The Climate Investment Funds (CIF) commissioned this independent, learning-oriented evaluation to assess what elements of the Forest Investment Program (FIP) and Dedicated Grant Mechanism (DGM) have or have not worked, for whom, and under what conditions. The findings and recommendations will be used to generate lessons for new CIF programs such as the Nature, People, and Climate (NPC) Investment Program. The recommendations will also inform discussions on how climate finance can better support Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) and on ways to improve private sector participation in forest and nature-based programming.
