Sustainable Forestry (Africa)
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what steps he is taking to promote sustainable forestry in Africa.
- Answer
-
Poor governance and weak law enforcement hinder the achievement of sustainable forestry in Africa. Earlier this year we committed £11 million over the next four years to the Forest Governance Support Programme in Cameroon. In addition we committed £12 million over the next five years in support of Partnership Agreements with African countries under the European Union’s Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) Action Plan.
