Tropical forests: launching the Regional School on Integrated Management of Tropical Forests and Territories (ERAIFT)

    The ERAIFT school (Ecole régionale post-universitaire d'aménagement et de gestion intégrés des forêts et territoires tropicaux), located at the University of Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, was created in 1999. Each year, it trains some 30 African specialists from more than 20 countries to sustainable resource management in tropical forests.

    The highlight of the fourth session of the Academic Committee of ERAIFT was the signing of the Subvention Contract for support to the ERAIFT Project by the European Commission which falls within the Tropical Forest budget of the EC. ERAIFT now has 61 DESS graduates from ten African countries: Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Côte d'Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Republic of Congo, Republic of Guinea, Madagascar, Niger and Togo.
