Mid-term evaluation of the project “Sustainable forest management under the authority of Cameroonian councils”

The main objective of the project "Sustainable forest management under the authority of Cameroonian councils" is to reduce deforestation and forest degradation in council forests in order to improve biodiversity conservation, reduce emissions and enhance carbon stocks, and improve livelihoods of local communities. This objective will be achieved through empowering councils to better manage their forests by improving their technical skills and tools to implement SFM practices, assess and monitor biodiversity, restore degraded forest areas, measure and monitor carbon stocks, and promote sustainable alternative forest based livelihoods. The project has enormous potential, it should continue its efforts and focus on completing forest management plan and initiated trainings to ensure it successfully achieves its stated objectives.
