The global Forests4Future project, commissioned by the BMZ, aims to ensure that state and private actors contribute to national and international objectives of forest landscape restoration, poverty reduction and sustainable rural development, as well as good governance in the sector forest. From 2022, the new Cameroon country module has started to implement activities. The objective of the module is to support forest landscape restoration measures as a contribution to forest conservation and the restoration of forests and forest-rich landscapes. In collaboration with partners, the module includes topics such as land use planning, co-management for sustainable forest management, restoration of savannahs and degraded forests, including sustainable pastoralism, income-generating measures (e.g. example via sustainable value chains) for local producer and user groups, and adaptation to climate change. With different actors, the project supports a holistic, cross-sectoral approach by closely exchanging with the advisory unit in Bonn and the ProFEC anchor project on the ground, involving municipal and state partners such as the ministries of forestry, environment , land use planning as well as the private sector. The project works close to its beneficiaries in the landscape around the Yoko Communal Forest, which includes the municipalities of Yoko and Nanga-Eboko.
