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.
