The Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF) is made up of Contributing Participants who provide financial support to the FCPF's two funds and REDD Country Participants who receive funding and implement activities. Together, these participants make up the decision-making body of the FCPF, the Participants Assembly (PA) and the Participants Committee (PC).

• The Participants Assembly, which is comprised of all the countries and organizations participating in the FCPF, meets annually and elects the Participants Committee.
• The Participants Committee is made up of an equal number of forest (REDD+) countries (14) and financial contributors (14), and is also comprised of observers representing indigenous peoples, civil society, international organizations, the UN-REDD Programme, the UNFCCC Secretariat and the private sector. The Committee, which meets twice a year, is the main decision-making body of the FCPF. It reviews country submissions, decides on grant resource allocation, approves budgets inter alia.

• Contributors to the Readiness Fund are known as Donor Participants.
• Contributors to the Carbon Fund are known as Carbon Fund Participants.
• Developing countries participating in the FCPF (both funds) are known as REDD Country Participants.
