Forest Governance Forum - Monrovia - May 1st & 2nd

www.forestgovernanceforum.com

How can forest resources be managed in the interests of all stakeholders? How can Forest Governance be strengthened to deliver results that make economic, social and ecological sense?

Comprising of West African events (Ghana & Liberia) and Central African events (DRC & Cameroon), Forest Governance Forum is designed to create an in-country space for discussion and exchange of ideas, experience and research.

Blending regional and global speakers and participants from Government, Civil Society, Trade & Industry, the NGO Community and the Academic World, the objective is to bring debates surrounding Forest Governance to four key African countries in order to widen participation, to facilitate more national voices in the conversation, and to situate issues within a local and international context.

Inspired by Biannual Illegal Logging Stakeholder Conferences at Chatham House in London, The Forest Governance Forum contributes to the broader objective of an EC-funded project, ‘Strengthening African Forest Governance’ , which also includes academic and training components.
