Project/activity information

The proposal was developed as an output of Pre-project PPD 24/01 (F) "Development of National Criteria and Indicators for Sustainable Forest Management in the Congo based on the ITTO Criteria and Indicators", which has been completed. The project aims at assessing and promoting SFM in Congolese forests. It intends to develop a set of national Criteria and Indicators adapted to Congo’s specific conditions based on ITTO’s C&I, in order to assess the progress towards SFM at both the national and forest management unit levels.

Major expected outputs are:
- Set of Criteria and Indicators adapted to Congo’s specific conditions developed and validated;
- National internal auditing system for SFM formulated and established; and
- National expertise on SFM auditing procedures developed through training.
