Paris 22 October 2024, the United Nations Office for Project Services Congo Democratic Multi Country Office (UNOPS CDMCO), has officially joined the 133 members of the Congo Basin Forest Partnership (CBFP). UNOPS CDMCO has submitted their application and consented to the CBFP members’ cooperation framework in promoting sustainable management of forest ecosystems in Central Africa.
UNOPS CDMCO is a branch of the United Nations Office for Project Services, dedicated to implementing projects that contribute to sustainable development in 15 countries (including Cameroon, Central African Republic, DRC, Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon in the Congo Basin).
The organization has a significant track record in providing infrastructure, procurement, and project management services in challenging environments. In recent years, UNOPS has expanded its focus to include environmental sustainability, particularly within the Central African region.
In alignment with this strategic direction, UNOPS CDMCO has initiated several projects funded by the Central African Forest Initiative (CAFI). These projects aim to promote sustainable management of forest ecosystems, biodiversity conservation, and climate change mitigation, while supporting local communities' livelihoods. Its involvement with CAFI underscores Its commitment to addressing the drivers of deforestation and fostering sustainable development in Central Africa.
UNOPS CDMCO believe that membership in the CBFP will greatly enhance its ability to collaborate with other stakeholders dedicated to the conservation of the Congo Basin forests. UNOPS is eager to contribute to the Partnership's mission by sharing its expertise, resources, and lessons learned from its ongoing projects. Furthermore, UNOPS CDMCO is committed to participating actively in the CBFP's structures, including the annual Meetings of Parties and the relevant CBFP Colleges.
The Co-Facilitation of the French and Gabonese Republics of the Congo Basin Forest Partnership (CBFP) is very pleased to welcome the United Nations Office for Project Services Congo Democratic Multi Country Office (UNOPS CDMCO) as a new member of the CBFP.
Welcome to our 134 Partner!
