On 5 June 2018, CNVP Macedonia signed a memorandum for cooperation in forest certification with the Public Enterprise Macedonian Forests (PEMF) and Macedonia’s Nature Conservation Programme (NCP). (Nature conservation is supported financially by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), coordinated by Farmahem.)

The memorandum defines the mutual cooperation of the three organisations in conducting pilot certification according to the standards of the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) in a forest management unit in Pehcevo.

The pilot project will be implemented until the end of 2018.
