FLEGT in the Central African Republic

In October 2009, the Central African Republic (CAR) and the EU launched VPA negotiations with the aim of signing an agreement within 12 months. As improvements in forest governance largely depend on how local civil society is engaged in the process, negotiations aim to provide the space for participation. Unfortunately, the ambitious speed of the negotiations has made local civil society worry about the quality of their inputs and so of the agreement.
