The Restoration Initiative (TRI) in Cameroon has successfully contributed to strengthen Cameroon’s policy commitments and improve the country’s legislative and regulatory frameworks to support forest and landscape restoration (FLR), including the Harmonized Action Plan for the Restoration of Degraded Land and Forest Landscapes in Cameroon (2020-2030) outlining activities that promote FLR and the legal decision titled “Modalities for the Circulation of Non-Timber Forest Products from Plantations,” that defined modalities for the management of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) and reinforced the processes for registering private NTFP plantations. TRI increased knowledge and awareness of government and community stakeholders regarding restoration opportunities and interventions through participatory ROAM processes reviewing existing policies that support restoration and facilitating the uptake and integration of policy recommendations.

TRI is a GEF-funded project
