Gbarsaw & Dorbor Third Party Agreement with AWLC 2019
A reference copy of the Third Party Agreement (TPA) signed between Gbarsaw & Dorbor Community Forest Management Body, on behalf of the people of Gbarsaw & Dorbor Community Forest, and Africa Wood and Lumber Company (AWLC). It is dated 25 January 2019 and, usually, it has a duration of just five years, after which TPAs can be renegotiated / converted into Commercial Use Contracts.
Various challenges regarding the community and companies have been documented:
- 26 February 2022: After Failing Locals in Large Concessions, Italian Tycoon Lets Community Forests Down
- 5 July 2022: Another Company Illegally Cuts 550 Logs in River Cess
- 19 March 2023: Company Abandons Contract, Leaving Debts and Logs In Bassa
- (undated): River Cess the Latest Flashpoint in Clashing Laws over Land
In 2024 the communities of Gbarsaw and Dorbor each obtained their Customary Land Deeds that codify their outright ownership of their respective lands.
