Description:
The Congo Basin Forest Partnership was launched at the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development
in Johannesburg as a non-binding partnership registered with the United Nations
Commission on Sustainable Development. As a "Type II" partnership, it represents a voluntary
multi-stakeholder initiative contributing to the implementation of an intergovernmental commitment,
i.e.
the Yaoundé Declaration, and brings together the 10 member states of the COMIFAC, donor agencies, international
organisations, NGOs, scientific institutions and representatives from the private
sector.
CBFP works in close relationship with the Central African Forests Commission (COMIFAC), the regional
body in charge of forests and environmental policy, coordination and harmonisation, with
the objective to promote the conservation and sustainable management of the Congo Basin's forest
ecosystems.
