Partnerships for Forests\u2019 aims to catalyse, facilitate and accelerate change towards sustainable private sector investment, sustainable procurement practices and sustainable supply chains.<\/p>\n
We are an incubator. Through grants and technical assistance (TA), we help selected partners move through the stages required to get to market \u2013 from idea development and\u00a0memorandum of understanding (MOU), to business planning, to deal negotiation and piloting, and finally to commercial scale-up.<\/p>\n
Partnerships for Forests operates according to\u00a0a\u00a0principle of additionality. This means that grants and TA must\u00a0not substitute or replace organisation\u2019s core funding, or subsidise activities that private sector companies or other partners should undertake themselves.<\/p>\n
Instead, they must\u00a0lead to outcomes that may have not have happened without the programme\u2019s involvement. Grants and TA must\u00a0support new or innovative projects that catalyse investment and develop knowledge in the form of new tools, techniques, lessons, or models.<\/p>\n
Partnerships for Forest\u2019s Grants and TA will provide support across the three programme areas: Forest Partnerships; enabling conditions; and demand-side measures.<\/p>\n
