Known as FORAFAMA or “Support for Sustainable Management of Forests in the Congo and Brazilian Amazon Basins,” the project gathered knowledge on the link between forest management and climate change in Central Africa and the Amazonia. It supported pilot projects in logging concessions and strengthened the positions of States and forest communities in future discussions on the implementation of the REDD+ process. REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) is an effort to create financial value for the carbon stored in forests.
