The Stakeholder Toolkit, updated in March 2023 by the Forest Declaration Assessment, is a guide that compiles resources, reports, and organizational networks to support forest governance and sustainability. It categorizes tools and entities based on their relevance to national governments, local governments, and other stakeholders such as NGOs and research institutions.

• The toolkit lists several specialized guides for forest governance, including the FACT Roadmap (2021) which focuses on four themes: market development, support for smallholders, traceability and transparency, and research, development and innovation.
• The document identifies specific resources for addressing social intersections in forest governance, notably a PROFOR list of 15 tools regarding the intersection of forest governance with poverty and gender-based issues, with tools 4, 6, 12, and 13 specifically designed for those with little familiarity with gender analysis.
• The toolkit highlights the 'State of Jurisdictional Sustainability: Synthesis for Practitioners and Policy Makers (2018)', which synthesizes sustainability data across 39 subnational tropical jurisdictions to evaluate progress and identify barriers.
• The guide identifies key international organizations and networks, such as the Global Environmental Facility (GEF), which operates the Sustainable Forest Management Impact Program for fragile biomes like the Amazon and Congo Basin, and the FOLUR program involving 27 countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
• The toolkit references the Governors' Climate and Forests Task Force, a collaboration of 39 subnational entities aimed at protecting tropical forests and reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation.
