Home Council & committees

ITTO's governing body is the International Tropical Timber Council, which comprises all the Organization's members; it meets once a year to develop forest-related policies and approve and finance field-level projects.

The Council is assisted by four committees: the Committee on Economics, Statistics and Markets, the Committee on Reforestation and Forest Management, the Committee on Forest Industry and the Committee on Finance and Administration. Usually, these committees convene during sessions of the Council.
