The objective of the operation is to improve the business climate for sustainable forest investments and, hence, an increased contribution of the forestry sector to the socio economic development of the region's countries. The specific objectives are: (i) to license and transfer the IAIF and PROMECIF methodologies to the consulting firms; (ii) to collect primary and recent secondary data; (iii) to compute the 2004 IAIF for LAC countries; and (iv) to design, and assist in the pilot implementation of PROMECIF to improve the forest sector business investment climate (hence, the index performance) for Guatemala and Paraguay
