• The 8th Meeting of Asia Forest Partnership and AFP Dialogue REDD and Combating Illegal Logging
    27-29 May 2009, Bali, Indonesia 

    1245637253_dsc_0111.jpg‘Where is the money for REDD coming from? Is it falling from the sky?' asked a sceptical delegate.  The question was typical of the robust debates that characterised the 8th AFP dialogue sessions on REDD and illegal logging. The dialogue was held in Bali on May 27-29, hosted by the Indonesian government in collaboration with CIFOR with financial contributions from the governments of Japan and Switzerland and the USAID RAFT-TNC Program, GTZ, the EC-Indonesia FLEGT Support Project, WRI, IGES and DFID.

    AFP dialogues are open events, designed to encourage discussion about key forest issues, rather than build consensus. This year more than 250 participants attended, including politicians, scientists, aid workers and law enforcement specialists.
