Photo by NTFP-EP Philippines.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>The Strategic Partnership framework is an approach to cooperation that engages civil society organisations to collaborate as partners on themes that the Netherlands is committed to advancing globally. The Forests for a Just Future programme of the Green Livelihoods Alliance, of which IUCN NL is part, is an important example of this. The organisations participating in this programme work on the sustainable and inclusive management of tropical forests to combat deforestation, human rights violations and climate change, and to secure local livelihoods.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Importance of strong civil society<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>A strong civil society is vital for democracy and human rights. Moreover, organisations and individuals that defend the environment and human rights have an indispensable role in protecting our planet. Their knowledge and commitment are crucial for sustainable solutions, but they are often the target of violence because they oppose traditional economic interests.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maintain development aid<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>Unfortunately, in many countries around the world, the space for civil society is shrinking. Civic space is a precondition for continued resistance to anti-democratic influences and contributes to the fulfilment of human rights, international security, a fair rule of law and global stability.That is why it is so important to maintain our support at this precise moment. If we do not, who stands to benefit most are the authoritarian leaders that will use the opening to increase their power. It is therefore in everyone&#8217;s interest to protect civic space, including that of Dutch companies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>This
