Welcome to the Congo Basin Forest Partnership
About the partnership
The Congo Forest Basin Partnership has been launched at the Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in 2002. As a type II partnership (non-binding) it is based on a voluntary agreement between governments, the private sector, civil society and development organisations.
Today, the partnership comprises about 40 members working together for a common objective:
• Implementing the roadmap approved at the WSSD for promoting the development, sustainable management and conservation of the forest ecosystems of the Central Africa region.
• Supporting the implementation of the Yaoundé Déclaration, set up by Central Africa's Head of States in March 1999. The Yaoundé Declaration confirms their governments firm committment to engage in politics and actions favouring the conservation and sustainable management of the region's forest ecosystems.
