General
In Central America and Mexico, communities that live in tropical forests strive to manage these forests sustainably and protect their land rights while facing constant pressure from destructive practices such as illegal logging. At the IAF, we support community-led approaches to expanding economic opportunities and improving natural resource management. Our grantee partner, Asociacin de Comunidades Forestales de Petn (ACOFOP), together with the Alianza Mesoamericana de Pueblos y Bosques (AMPB) is promoting inclusive and sustainable economic development in forest communities by strengthening a network of young leaders from Guatemala, Panama, Nicaragua, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Honduras. ACOFOP and AMPB are training these emerging leaders in project development and management, providing seed funding for their community initiatives, and honing their communication skills to raise awareness of the importance of community forestry in their countries. This grant is part of the IAF's efforts to address the root causes of irregular migration in Central America.

Evaluation, Research and Communication Land Tenure TO
General
The purpose of this activity is to: 1) conduct evaluations and research on E3/Land Tenure and Resource Management's (E3/LTRM) "Property Rights" programs as they relate to forests, sustainable agriculture, and natural resource management, facilitating learning to enhance biodiversity conservation for programmatic design and implementation; and 2) communicate those results to all interested parties. The end result will be improved data, communication and training on property rights interventions, leading to better, more cost-effective interventions. Results will contribute to better informed investments in property rights programs and subsequently better outcomes for climate smart agriculture, women's economic empowerment, increased forest and/or tree cover as a critical biodiversity habitat, climate change adaptation and reduced conflicts over natural resources. This task order advances E3/LTRM's technical leadership. Cloudburst Group is the Prime Partner for this activity. Cloudburst Group needs to be added to the Operational Plan database.
