The rural masses in the Mbam Division of the Central Province are now taking mushroom cultivation as an economic activity which is seen to be spreading, (Okotiko, 2008) 2.2.4.4 THE BETTER WORLD ORGANISATION This was set up in 1996 on the principles of training for employment and sustainable development. Their program on Urban Agriculture is aimed at Improvement of productivity Protect the environment Save biodiversity Their future plans involve: - agro-forestry, protection of endangered species, energy for conservation practices and capacity building especially the rural communities. 2.3 PROGRESS IN IMPLEMENTING PRIORITY ACTIVITIES 2.3.1 PROGRESS ON PRIORITY ACTIONS Priority actions aimed at the implementation of the NBSAP have been outlined in Table 41. The measure of achievements has not been properly studied and therefore accurate scores are not known. It will summarize whether the objectives in the six ecosystems have been attained. Field actions or policies will be mentioned where possible. The Progress of Priority Actions is found in NBSAP document. Table 41: Concrete Results of Priority Actions and Activities Ecosystem Main Objectives Priority Actions Degree Of Achievements 1. Marine and Coastal 2. Tropical Dense Forest 3. Tropical Wooded Savanna 4. Semi Arid 5. Montane 6. Fresh Water 6 4 4 4 4 6 38 37 35 41 34 41 No information “ “ “ “ “ TOTAL 28 226 Table 41 shows that the degree of achievement of the 226 “Priority Actions” expected to be undertaken in the six ecosystems is not known. This is because the Monitoring System recommended in the NBSAP has not been applied. The common action in all ecosystems is “To Promote Biodiversity Prospection”. This is being achieved on a number of biodiversity components – plants, animals, insects, birds, fishes, micro-organisms as is evidenced in new discoveries of plants and insects (see Table 44). A total of 139 indicators and 131 means of verification have been programmed in the monitoring system, (Table 33). 2.3.2 CONCRETE RESULTS ACHIEVED Information on “Results Achieved” has been contributions from various stakeholders in biodiversity with a variety of executors in the various domains as seen in the column of executing partners. Their contributions have been the current information received from field observations and reports from their field monitors. 54
2.4 FUNDING DEDICATED TO PRIORITY ACTIVITIES 2.4.1 DOMESTIC FUNDING: Domestic funding can be seen through: - Government activities through various ministries which are: MINFOF, MINFOP, MINADER, MINEPIA, MINREST. - Private Enterprises on Biodiversity - Agriculture - Logging enterprises - Fishing companies - Grazers - Hunting - Agro-industrial Groups : CDC, HEVECAM, PAMOL, SOCAPALM. - Research Bodies - Plant Pathology - Universities - Education programmes on Biodiversity - Training on Biotechnology - Discoveries on new species - Findings in micro-biology 2.5 PROGRESS IN THE CBD IMPLEMENTATION The implementation and the monitoring of the CBD activities in Cameroon has been an important consideration to Cameroon’s resources management priorities. Biodiversity stake-holders have been collaborating with Government institutions to ensure the effective implementation of the CBD in Cameroon. Bokwe (2000) in a survey of the implementation rate of the CBD in Cameroon found that considerable effort was deployed by Government and civil society in implementing the CBD in Cameroon. This was achieved through the revised policies, the legal framework and the remodeling biodiversity- related institutions. After Cameroon ratified the CBD in 1994, - Laws in some biodiversity domain (forestry, fishery, wildlife and environment) were revised - The Ministry of Environment and Forestry was created - Strategic Action Plans were put up In the area of biosafety, Mbantenkhu (2007) shows in a comprehensive report, that Cameroon is implementing the Cartagena Protocol as required. The important area in CBD implementation appear in Section 2.5.1. 55
