The Forest Investment Program (FIP) is a targeted program of the Strategic Climate Fund (SCF), which is one of two funds within the framework of the Climate Investment Funds (CIF). 

The FIP supports developing countries’ efforts  to reduce deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) and promotes sustainable forest management that leads to emission reductions and the protection of carbon reservoirs. It achieves this by providing scaled-up financing to developing countries for readiness reforms and public and private investments, identified through national REDD readiness or equivalent strategies.

The FIP Sub-Committee approved the following countries to become pilots under FIP, including Indonesia, Brazil, Burkino Faso, Ghana, Laos, Mexico and Peru.
