Details:

This SRM came at a key moment in the forest law reform process in Cameroon. The proposed new forest law will reform Cameroon’s 1994 forest code. The draft forest law has already been produced by the Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife (MINFOF) and is now being reviewed by the Prime Ministry, the last step before it reaches the Presidency and is finally sent to Parliament for ratification. RRI directly supported Partner CED and the NCTC in reviving and completing the process of adoption and promulgation of the new forest law through the influence of Traditional Chiefs who interact directly with high‐level decision-makers at the national level in Cameroon. CSOs are no longer in a position to formally influence the reform process at this level of decision-making.
