Many responsible consumer goods companies have made commitments to ensure that the products they sell containing, for example, palm oil, are not contributing to deforestation and environmental damage. We support many companies to trace their complex supply chains, identify the producers that supply them and work with the producers to implement environmentally and socially responsible practices on the ground.

In 2015 and 2016 Proforest helped TFA 2020 draw together government, private sector and non-governmental representatives to agree national guidelines for palm oil production in six African countries. We’re working with TFA 2020 to expand this initiative to Latin America. Read more here.

Many ways to learn
We share our knowledge and experience with professionals from government, private sector and civil society through a wide range on training courses and capacity building programmes. Our International Training Programme works with several partners to run courses for palm oil producers and auditors on palm oil sustainability, as well as understanding what and how to conserve important values in the landscape. We mentor young professionals in Africa through practical capacity building programmes, and welcome interns into our daily work.

Practising for a sustainable future
Governments, private sector and civil society in Africa all need skilled, experienced people to implement more sustainable policies and practices for natural resource management. The Africa Practitioners Network provides formal training and hands on capacity building to help them understand, implement and monitor key initiatives to improve the management and governance of natural resources.

Africa Practitioners Network:
Highlights from the first two years
The Africa Practitioners Network was established in 2014 with the aim of building practical capacity among governments, companies and NGOs to understand, implement and monitor key initiatives to improve management and governance of natural resources.
INTERNATIONAL TRAINING
Getting to grips with palm oil
Across the tropics, large producers, smallholders, auditors and other stakeholders need to implement and assess compliance with RSPO certification requirements. With specialised courses for producers and auditors in four languages we share that knowledge through in-depth, small group training sessions.
INTERNATIONAL TRAINING
Widening the scope by moving on-line
In 2016, a major focus of our training programme has been to move parts of or whole courses on-line. This has huge potential to reach participants who could not attend our courses in person, and enables us to extend learning by covering more topics in greater depth.
