About the Organization

The International Centre for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF), also known as World Agroforestry, is a center of scientific excellence focusing on harnessing the benefits of trees for both people and the environment. Key objectives include ensuring food security and environmental sustainability, while addressing issues tied to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) like eradicating hunger, reducing poverty, promoting clean energy, and protecting life on land.

ICRAF’s work is funded by governments, private foundations, international organizations, and regional development banks. The TOFI program is funded by USAID. ICRAF operates globally, conducting research in 33 countries, with six regional programs, headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya.

About the Proposal

CIFOR-ICRAF is spearheading the implementation of the Trees Outside Forests in India (TOFI) program.
