158 Appendix 6to CFAF 10 billion of external funding in the forest-environment sectoralone, to which should be added the national counterpart funds.2. Enhancement of popular participation in the management offorest and wildlife resourcesIn spite of the prescriptions of the current forestry policy that recommendsthe participation of the population in the conservation and management offorest resources, such participation remains limited. This is due especially tothe unclear definition of the roles of the civil society and the local communities,which do not have adequate skills and organisational capacity neededfor proper management of the redistributed resources, the weak technicalmanagement capacity of NGOs and the great distrust between them andthe forestry administration, the difficulties for economic operators to movefrom the stage of “logger” to the stage of management forester.3. Securing a significant share of forest revenues for communitydevelopmentDuring the period from 2000 to 2004, over CFAF 25 billion was distributedto councils and local governments as their share of the royalty fromthe acreage under exploitation for commercial purposes. An audit andother studies were also carried out on the use of almost all of the saidfunds. In spite of these positive developments, much is still to be doneto allow for more transparent and participatory planning of investmentsand more efficient control of expenditure.4. Stepping up the fight against poaching and illegal exploitation ofnatural resourcesThe ability of the Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife to carry out controls,follow up offences and mete out sanctions is still relatively limited. In spiteof the involvement of an independent observer in the control activitiesof the Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife, performances are still moderate.Only greater organisation of all the phases of the control chain by the Ministryof Forestry and Wildlife may ensure lasting results and make it possibleto build on the contributions of the independent observer, especiallyby publishing the record of offences and informing the public about thelitigations between the Ministry and forest sector economic operators.Delivered by The World Bank e-library to:The World Bank5.

It is therefore necessary to ensure rigorousapplication of environmental management plans, especially in someforest management units situated near protected areas where environmentalassessments are a key precondition. Besides, it will be necessaryto strengthen and step up the operational abilities of the institution incharge of the environment and of advisory bodies such as the NationalAdvisory Committee on the Environment and Sustainable Development(CNCEEDD).6. Protected areas—National parksA network of protected areas has been developed especially over thelast fifteen years, thanks to the Biodiversity Conservation and ManagementProgramme in Cameroon (PCGBC). Wildlife protected areas cover7 211 819 hectares representing 15.1 percent of national territory.This surface area is distributed as follows: 10 National parks; 10 Wildlifereserves; 1 Wildlife sanctuary; 3 Zoological gardens; 40 Huntingzones; 16 community-based hunting zones which have been placed atthe disposal of village communities. The technical and financial managementof community-based zones is the responsibility of the populationswho may, if they so desire, seek the technical assistance of the staff of theMinistry of Forestry and Wildlife.Besides, a method of assessing efficient management of all nationalparks has been established.7. Expansion and participatory management of protected areasThe different measures taken to this effect include the following:a) Economic operators in leased hunting zones are obliged to respect thespecifications which stipulate the social projects to be carried out forthe benefit of the surrounding population.b) In addition to such social projects, communities benefit 50 percent oflease taxes which are annual and per hectare, and shared on a pro-ratabasis of 40 percent to the councils and 10 percent to communities.Cameroon also instituted rules that allow for consultation of the localpopulations both Delivered at the level by The of World creation, Bank e-library demarcation to: and managementof protected areas.
