context

Since January 2020, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) has commissioned a new project “Forests4Future (F4F)”. The project supports the implementation of Madagascar, Ethiopia, Côte d’Ivoire, Benin and Togo’s commitments to AFR100 (African Forest Landscape Restoration Initiative). The African Forest Landscape Restoration Initiative (AFR100) is a country-led effort to restore 100 million hectares of land and forests in Africa by 2030.

In Cameroon, the global F4F project, in close collaboration with GIZ ProFE, supports the government in its efforts to restore degraded forest landscapes and supports the design and implementation of forest landscape restoration (FLR) strategies and activities. In this context, the F4F project concentrates its efforts in the communes of Yoko and Nanga-Eboko, central region.

The main aim of the project is to rehabilitate the ecological and productive functions of degraded forest ecosystems. In this context, F4F also aims to set up mixed agroforestry systems and develop value chains linked to FLR. This project will revolve around three fields of action, namely:

– 1) Operational capacities are improved to strengthen governance structures that ensure local and inter-communal planning for the implementation of FLR measures around the Communal forests of Yoko and Nanga-Eboko;

– 2) Local communities and producers implement FLR measures, based on land use plans, around the communal forests of Yoko and Nanga-Eboko;

– 3) Alternative sources of household income, within the framework of FLR measures, are developed and improved in the peripheral zone of the Communal forests of Yoko and Nanga-Eboko.
