About Forest and Farm Facility (FFF)
The FFF promotes cross-sectoral coordination and enhances the organization and capacity of local people for forest and farm community’s advocacy, livelihoods, and sustainable landscape management. Moreover, FFF supports regional and global forest and farm producer organizations to carry their messages to policy level meetings.
The Forest and Farm Facility funds partnership agreements and small grants at local, national, regional and international levels, and seeks to build and share best practices, learning and experiences, between these actors. The FFF is a partnership between the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) and the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) currently funded by Sweden, Finland, Germany, the USA and AgriCord, through its Farmers Fighting Poverty Programme. We work together with and provide resources directly to forest and farm producer organizations and governments in 10 countries. FFF responds to local needs, adapts to country context, and complements with other ongoing initiatives.
