UKAID/FCDO Forest Governance, Markets and Climate Programme (FGMC)

The FGMC fund is for international civil society organisations and trade associations for projects that tackle international trade in illegally-harvest forest products, establish effective forest governance and market reforms in producer countries that promote legal trade, and benefit poor people.

FGMC supports Proforest’s Production Landscape Programme, which seeks to help align company commitments on deforestation and other sustainability issues with government policy processes and civil society initiatives. The programme works in Ghana, Cameroon, Liberia, Indonesia and China with a focus on initiatives at scale that drive more sustainable production and sourcing of oil palm, cocoa, rubber and timber.
