Mission
Forest Peoples Programme supports the rights of peoples who live in forests and depend on them for their livelihoods. We work to create political space for forest peoples to secure their rights, control their lands and decide their own futures.
Strategic Approaches
•Supporting and advancing the exercise of self-determination by indigenous and forest peoples by strengthening community governance, mobilisation and representation, and the creation and use of political spaces where indigenous and forest peoples' voices can be heard.
•Ensuring access to justice by developing and using accountability and redress mechanisms in both public and private institutions that are directly accessible to indigenous and forest peoples and their communities.
•Partnered advocacy towards legal and policy reform and the development of best practice and standards consistent with indigenous and forest peoples' rights in international law.
•Networking, sharing information and building (...)Main EU files targeted
FPP tracks and works in particular on the Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) Action Plan, adopted by the EU in 2003. FPP works with partner organisations in timber producing countries (including Indonesia, Guyana, DRC and others) to support the establishment of effective and comprehensive legal structures to enable the FLEGT programme to reach into illegal timber trade, and to support work on community monitoring of illegal timber.
FPP also works to advance discussions within the European Union and European Commission on the establishment of an EU Action Plan on Deforestation and forest Degradation (EU-APDD).

Communication activities
A major international seminar on deforestation and human rights was convened in 2018 in Amsterdam and follow up launch and advocacy activities took place mid-2018 and in Utrecht in June 2019
Advocacy carried out by southern partners and FPP in Utrecht ensured that indigenous issues and human rights was on the agenda of Amsterdam Declaration Partnership multi-stakeholder meeting; the European Sustainable Palm Oil dialogue; the launch of the Accountability Framework Initiative; Dutch officials; and the Dutch Development Bank FMO. Without the physical presense of the delegation in Utrecht, it is almost certain that there would have been no or extremely limited consideration of these issues during these meetings and by these actors (even the AFI was reluctant to allow a speaking slot for an indigenous representative)
Real and sustained momentum has been built towards the UK Government introducing a mandatory due diligence requirement (human rights and environment) on companies with deforestation-risk commodities. Through inputs in both HR coalitions (CORE) and through environmental NGO coalitions (UK NGO Coalition on Forests), FPP has provided textual proposals to shape this requirement. Sustained engagement with the UK Government’s flagship ‘Global Resources Initiative’ has supported this momentum. We are now seeing political party manifestos including such a requirement, pointing to adoption of some form of requirement in the shorter term (1-2 years). FPP has a unique role, crossing both environmental (deforestation) and human rights elementsOther activities
