From 3 to 4 July 2018, the conference hall of Le Paradis hotel’s Chalet Bantu in Kribi hosted a workshop on participatory assessment of transparency in Cameroon’s forestry and environmental sector.

Organized by the Forests and Rural Development Association (FODER) as part of the Voice of Citizens for Change Project: Forest observation in the Congo Basin, the main aim of the workshop was to enable participants to assess transparency levels in the forestry and environmental sector in general, with special emphasis on transparency in voluntary partnership agreements on enforcement of forestry legislation, governance and the trade in wood and its by-products (VPA-FLEGT) signed between Cameroon and the European Union (EU) and the agreement on reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+).

 Workshop attendees included: Representatives of sector ministries (MINFOF, MINEPDED, MINMIDT), civil society organizations, indigenous peoples, the private sector, the Network of Traditional Chiefs, the National Observatory on Climate Change and technical and financial partners.
