Synopsis (short abstract) Recent demographic, social, economic and institutional changes have aggravated the food supplies and distribution problems of African cities, all of which will be doubling their current population in less than twenty years. Very few initiatives have been taken to improve the performance of food supply and distribution systems (FSDS) to cities and minimise the cost at which good quality food products reach the urban consumers' tables. For this reason, FAO and the Senegalese Institute for Agricult ural Research (ISRA) organised in Dakar, Senegal, in April 1997, a sub-regional seminar

    Tackling forest crime in West Africa
    Training of trainers curriculum
    2025
    Also available in:
    This publication presents a comprehensive training of trainers curriculum designed to strengthen the capacity of forestry enforcement officers in West Africa to effectively combat forest crime. Developed under the regional project “Global Transformation of Forests for People and Climate: A Focus on West Africa”, the curriculum addresses key challenges identified in seven West African countries through legal assessments, stakeholder interviews, and literature reviews.Structured into four core modules, the curriculum covers: (1) an overview of forest crimes and their socioeconomic and environmental impacts; (2) the role of international legal frameworks, with a focus on the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES); (3) investigative techniques and evidence gathering; and (4) transboundary cooperation and lessons learned from regional implementation.The curriculum emphasizes participatory learning and includes case studies, exercises, and discussion prompts to encourage engagement and contextual adaptation. It integrates the use of innovative forest monitoring tools and provides guidance on aligning national legislation with international obligations. Trainers are equipped to tailor content to local realities, facilitate interactive sessions, and promote institutional coordination among enforcement bodies.This resource aims to foster more consistent, informed, and cooperative responses to forest crime in West Africa, contributing to stronger legal frameworks, improved governance, and the protection of forest ecosystems and communities dependent on them.
