Policy influencing/advocacyThe Forest and Farm Facility seeks to strengthen and empower FFPOs, including women, youth and indigenous peoples, as primary change agents for climate resilient landscapes and improved livelihoods. It does so by providing direct financial support and technical assistance to strengthen forest and farm producer organizations representing smallholders, rural women’s groups, local communities and indigenous peoples’ institutions. The Forest and Farm Facility is a partnership launched in 2012 between FAO (management and in-country operations), IIED (knowledge generation, monitoring and learning), Agricord (FFPO organizational support), and IUCN (regional and global FFPO engagement). It is guided by a Steering Committee, is formed by members affiliated with forest producer, community forestry, indigenous peoples’ organizations, international research community, business development service provider organization, private sector, government, and donors. Phase II of FFF is funded by Finland, Germany, Norway through the Flexible Multi-Partner Mechanism of FAO, Sweden, the Netherlands, the United States of America, and IKEA. IUCN's main role in the partnership is to, on the one hand, build the capacity of apex forest and farm producers organizations to strengthen their resilience to climate change . On the other hand, the objective is to increase visibility of FFPOs and ensure they have a seat at international, regional and national decision making processes with a specific focus on landscape restoration and direct access to climate finance.On-going
