IMFN Strategic Initiatives
At the 2008 IMFN Global Forum, participants identified several programming priorities of relevance to 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. The IMFN Secretariat leads on and coordinates the initiatives on behalf of members.
What is an IMFN Strategic Initiative?
A collaborative program or project undertaken by members of the IMFN, independent of any one Model Forest, which may include several Model Forests across regions and countries.
Why do Model Forests participate in IMFN Strategic Initiatives?
- To provide opportunities for Model Forests to address issues that may be difficult for an individual Model Forest to tackle
- To examine ideas and/or challenges at a range of scales: local, national, regional, global
- To facilitate collaboration between Model Forests and international organizations
Current IMFN Strategic Initiatives are:
