Webinar - IFFA - International Family Forestry Alliance

Opportunities and challenges of family forest farmers in Nepal

In keeping with its mission, the International Family Forestry Alliance (IFFA) has launched a series of webinars intended for the managers of woodlot owners’ associations around the globe.

Managers often deal with similar issues but have few opportunities to share their experiences with their international counterparts. These webinars attempt to bridge this gap by providing a forum for managers to exchange information and discuss issues.

During most of the sessions, speakers will be invited to give a brief presentation on a topic faced by forest owners’ associations in their region. Afterwards, a moderator will lead discussions among participants. These webinars are held in English on the Teams platform and participation is free of charge.

Our next guest speaker, Mr. Jog Raj Giri will introduce us to Opportunities and challenges of family forest farmers in Nepal. In addition, the presentation will cover the involvement of the Association of Family Forest Owners of Nepal (AFFON) in solving these issues.  Mr. Raj Giri is a founder and Chairperson of AFFON as agroforestry has always been his primary livelihood option. He has been involved in the field of community forest and family forest related programs and campaigns for the past 20 years. He is actually involved in expanding the family farmers network, enhancing their capacity, conducting advocacy campaigns for forest farmers friendly policy and programs as well as trying to ease the carbon financing mechanism for the benefit of forest owners.

Managers of forest owners’ associations who wish to participate in the webinar must provide their name and affiliation by sending an email to bois(at)upa.qc.ca 
A reply will be sent with the information required to connect to the webinar. Participants must register prior to each webinar.

For more information, please contact Vincent Miville (vmiville(at)upa.qc.ca) at the Quebec’s Federation of Forest Owners.
