A high-level event to launch the Central African Forest Initiative (CAFI) partnership is being hosted by the UN Development Programme (UNDP), Norway, and partners, and will feature the signature of the Joint Declaration on CAFI. The region has a unique opportunity to create country-specific development pathways which avoid deforestation, and accelerate progress to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through conservation and the sustainable use of natural resources. Central African countries that have developed investment frameworks which incentivize sustainable development and address the drivers of forest degradation, deforestation, and poverty, can use CAFI to request and coordinate international support.
