Institutions summary

The Ministry of Environment and Nature Protection (MINEP) is coordinating the overall REDD process in Cameroon through its Ecological Monitoring Unit (CMSE). Several national institutions and a few Cameroonian civil society organisations such as the Centre for Environment and Development (CED) are involved in REDD+ in Cameroon, but very few are effectively trained and involved at governmental level. Otherwise the remainder of REDD actors in Cameroon are mainly international organizations including large conservation NGOs, bilateral and multilateral donors, and research institutes and think tanks. Many of the international institutions working on REDD in Cameroon are involved through subnational projects, through research initiatives and through their support of REDD activities.
