The Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) is a non-profit, scientific facility that conducts research on the most pressing challenges of forest and landscapes management around the world. With our global, multidisciplinary approach, we aim to improve human well-being, protect the environment, and increase equity. To do so, we help policymakers, practitioners and communities make decisions based on solid science about how they use and manage their forests and landscapes.
Capacity building, collaboration and partnerships are essential to finding and implementing innovative solutions to the challenges that the globe faces. We are proud to work with local and international partners. We are a member of the CGIAR Consortium and lead the CGIAR Research Program on Forests, Trees and Agroforestry.
Our headquarters are in Bogor, Indonesia. We have offices in 8 countries across Asia, Latin America and Africa, and we work in more than 30 countries. Contact us for more information.

General
we have supported ANAPO, FEGASACRUZ (soy and livestock producer organizations), and CSOs FAN and AVINA to advocate for the improvement and enforcement of environmental regulations, and to work together with the government to review, adapt, implement and enforce the environmental legal framework. These CSOs were convened into a MSP, and worked collaboratively with the Authority for the Supervision of Forest and Land (ABT) to improve its processes and strengthen their enforcement capacities. As a result, the ABT improved and automated the approval process of land use rights, making it more accessible, transparent and efficient (reducing the permit approval process from 20 days to 15 minutes). ABT made staff capacity available to do more field monitoring and control. They have also adopted geospatial monitoring systems to get daily updates on changes in the land use, and an early warning system for fires, that facilitates the detection of fire sources in real time. Trading company Cargill received advice to improve its legal compliance checklist as a result of the discussions held in the multi stakeholder platform. This would work as an incentive (from the market side) for farmers' compliance with the environmental regulations. The political instability in the country influenced the high rotation of staff and the absence of the National Institute for Agrarian Reform (INRA) in the dialogue platform. In 2020 we supported INRA to identify the priority improvements in relation to producers’ land titling and land planning that will be further worked out over the course of 2021.
