Synopsis (short abstract) The Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) are collaborating on a new 5-year project: Global Transformation of Forests for People and Climate: a focus on West Africa. The project is key to the rolling out of the ECOWAS Convergence Plan for the Sustainable Management and Use of Forest Ecosystems in West Africa, which aims to mobilize political, institutional, financial and technical support to address transboundary forest issues across ECOWAS’s 15 member states. The project’s objective is to strengthen decision-making on forests and land management across West Africa by improving knowledge of forest dynamics, supporting legal reform, and demonstrating and sharing the best community-based forest practices across the region. It is expected that sharing lessons learned and best practice will take place within the region as well as globally.

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.

Community-based forestry for forests, people and climate in West Africa
Status and the ways forward
2025

Also available in:

No results found.

Community engagement in forest management and restoration, as well as in climate action, has been increasingly recognized and implemented in West Africa over the past four decades. Significant progress has been made in terms of policy frameworks, capacity development, and local community empowerment. Despite the considerable attention paid to community-based forestry since the 1980s, there is still no major initiative to regularly report on the status and progress of CBF in the subregion. This policy paper attempts to fill this gap by taking stock of progress in West Africa.
