IMFN Strategic Initiatives
Model Forests provide platforms for putting local research and actions into practice. At the broader level, the Model Forest Network serves as a conduit for disseminating ideas and expertise gained from this research and for building partnerships with other like-minded organizations. These attributes make the IMFN an efficient, cost-effective springboard from which to tackle global, regional and local challenges, as well as to foster innovation in these and other priority areas.
At the 2008 IMFN Global Forum, participants identified several programming priorities of relevance to all network members in all regions and countries. Strategic Initiatives were therefore established to enable members to develop and implement programming priorities that address thematic issues that extend beyond one Model Forest. The goal of each initiative is to use Model Forests as a platform for examining the links between international policy objectives and on-the-ground actions.
Current IMFN Strategic Initiatives are:
