The process runs in two mandatory stages: every applicant first submits a concise concept note using APFNet's own template, and only those shortlisted from that sโ€ฆ

Covers four pillars: field work like forest landscape restoration, climate-smart solutions, and digital forestry (AI, drones, remote sensing); training and institutional capacity building; policy dialogue on transboundary forest governance and national climate/biodiversity strategies; and regional knowledge-sharing.
