Mission: Community forestry international, inc. (cfi) assists rural communities to stabilize and regenerate forests by helping policy makers, development agencies, ngos, and professional foresters create the legal instruments, human resource capacities, and negotiation processes and methods to support resident resource managers. At cfi, we believe that including local communities in the management of natural resources leads to increased livelihood security and poverty alleviation that, in turn, encourages greater sustainable development. Cfi enables community forest management strategies to become an integral part of sustainable forest management world-wide. Cfi programs are implemented through four interrelated thematic areas: 1) regional and national policy dialogues, 2) mediation processes and methods, 3) participatory research and field programs, and 4) communication.
Programs: To assist rural communities to regenerate forests by helping to support resident resource managers; to publicize research materials demonstrating the benefits of regenerating forests.
