The paper then examines CIFOR contributions to the international forest-related agenda through its influence on policy documents. Two broad, and partially overlapping, policy impact pathways are examined: 1.) research influence on organisations responsible for major financial flows to forest-related development assistance; 2.) research influence on the key organisations that help shape the global forest agenda. Evidence of CIFOR influence on important international policy actors and policy processes is drawn from bibliographic analysis (citations, acknowledgements and author contributions) of the 309 important forest-related policy documents examined. The findings highlight the success that CIFOR has achieved in shaping the views and actions of influential organisations and actors at the international level, including the World Bank, Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) and Convention on Biodiversity (CBD).
