By generating robust scientific data and insights, CIFOR aims to inform policy decisions and promote sustainable management of forest resources. The organization operates across multiple continents, with a significant focus on tropical regions in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Through its interdisciplinary approach, CIFOR addresses critical issues such as food security, livelihoods, and ecosystem services, contributing to global efforts in achieving sustainable development goals.
CIFOR operates in several African countries, including Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Zambia, among others.
CIFOR’s key programs include sustainable forest management, climate change adaptation and mitigation, and biodiversity conservation. The organization offers opportunities for research collaboration, capacity building, and policy engagement.
CIFOR has significantly contributed to global forestry research, influencing policy frameworks and sustainable practices. Its work has led to improved forest governance, enhanced livelihoods, and greater awareness of the role of forests in climate change mitigation.
