The Department for International Development (DFID) is providing £3.7 million (2008-12) to Global Witness to increase transparency in the management and governance of forests in four countries, including Peru. With this support representatives of the 1,300 indigenous communities that inhabit over 12 million hectares of forest have participated in the development of a new national forest law to be approved this year. This support is also enabling civil society to monitor forest sector transparency and legally ask the Government of Peru for access to information on industrial forest concession allocation.DFID has provided funding to the Centre for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), which has trained Peruvian loggers to improve their harvesting techniques, and helped the national forestry department develop community forest management.DFID also finances the World Bank-administered Forest Investment Programme and Forest Carbon Partnership Facility. Peru has applied for support from both of these funds.
