A programme of research, capacity building and institutional development, running programmes in DR Congo, Colombia, Ghana, Indonesia, Viet Nam and Suriname.
To ensure that knowledge is used effectively in the formulation of appropriate policies and managing forests for conservation and sustainable development.
In our vision knowledge and skills play a central role in improving forest governance and forest management.
Country programmes are a key component of TBI’s approach. They form the foundation for integrated programmes of collaborative research, capacity building and dialogue projects.
The need to improve forest governance as an important prerequisite for promoting sustainable forest management and reducing deforestation and forest degradation is widely acknowledged. To make governance better work for people and forests is not an easy challenge due to divergent interests and mind-sets and imbalanced power relations and unequal access to information, decision-making, resources and benefits.
12 April, 2012In order to contribute to documenting and analysing the experiences and lessons generated from private actors engaged in the SFM arena, the European Tropical Forest Research Network (ETFRN), together with Tropenbos International and GIZ, will publish a special issue of ETFRN News on ‘Private Business and Forest Finance: Insights, Opportunities and Good Practices’.
16 March, 2012Forest communities in Ghana will soon be producing lumber to shore up the volume of legal lumber supply for the domestic market. This is to be made possible as Tropenbos International Ghana implements a project that seeks to link local communities to forest concession holders to produce legal lumber under the FAO/ACP/EU-FLEGT Support Programme.
09 February, 2012The domestic timber market in Ghana is large (2.5 million m3) and will expand significantly as Ghana’s population is predicted to double by 2030 to almost 50 million. More than 700,000 livelihoods depend on this trade. Non-regulation of the domestic timber market will lead to forest degradation, loss of environmental services and rural and urban poverty, as well as jeopardizing the legal international timber trade.
