The RECOFTC Strategic Plan for 2018-2023 was presented by RECOFTC Executive Director Dr. David Ganz. Between 2018 and 2023, the Center will focus on achieving four strategic goals that act as guides for the Center’s new position in the field of forestry and environmental policy. The new strategy and direction are based on 30 years of experiences and collaboration with key partners that the Center has cultivated and will continue to foster.
