A PDF providing an overview of the project can be found here: /fccp/partners-and-projects/SAF_FIP_Mexico Case Study_2017.pdf

This case study explores the outcomes of the FIP in Mexico, finding that the program has been successful in achieving a mix of objectives including rural development, poverty reduction, improved market access, and increased resilience for forest-dwelling communities and their forests. Growing from past investments and linking with national-level policy, the FIP has built institutional capacity of key organizations like the National Forestry Commission (CONAFOR) and other executing agencies, offered workshops and learning exchanges, improved monitoring and information-sharing capabilities, creating new financial tools, and bolstered business management and lo ng-term planning abilities for forests by forest owners.
