Abstract: SUMMARY Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) play a significant role in the funding and implementation of social forestry projects in developing nations, although it is difficult to quantify the scale of afforestation, the number of NGOs involved, and the funds which they commit to such projects. A preliminary list is given of international NGOs and NGOs based in the OECD nations which are involved in or supportive of forestry or forestry-related activities. It is recommended that far more publicity should be given to the need for afforestation in order to encourage NGOs to expand their activities in this field. There should be greater coordination between NGOs, governments and inter-governmental organizations, and closer links between NGOs themselves. Steps should also be taken to strengthen the technical capabilities of NGOs in forestry.
