Abstract

Objectives: To set the rules governing the Centre for International Forestry Research (CIFOR). Summary of provisions: The Constitution sets out the status of CIFOR, its purpose and its powers. CIFOR is, inter alia, to conduct, promote and support research that can provide the basis for sustainable forestry and forest systems in developing countries (art. 6). It is also to formulate a research program to underpin the science of forestry, with a view to contributing to increasing the forestry research capacity of developing countries. CIFOR is to provide the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) with details of its programme and budget (art. 18), and may enter into agreements for co-operation with relevant organisations, foundations, agencies and institutions, to achieve its objectives in the most efficient way (art. 19). Institutional mechanisms: The organs of CIFOR are a Board of Trustees and a Director-General (art. 8).
