When RRI was launched in 2005, its leadership developed a case for support outlining what the Initiative hoped to achieve during the first five years of its existence and how it would fulfill those ambitious goals. That Framework Proposal was successful in attracting sufficient resources to RRI to make possible the implementation of a significant part of that original concept.2012 was the final year in that first Framework Proposal period. This year, RRI was charged with implementing a full year of actions geared toward advancing forest tenure reform globally, as well as finalizing an ambitious strategic assessment process that, while affirming many of the key concepts in the original case for support, also challenged the Initiative to explore some very significant changes.
