Synopsis (short abstract) Evidence is growing that farm and forest producer organizations are at the heart of sustainable rural development, because it is only through organized groups that locally-controlled forestry can be scaled up to meet growing global demand for forest products, including environmental services and non-timber items. Forest and farm producer organizations can have a unique role in delivering the SDGs worldwide: although they are ‘merely’ local organizations they are capable of contributing to unive rsal goals. Many SDG targets have direct or indirect links to forests and landscapes (particularly under SDG 15, Life on land), but producer organizations also contribute to other SDGs as well. The SDGs provide the framework for this publication, and we have chosen seven of them as being of particular importance. The main focus is on ways in which producer organizations lead to direct SDG benefits, but many indirect benefits also spring from improved livelihoods and decision-making.

    Connecting forest and farm producer organizations to climate change finance
    A toolkit for apex forest and farm producer organizations

    This toolkit does not provide a step-by-step guide for accessing global climate change finance, because the situation is very different in each country and a universally applicable checklist of steps to take is not possible to provide. However, the toolkit does provide a set of steps for apex FFPOs to figure out what they need to do in their particular country to set themselves up to access climate finance. The toolkit also provides a brief overview of actual practices that forest and farm producers can pursue. This overview is intentionally brief, partly because the main focus of the toolkit is access to climate change finance, and partly because what set of practices is appropriate for a given producer varies with geographic and socioeconomic conditions.

    The Forest and Farm Facility, which was established in 2012, is a partnership between FAO, the International Institute for Environment and Development, the International Union for Conservation of Nature, and AgriCord. The FFF works in ten core countries (Bolivia, Ecuador, Kenya, Ghana, Madagascar, Tanzania, Togo, Zambia, Nepal and Viet Nam and in two network countries (Liberia and The Gambia)). We are a unique, highly cost-effective programme – our approach of directly supporting forest and farm groups as key agents of change influences national and global forestry and farming practices, programmes, narratives and policies.
