Influencing the global forest policy agenda: an evaluation of CIFOR's research
A relatively small number of policymakers and opinion leaders in government department, donor agencies, development banks and NGOs make many of the most important and far-reaching decisions about forests and forest policy; these individuals have a great deal of influence over other decision maker...
The Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) Criteria and Indicators (C&I) research responded to an international demand for science to help clarify the assessment of sustainable forest management through development and improvement of C&I. C&I help define standards for sustainable fore...

Funding agencies expect policy researchers to show that their efforts have a measurable impact. This poses a considerable challenge. It was traditionally thought that research influences policy directly and that specific policies can be traced back to particular research findings. However, many a...
