3. OUR VISION & MISSION
VISION
CIFOR envisions a more equitable world
where forestry and landscapes enhance the
environment and well-being for all.
MISSION
CIFOR advances human well-being, equity
and environmental integrity by conducting
innovative research, developing partnersโ
capacity and actively engaging in dialogue
with all stakeholders to inform policies and
practices that affect forests and people.
5. INDONESIA- OUR HOST
COUNTRY PARTNER
โข Indonesia is 3rd largest tropical forests
country in the world
โข President Yudhoyono visited CIFOR
campus in 2012
โข Key note policy address:
โBy 2025 no exploitation of resources
should exceed its biological regenerative
capacityโ
6. HOW WE WORK
CIFOR achieves impact that is grounded in science. Our approach rests
on clearly defined principles and themes, and on our three pillars which
are integrated through our theory of change.
Our 3 pillars :
1. Research for
Impact
2. Capacity
Development
3. Outreach and
Engagement
7. WHO WE ARE
188 staff
(including HQ Bogor and Hubs in Lima and Nairobi, hosted by CGIAR partners)
8. CIFOR AND THE CGIAR
The CGIAR is a strategic alliance of 15 research centers who are focused primarily
on issues of food security and poverty reduction in developing countries.
CIFOR is the lead center of the CGIAR Research Program on Forests, Trees and
Agroforestry (FTA). In phase 2 FTA will look towards:
Better understanding and enhancing the contributions of forests,
trees and agroforestry to ensure food security and nutrition
Address climate change adaptation and mitigation
Address landscapes challenges for sustainable development

11. RESEARCH PRIORITIES
Forests & Human Well Being
6 Thematic Areas :
Sustainable Landscapes & Food Equal Opportunities, Gender,
Justice, & Tenure
Climate change, Energy,
& Low-carbon Development
Value Chains, Finance, &
Investments
Forest Management Restoration
12. BROADENING THE FRAME:
LANDSCAPES AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Sustainable landscapes are fundamental for our future
Sector and institution fragmentation hinder us from finding
good landscape solutions
A generic landscape framework can provide leverage for
scaling up sustainable development
We must embrace and appreciate local ownership and
diversity in priorities and solutions
Forestry should be addressed and applied in this context โ
this is a challenge for current institutions (cf SDG17)
13. The Landscape Approach โ
integrated solutions for people across sectors
โDespite some barriers to
implementation, a landscape approach
has considerable potential to meet social
and environmental objectives at local
scales while aiding national commitments
to addressing ongoing global challenges.โ

โข Promoting scientifically solid and cost effective
approaches to identify, prioritize and monitor forest
landscape restoration activities
โข Researching gender, migration and forest management
in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia and Indonesia

Research for impact
- Stories on Forest News are targeted
towards policymakers, in addition to
academia, to highlight the gap between
current policy and what is needed on
the ground
- Videos capture impact at local level &
what our research means for
communities
Capacity building
- CIFORโs project with DFID-KNOWFOR
stresses the importance of knowledge
sharing
Outreach and engagement
- Media blasts to reach a broader audience
19. The Global Landscapes
Forum
A Global Landscape of Practice
โข Evolved from multiple โForest Dayโ and Five
โAgriculture and Rural Development Dayโ events
โข Worldโs leading multi-stakeholder, science-led forum
championing the landscape approach
โข GLF event participation over four years:
o ~9,000 participants
o >50 Ministers and heads of state
o Thousands of UNFCCC negotiators
o 13,500 online participants
โข Outreach:
o More than 32 million people potentially reached via Twitter alone
o >1,500 traditional media hits.
โข 2017-2021: Creating a Global Community of Practice
o Support from core partners (including UNEP, the World Bank, etc.)
along with core funding from the German Government
o Encouraging knowledge sharing and learning around the
landscape approach
o Acting as a global accelerator of best practices
The Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) has been producing science that impacts forests and people since 1993. Following the Paris Agreement in 2015 and its ratification in 2016, and the global concord on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the world has clear, new targets and frameworks as we look to a more sustainable and equitable future. With an eye to that bright future, CIFORโs vision, mission and values, as well as six thematic work areas are all aligned to the SDGs and follow impact pathways for forestry research to provide positive contributions to the new development agenda
CIFOR has 6 thematic work areas that are designed to contribute to the global development and climate agenda, and produce measurable impact. Our thematic work areas all contribute to achieving the SDGs.
1. Forests and Human Well Being
CIFORโs research in this thematic area will ilustrate and validate the diverse contributions of forests to the multi-faceted dimensions of human well-being across the topics.
2. Sustainable Landscapes and Food
CIFOR responds to the complex web of food security and nutrition interactions by providing a broad perspective abd landscapes-scale comparisons across sites of the contribution that forests and tree-based agricultural systems make to healthy and diverse diets.
3. Equal Opportunities, Gender, Justice, and Tenure
CIFORโs research will evaluate the effects of devolution on forests and conservation outcomes , differentiated livelihoods and local governance, including womenโs participation.
CIFORโs global comparative study on tenure seeks to more fully understand the factors that inhibit effective rights devolution.
CIFOR seeks to advance gender equity and the empowerment of women and girls by deepening, expanding, and strengthening gender integration into our research and action initiatives.

4. Climate Change, Energy and Low-Carbon Development
CIFOR will carry out research that improves our technical understanding of climate change and its interactions with forests and landscapes, as well as our underatsnding of the social and equity implications of climate change to ensure that the interests of rural land users are reflected in decision making.
5. Value Chains, Finance and Investments
The main goal for the work to be conducted under this thematic area is to support public, private, and public-private governance arrangements that are effective in achieving sustainability, slong with inclusive business models that could improve benefit sharing and upgrading of smallholder systems, and responsible finance. This will be achieved by conducting research, building capacities, and undertaking outreach and engagement activities to reach key factors in the public and private sector, as well as multistakeholder platforms.
6. Forest Management and Restoration
Managing and restoring forets for conservation and the sustainable production of wood and non-wood products is at the center of SDG 15.
CIFOR focuses mainly, but not exclusively, on the tropical domain, working across multiple scale and functions.
To address the issues of access to forest resources by rural people in developing countries, and to contribute to increasing forest production through more equitable multiple resource management, this work focuses on 2 main areas : diversified forest management and forest landscape restoration.
Through these efforts, CIFOR aims to improve forest management and restoration in at least 70 million ha.
BOGOR, Indonesia (13 June, 2012) _ Indonesiaโs president today said that the sustainable management of the worldโs forests is critical for equitable economic growth and he called for a โfundamental reinvention and reorganization of societies throughout the world.โ
ย
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said that Indonesiaโs economy has changed from one in which forests were sacrificed in return for economic growth, to an environmentally sustainable one where forests are prized for the wide range of ecological services that they provide to society. He declared that by 2025 โno exploitation of resources should exceed its biological regenerative capacity.โ
we need to revive the Center without walls concept (importance of partnerships).
CIFOR is headquartered in Bogor, Indonesia, and maintains hubs in Nairobia, Kenya, Yaounde, Cameroon, and Lima, Peru. Research in the six thematic work areas is underway in more than 50 countries
The CIFOR Strategy 2016-2025 describes our vision, mission and values, as well as six thematic work areas โ all aligned to the SDGs and defining pathways for forestry research and its positive contributions to the new development agenda.
