Forest Governance, Markets and Climate (FGMC), Policy Evaluation and Learning Team (PELT)

DFID’s Forest Governance, Markets and Climate (FGMC) programme is a 10-year (2011-2021), £250 million programme aimed at tackling forest governance failures in developing timber-producing countries and the consequent market failures that result in illegal exploitation of forest land and resources and the associated trade in timber and other forest risk commodities. As FGMC approaches the end of its current phase, there is a need to take stock, at programme level, of progress and the prognosis for further achievements. To meet this need, FGMC has commissioned a ‘Policy Evaluation and Learning Team’ (PELT) to carry out research, reviews and analysis, jointly with PMST and DFID, to address the overarching question of: ‘how, why, and under what conditions do forest-related governance and markets change, to what effect and to whose benefit?'
