A reference copy of the Community Forest Management Agreement (CFMA) signed between the People of Garwin Community Forest and the Forestry Development Authority (FDA) of Liberia. It was signed on 22 February 2017. This copy is only eight pages long, but there is also a ten-page unsigned copy. It has a duration of 15 years and is located in Doedain District, Rivercess County. It is adjacent to three other community forests: District 3B&C (Grand Bassa County), Gbi (Nimba County) and Central Morweh (Rivercess County).
It is designated a commercial community forest, and challenges regarding the relationship between the community and logging companies have been documented:
- 29 November 2016: Corrupt Practices in Liberia Could Mar Community Forestry Benefits (republished on 1 December 2016), both published prior to the issuance of this CFMA.
- 10 October 2018: Power to the People?
