Major projects implemented by international institutions such as the World Bank, ADB, EBRD, GEF, GCF and UNDP during 2021–2024, their financial volume, target areas and territorial coverage are highlighted. The results of the study demonstrate the effectiveness of international financial resources in restoring forest ecosystems, combating soil degradation, preserving biodiversity, adapting to climate change and providing employment to the local population. The article also presents institutional, technical and strategic proposals for developing cooperation with international financial institutions, including the Forest Investment Pipeline, donor coordination mechanisms and a multi-source financing model.
