EU FLEGT Facility

EU FLEGT FACILITY is a multi donor partnership formed to pursue a shared goal of enhancing forests’ contribution to poverty reduction, sustainable economic development, and maintaining and enhancing environmental services. Through improved knowledge and innovative approaches for sustainable forest management, the EU FLEGT FACILITY seeks to encourage the transition to a more socially and environmentally sustainable forest sector supported by sound policies and institutions that take a holistic approach to forest conservation and management. The EU FLEGT FACILITY fosters such policies and institutions through support to participatory processes, such as national forest programmes, and knowledge generation in four key thematic areas: forest governance, forests’ contribution to livelihoods of the rural poor, mitigation of adverse cross-sectoral impacts on forests, and innovative approaches to financing sustainable forest management.

The overall objective is to support the EU Forest Law Enforcement Governance and Trade (FLEGT) process in developing countries, related to the implementation of the EU FLEGT Action Plan. EU FLEGT Facility assists the European Commission and the EU Member States in their joint effort of its implementation.

The work of EU FLEGT Facility is governed by  operational guidelines.
