Donors

PROFOR is made possible thanks to the financial contributions from the following donors:

	The Department for International Development Cooperation of Finland
	The Department for International Development (DFID) of the United Kingdom
	The Japanese International Forestry Cooperation Office
	Swiss Development Cooperation (SDC)
	The European Union (EU)
	The German Government, through the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH
	The Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs
	Dutch Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality

In addition, the World Bank houses PROFOR's Secretariat.

PROFOR's Advisory Board is chaired by the World Bank, and is comprised of representatives of PROFOR's donor organizations. In addition, two non-donor representatives (from other forest-related processes, the private sector, developing countries, NGOs) participate in the work of the Advisory Board as observers. These positions are currently held by a representative from the African Forestry Forum and from the Christensen Fund. The Advisory Board operates on the basis of consensus.

Partners

PROFOR support strengthens the World Bank’s collaboration with other development partners, in particular with the National Forest Programme Facility hosted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, with members of the Collaborative Partnership on Forests, with the European Union’s programs on forest law enforcement, governance and trade, and with a variety of REDD+ related initiatives.

In the process of generating and sharing forest-related knowledge, PROFOR has formed a flexible network with government organizations, international organizations, leading think-tanks and local NGOs working towards a common goal: sustaining forests for all.
