Swiss Contribution to the Global Forest Financing Facilitation Network (GFFFN)
Many developing countries do not have the capacity to tap the different financial opportunities available for financing sustainable forest management (SFM). The Swiss contribution to the Global Forest Finance Facilitation Network (GFFFN) will provide catalytic support in the form of capacity building and technical expertise to promote the development of meaningful action and finance.

Hintergrund | Many countries around the world still lack the capacity needed to tap financial resources for Sustainable Forest Management (SFM). During the past decade, significant additional international public financing for forests has become available. The Global Forest Financing Facilitation Network (GFFFN) bridges the gap that will allow countries – in particular the less advantaged - to make better use of the diverse available opportunities. |
Ziele | The outcomes of the GFFFN’s catalytic measures are expected to make significant measurable contributions to increased resources mobilization for sustainable forest management (SFM). And improve the efficiency and effectiveness of forest financing from all sources. These financial contributions will enhance the increased economic, social and environmental benefits from expanded SFM implementation in developing countries and countries with economies in transition. |
Zielgruppen | Interested parties, governmental services and national and subnational level and non-governmental stakeholders that are responsible for the management of the permanent forest estate, both for production and protection. |
Mittelfristige Wirkungen | The catalytic measures of the GFFFN are expected to make significant measurable contributions to increased resources mobilization of financial resources; and improved efficiency and effectiveness of forest financing from all sources.

Resultate |
Erwartete Resultate: Support to three country assistance ‘packages’ One large regional and one small sub-regional training event Contribution to the establishment and operation of data base Resultate von früheren Phasen: No insights from previous phase available. Recent months have seen a sharp increase in the request for support through the GFFFN by UNFF member countries – a trend that is likely to continue as the instrument gains further profile. |
