The Mobilising Finance for Forests programme officially launched in February 2021. It is funded with a £200 million commitment from the UK government. The Netherlands' Ministry of Foreign Affairs joined MFF as a second funder in 2024 with a $33.5 million commitment. FMO was selected as the delivery partner, and with blended finance, will mobilize private capital to combat deforestation and other environmentally unsustainable land use practices that are contributing to global climate change. By deploying direct and indirect investments, the programme aims to create value from standing forests and from innovative business models that incorporate forest protection and restoration.

The total hectares of forest under management, farmland under sustainable management and jobs supported are achievements reported by the companies and funds within the MFF portfolio.
