Description
Description
|
The Collaborative Partnership on Forests (CPF) is an informal, voluntary arrangement among 14 international organizations and secretariats with substantial programmes on forests. These agencies share their experiences and build on them to produce new benefits for their respective constituencies. They collaborate to streamline and align their work and to find ways of improving forest management and conservation and the production and trade of forest products. Updated September 2015.
The CPF is a low-cost addition to the International Arrangement on Forests, but more funding would increase the scope and continuity of its work at various levels. In the past, member states have provided CPF member organizations with funds to undertake specific tasks and joint initiatives and to secure expert staff to carry out the work. There is potential to boost this approach, improving resource efficiency and strategic planning among CPF member organizations.

Objectives
|
Members have been designated focal agencies for each element addressed by UNFF, following a principle of shared responsibility. This division of responsibility is based on the mandate, competence, resources and comparative advantage of each member. The role of each focal agency is to strengthen collaboration among members, as well as with other partners, in order to mobilize resources and expertise, avoid duplication of effort and maximize efficiencies and synergies in support of the work of UNFF. Key tasks of focal agencies include: facilitating the implementation of IPF/IFF proposals for action; providing documentation for UNFF sessions, including drafting reports of the Secretary-General; supporting country- and organization-led initiatives of UNFF; channeling requests for information and assistance to the appropriate sources.
