What does Plan Vivo do? Expand The Plan Vivo Foundation is a leading certification body that sets the minimum Standards for community and smallholder land-use and marine projects. This provides investors with assurance that these projects represent the highest quality for nature, climate and communities.
Who are the Board of Trustees (BoT)? Expand The role of the BoT is to provide strategic and financial oversight to the activities of the Plan Vivo Foundation. Whilst they are not involved in day-to-day activities, they are responsible for making management decisions in the best interests of the stakeholders. Plan Vivo always ensures that there is a public list of BoT members.
Who is the Secretariat? Expand The Secretariat manages the day-to-day running of the Plan Vivo Foundation. This includes, but is not limited to, responding to enquiries, coordinating and/or participating in review processes, developing standard documentation, and managing the flow of finances. Secretariat members vary in the workstreams that they contribute to, with some only contributing to one workstream (e.g. PV Climate) and others working across a range of workstreams. Plan Vivo always ensures that there is a public list of Secretariat members.
