FLEGT Asia

EFI’s EU FLEGT Asia Regional Support Programme, commonly known as “ FLEGT Asia”, promotes good forest governance in the Asian region. FLEGT Asia aims to achieve this by strengthening regional cooperation in forest governance and by promoting and facilitating international trade in verified legal timber.

The collection and sharing of information such as trade statistics, market developments, baseline studies and stakeholder analysis is an important first tier of FLEGT Asia’s work. In order to support the relevant stakeholders such as civil society, the private sector, and government agencies, FLEGT Asia carries out capacity building activities to support these stakeholders in improving forest governance. FLEGT Asia also collaborates with other regional programmes to complement and support actions already taking place in the region.

FLEGT Asia's outputs can be found here. The news section below contains the latest updates on FLEGT Asia's work in the region.
