Nätverk

FFD is part of the international AgriCord Alliance, which consists of 13 development cooperation organizations from different parts of the world. We implement AgriCord’s joint programme, which aims to reduce poverty by strengthening producer organizations and livelihoods, while also participating in AgriCord’s quality system.

We receive funding from our members, private donors, and development cooperation funds from, among others, Finland, Belgium, France, and the European Union. We work closely with other civil society organizations and research institutes, such as Luke, SYKE, IIED, IUCN, and VITRI.

FFD coordinates AgriCord’s cooperation with the Forest and Farm Facility, for example by supporting climate-related work. Our partner, the International Family Forest Facility Alliance, supports producer organizations in the forestry sector. We achieve our objectives by focusing on long-term partnerships with farmers and forest owners, as well as through networking with national and international organizations.
