  4. Consultation Process: “This FIF/Program will be developed based on a broad and transparent consultative process. That process will take into account country led priorities for the containment of deforestation and degradation, and build upon complementarities between existing forest initiatives” Forest Investment Fund/Program

  6. Key elements FIF/Program • Addressing transformational investment needs of developing countries recognizing the root problems of deforestation • Remedial strategies: portfolio of investments • Neutral to climate change negotiations • Learning by doing and demonstrating actions at scale • Voluntary & country-driven Forest Investment Fund/Program
