The project focuses on the following six countries:
- Brazil, South America
- Democratic Republic of Congo, Central Africa
- Ghana, West Africa
- Sri Lanka, South Asia
- Tanzania, East Africa
- Viet Nam, Southeast Asia
The project was formulated in response to a call for proposals by the European Commission (EC) to assist the implementation of the EC’s own “Forest Law Enforcement Governance and Trade” (FLEGT) Action Plan.
