The 'Sustainable Forest Livelihoods (SFL) for Communities in Guyana and Suriname' program aims to maintain healthy forests and natural resources in these ecologically rich countries. To achieve this, the project will contribute to strengthening institutional governance capacity for effective forest monitoring and management, strengthen local community capacity development on forest resources, and enhance sustainable nature and forest-based livelihoods for communities.
PROJECT FUNDING

It is founded on the values of respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and respect for human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities. It acts globally to promote sustainable development of societies, environment and economies, so that everyone can benefit.
