A new partnership between CDC Group, Finnfund, Norfund, and New Forests, a global investment manager focused on sustainable landscapes. The three structures have come together to develop investment strategies designed to develop and transform the sustainable forestry sector in sub-Saharan Africa.

The partnership builds "on each organization's existing commitments to responsible forestry, bringing together the expertise of CDC, Finnfund and Norfund in investing for development in Africa, with the track record of New Forests in investment and climate finance in forestry in new geographic and market segments”. It now aims to raise up to $500 million over the next three to five years in the fight against climate change. ‎ The aim is to increase the sustainability of timber production and improve forestry and landscape management practices, a key factor in combating climate change and creating positive outcomes for nature in the region.
