About Palladium
Palladium is a global company working to design, develop and deliver positive impact on the lives and livelihoods of people around the globe; broaden access to health, water, power, and infrastructure; build enduring, sustainable, and transformative institutions and market systems to address global challenges; and conserve the natural world.

Programme Context
The second phase of Partnerships for Forests (P4F) is the flagship programme in the Nature Based Capital and Climate, Environment and Natural Resources practice area at Palladium. Building on the strong foundations of P4F (which ran from 2015 to 2024), the second phase will catalyse investment into inclusive, sustainable businesses, that support growth and livelihoods, and protect and restore forests, ensuring that value flows back to forest-based communities and smallholder farmers across the tropical belt. The programme will operate in five globally important forest regions: East Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, West Africa and Central Africa, with a strengthened focus on the latter in this new phase of operations. In all regions, the programme aims to foster long-term sustainability, prosperity and resilience in local economies.
P4F will run for 5 years from 1 February 2025. Depending on performance and subject to funding, the programme may be extended for a further 5 years (up to 2035). The second phase of P4F is funded by the UK government and is one of several activities that sit within the broader Investments in Forests and Sustainable Land Use (IFSLU) Programme.
