The US American International Conservation Caucus Foundation (ICCF) is making preparations to host a Forum in Washington D.C on the role of the United States in the Congo Basin Forest Partnership (CBFP) will take place on September 29th 2009.

Coinciding with the opening of the U.N. General Assembly and the Corporate Council on Africa (CCA) U.S.-Africa Business Summit, the Forum aims to reenergize U.S. Congressional and Administration support for the CBFP. The Forum will bring together Heads of State and/or Senior Ministerial Representatives of CBFP’s member countries in Central Africa, Washington Ambassadors of CBFP donor countries, U.S. government officials, and representatives of multilateral agencies to discuss the overall progress of the CBFP and to present a vision for the U.S. engagement in the partnership for the future.

The Forum receives financial and organizational support from WWF, Wildlife Conservation Society, Conservation International and African Wildlife Foundation, all members to CBFP and to the CARPE consortium. For further information please check ICCF's website.
