Dear Colleagues,
As you see from below, the CIF/Forest Investment Program is now establishing
its operational structures.
A key step is the selection of experts who will advise the FIP sub-Committee
on choosing pilot countries. As you see from the documents below about 6-8
experts with a diverse range of skills and knowledge are to be selected.
It is extremely important for achieving FIP goals that experts with proven
global expertise and experience in forestry, climate change and development
are nominated.
We count on you in helping out in this important matter.
You are kindly requested to spread the information and/or nominate
qualified experts (including yourself) for this assignment.
Many thanks for you cooperation
