About the Navigator
The Legality Due Diligence Navigator is a methodology developed by the European Forest Institute (EFI), in cooperation with Preferred by Nature, to guide the development of legality due diligence tools under the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). Initially applied to cocoa in Côte d’Ivoire, Cameroon and Ghana (2024–2025), and later to cocoa, coffee and palm oil in Latin America, it supports stakeholders in identifying, analysing and verifying compliance with national legal requirements.
