FAO has been supporting Central African countries to identify and implement policy measures to improve food and nutritional security and alleviate poverty by promoting the sustainable management of non-wood forest products for more than one decade. The projects – funded by The German Government through the Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection, the European Union, the African Development Bank and the Congo Basin Forest Fund and implemented by FAO under the supervision of COMIFAC – ran from 2005 to 2016. Their main objectives included enhancing food and nutritional security by promoting enabling policy, legislative and institutional frameworks to enable equitable access of local people to resources and markets for NWFPs. This publication summarizes the key findings from these projects.
