The Ministry of Environmentand Forests gave way to the two successor Ministries establishedby Decree number 2004/320 on 8 December 2004: the Ministry of Forestsand Fauna (MINFOF) and the Ministry of Environment and Protectionof Nature.The new forestry policy is an important component of the NationalEnvironment Management Plan. It also falls in line with the agriculturalpolicy. The 1994 Law to lay down Forestry, Wildlife and Fisheries Regulationsand the 1996 Law to institute the Framework Law relating to themanagement of the Environment, establish a policy and strategy frameworkthat centers on the following aspects:• Sustainable management of forests, with the creation of a permanentforest estate and the setting up of Forest Management Units (FMUs)to replace forest permits.• Contribution to economic growth and poverty alleviation by cedingpart of the income from tax revenue to councils, creating jobs andallocating community forests.• Participatory management through consultation with the civil societyand the private sector, sensitisation of rural populations abouttheir responsibilities, and permanent dialogue with the internationalcommunity.• Conservation of biodiversity through a national network of protectedareas.• Building the capacity of the public sector in the performance of itstraditional key functions and the transfer of productive functions tothe private sector.• Putting in place a legal framework conducive to the development of theprivate sector, based on long-term conventions and industrialisation.• Harmonisation of the regional management system through a zoningplan.• Improvement of governance through increased transparency and systematicdissemination of information to the public.Besides, this policy is given greater momentum by government guidelinesthat lay emphasis on Delivered new policy by The World challenges Bank e-library such to: as poverty alleviation,The World Bankdecentralization and good governance.

2005 Forest and Environment Sector Policy Letter 153cially on the fight against poaching and overall streamlining of the sector.The Emergency Action Plan itself has been integrated into the Forest andEnvironment Sector Programme (FESP).2. Cameroon’s commitments at regional and international levelsDuring the Central African Heads of State Summit in March 1999, Cameroonreaffirmed its national and sub-regional commitment to ensuresustainable management of the forest ecosystems of the Congo Basin.Concerted management of sub-regional forest resources decided uponby Heads of State in the Yaoundé Declaration of 17 March 1999 thusreceived the backing of the international community through resolutionNo. 54/214 of the United Nations. The Convergence Plan that resultedthereof and was approved by the Conference of Ministers in Charge ofForests in Central Africa (COMIFAC), was adopted at the last Headsof State Conference of the Central African Forestry Commission on5 February 2005 in Brazzaville. This Plan is a compilation of the NationalSpecific Programs of signatory States, which should contribute to theattainment of convergent objectives that translate into reality the resolutionsof the Yaoundé Declaration of March 1999. Cameroon’s FESP,which is the Convergence Plan implementation program at nationallevel, will strive to be the national response to COMIFAC programs.Cameroon’s commitment to ensure sustainable management of naturalresources at the international level has been translated in the signingof several regional and international conventions on forest and biodiversity.These conventions include the following:• The Agreement to set up the Lake Chad Basin Commission (1964)• The Convention on the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources(Algiers, 1968)• The Convention on the Protection of Cultural and Natural Heritage(Paris, November 1972)• The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species(CITES – Washington, March 1973)• The African Timber Organisation (ATO – Bangui, 1974)• The Agreement on the Joint Management of Flora in the Lake ChadBasin (Enugu, December Delivered by 1977) The World Bank e-library to:The World Bank• The International Agreement IP : 192.86.100.34 on Tropical Timber (Vienna, 1983)• The Central African Cooperation Mon, 09 Nov 2009 Agreement 17:06:18 on Wildlife Conservation(Libreville, April 1983)(c) The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development / The World Bank
