National Forest Program — The term “national forest programme” does not refer to one specific programme. It actually incorporates a wide range of approaches that can contribute to the formulation, planning and implementation of forest policy at national and subnational levels. As one of the most important outcomes of international forest policy dialogue, this means that NFP is applicable to all countries and to all types of forests.

National Forest Program

The NFP is a country-specific process that provides a framework and guidance for:

  • Country-driven implementation of sustainable forest management and forest-related contribution to sustainable development;
  • National implementation of internationally agreed commitments, such as the non-legally-Binding Instrument (NLBI) also known as the “Forest Instrument” , UNFCCC decisions on REDD+; and international initiatives such as those related to FLEGT;
  • Multilateral and bilateral collaboration, with NFPs used as a common frame of reference for forest-related international cooperation by the world’s major organizations and fora and most bilateral donors.
