Support for Forest and Environmental Sector Programme (PSFE)
Since 1999, with the support of the international community, the Cameroonian government has embarked on a process of setting up a national forestry program called the Forestry and Environment Sector Program (PSFE) to implement its policy aiming at sustainable and participatory management of the country's forest and wildlife resources. The Basket Fund (BF) is a flexible mechanism for funding the strategic programs of the Ministière des Forêts et de la Faune MINFOF and Ministère de l'Environnement, de la Protection de la Nature et du Développement Durable MINEPDED. KfW's contribution to this fund became active in October 2011 and covers the following programs:
Program 1: Forest resource management and renewal.
Program 2: Securing and enhancing wildlife resources and protected areas.
Program 3: Development of wood and non-wood forest resources.
Program 4: Sub-sector steering, institutional management and governance.
Program 5: Environmental management of forest activities and climate protection
Program 6: Preparation of regional planning and sustainable development plans for the North and South-West Regions.
Program 7: Restoration of forest landscapes in the North and Far North regions of Cameroon.
