"Mother file" - NO VALUE ATTACHED - Forest Governance, Markets and Climate Services Framework

The Framework will provide services to UK’s bilateral international forestry projects on the basis of need. It will help deliver international, regional and country services to the Forest Governance Markets and Climate (FGMC) programme. This is a new project with a budget of 60 000 000 GBP over its first 4 years. FGMC is UK’s bilateral contribution to the European Union Forest Law Enforcement Governance and Trade (EU FLEGT) Action Plan, and will work with ten or so countries in that Action Plan. The Framework will also provide services to UK bilateral country partnerships to help deliver Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+). These are currently under development and due to start beginning 2012.
