Description

This agreement between SWIFT, a global financial messaging service provider, and CIFOR, aims to support CIFOR's work in sustainable forestry. SWIFT will provide financial contributions over an initial three-year period, with the possibility of renewal, to fund CIFOR's projects in the Yangambi Engagement Landscape in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In exchange, CIFOR will actively promote SWIFT's commitment to sustainable forestry, including featuring their support on their website and other platforms. The partnership also includes opportunities for SWIFT to attend partner's relevant events, ensuring continued engagement and collaboration between the two organizations. This agreement reflects a shared commitment to environmental conservation and sustainable development.
