TBI coordinates several projects funded through the NUFFIC-NPT programme, all directed to the institutional strengthening of national organizations. The NPT is a programme of South–North cooperation which helps developing countries to strengthen their institutional capacity for providing post-secondary education and training.

The NPT projects offer an excellent opportunity to realise TBI’s institutional strengthening goals. Each NPT project is directed at one of TBI’s key partners and addresses key values for TBI:

• recognizing the complexity of forest related issues;
• responding to the needs of stakeholder;
• involving stakeholders;
• making use of traditional knowledge.

Projects:

1. Institutional strengthening of the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (Ghana)
2. Institutional strengthening of SENA (Colombia)
3. Institutional strengthening of Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Amazonia
