Tender Description

TEFOS - Territorios Forestales Sostenibles - is a 64m bilateral forest programme that aims to stabilise the deforestation frontier in conflict-affected areas of rural Colombia. TEFOS is based on three key, complimentary actions: i) improving and updating information for sustainable land use management, ii) strengthening institutions in charge of establishing an environmental rule of law and iii) supporting sustainable livelihoods.
TEFOS Pillar 3 is focused on kick starting and improving livelihoods in prioritised deforestation hotspots, through:
- Increasing communities skills and knowledge of sustainable agricultural practices and sustainable forest management to protect and increase forest cover.
- Promoting commercialisation and improving market access for sustainable commodities and services through public-private partnerships that protect standing forests in the deforestation border.
- Promoting conservation incentives in areas with land use restrictions.
