RECOFTC

RECOFTC is an international nonprofit organization working towards a future where resilient communities with respected rights thrive in forest landscapes that they manage sustainably and equitably. RECOFTC takes a long-term, landscape-based and inclusive approach in supporting local communities to secure their land and resource rights, stop deforestation, find alternative livelihoods and foster gender equality. With more than 37 years of experience, RECOFTC has built trusting relationships with partners from communities, governments, businesses, academia and civil society organizations. RECOFTC’s innovations, knowledge and initiatives enable countries to foster good forest governance, mitigate and adapt to climate change and achieve the UN Global Goals.

RECOFTC operates in the Asia-Pacific region, with country offices in Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand and Viet Nam.

We strengthen capacities, rights and governance to ensure that local people can maintain and benefit fairly from sustainable forest landscapes in the Asia-Pacific region. We deliver on our mission through training, network building, research, demonstrating landscape interventions, convening, advocacy and outreach, and policy analysis.

RECOFTC is certified by NGOsource as equivalent to a U.S. public charity under the International Revenue Service's Equivalency Determination standards.
