The Multistakeholder Forestry Programme (MFP) is a long-term partnership between the Government of Indonesia and the UK Department for International Development (DFID). In over 19 years of collaboration, the programme has worked with government, civil society and businesses to transform forest governance in Indonesia, tackle illegal logging and boost the trade in legal and sustainable timber. These successes have gained international recognition. In 2016 Indonesia became the first country in the world to be recognised as meeting the standards agreed through the EU’s Forest law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) licensing scheme.
