The Alliance catalyzes the potential of forested and

people and protect the environment. !

How?!
We do this by making high-impact grants and engaging key
stakeholders, policy-makers and experts to explore and
develop solutions. !

What are our goals?!
• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with land use
management!
• Protect the livelihoods and rights of indigenous peoples and
rural Communities and slow the loss of ecosystem services
and biodiversity!
• Single grantmaking strategy; draw on collective expertise,
networks, and local offices!
• Overcome significant technical, social and political barriers
through necessary scale, intensity, and innovation!
• Leverage funding for the Alliance strategy!

2 What have we learned?
• Part of our commitment to being an effective
organization is evaluating our own progress.
• To do this, we launched an independent mid-term
evaluation (MTE) in which we examined our:
1. Approach:
Has our grant making been well planned and
prepared?
2. Deployment:
How well organized and efficient is CLUA?
3. Selected challenges and opportunities:
What’s next? '$"
