The Amerindian Peoples Association (APA), with support from the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), has embarked on a project to promote the participation of indigenous communities in improving forest governance.
The FAO project will further assist the communities to have an input into a key European Union (EU) programme on forest governance
Established in 2008, the EU’s Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) programme is focused on providing support to timber producing countries to implement projects that target forest governance measures.
