Greetings to the contributors before me. For the first point my view are in line with that of Mr Dosse of Togo are applied to cameroon. The forest issues are cross cutting and result can only be gotten in not short term but strategies from lesson learned from other initiatives can play a big rule is absence of given force to the law. Most of the communities are usually not aware of project, even with urge amount set they can meet MDGs specifications at the local level, since most policies are set without prior lessons learned or consultation in Cameroon. For quite the 1994 forestry ‘common compass’ which is under revision for close 6 years is still be published.
Associated problems for mangrove in Cameroon equally include:
Low integration of local communities living in mangrove areas in the local development planning framework.
Lack of coherent integrated planning for economic development, sustainable use and conservation.
Lack of tangible information and dialogue amongst stakeholders.
Lack of capacity to scale-up community-based approaches to sustainable use and management.
Legal and policy reform. There is currently no legal and policy framework that would facilitate the management of the mangrove special ecosystem
Lack of alternative economic development opportunities other than fisheries, fish smoking and harvesting of mangrove resources.
