Summary Notes n°10 | The forest sector in countries of the Congo Basin : 20 years of AFD intervention

The intervention of French Cooperation in the Congo Basin (Central African Republic – CAR – Cameroon, Congo, and Gabon) since the early nineties has been delivered against a backdrop of rapidly changing governance. It has been fostering the sustainable management of tropical forests by anchoring its strategy on a tool known as “sustainable forest management plan (FMP)”. This tool, a 30-year logging contract, concluded between the concession holder and the State, conforms to the conservation standards of forest ecosystems (beyond regeneration of forests) as well as the social and economic aspirations of the State, local communities and concession holders.
