WHERE Cameroon
Summary
Despite Cameroon’s commitment to sustainable forest management, there is a lack of capacity to monitor and audit the sector within The Ministry of Forestry (MINFOF) and assessments show that forestry companies are non-compliant with legal requirements which protect biodiversity. This project will analyse forestry compliance with environmental and social requirements. MINFOF staff will be trained on these requirements and better forestry sector auditing, and empowered to run a train-the-trainer approach to strengthen the sustainability of operations in Cameroonian production forests.
