The document discusses CIFOR's goals of becoming a leading source of information on forests, poverty, the environment, climate change impacts, and trade impacts. It introduces SIIS (Seamless Integrated Information Systems) as an integrated system to enable rapid access and analysis of information for decision making. SIIS will include databases, systems, and processes, with a focus on people, technology, and business processes. The framework and implementation of SIIS at CIFOR are described.
