Conference calls for more support for forestry training in Congo Basin

Participants at the International Conference on Forestry Training: Addressing the Challenges of Training for Sustainably Managing the Congo Basin Forests, which ended on 7 March 2018, have called on ITTO and the international community to provide ongoing technical and financial support to improve facilities, equipment, materials, training and capacity building for forestry training in the Congo Basin subregion.
 
Among other things, participants adopted new training modules on sustainable forest management, one targeted at university students and the other directed at field technicians in forestry. The conference called for support for the uptake of the training modules by all training institutions in the subregion.
