The Ministry of Economy, Planning and Land Planning of Cameroon (MINEPAT) and CAFI launched two Calls for Expressions of Interest to all relevant implementing organisations concerned, representing a maximum of 60 million US$. 

These calls focus on selecting the best implementing partners for pre-identified projects in the first phase of the partnership between CAFI and Cameroon, including:

1) A Coordination Project with Sectoral Ministries, with the objective of reinforcing intersectoral coordination structures and capacities (AMI-2023/02/CMR)

2) A set of integrated projects (AMI-2023/02/CMR), encompassing:

•  an Integrated Landscape Management Project for Grand Mbam
• a Capacity Building Broject in land use planning
• a Support Project for the Development fund for the Cocoa and Coffee Sectors (FODECC)

The starting phase of the partnership between Cameroon and CAFI marks the beginning of a process of progressive long-term commitment. In their cooperation, the partners intend to seek a proportional and progressive increase in funding, actions and the achievement of milestones/results over time, which is why it is expected that project funding will continue during subsequent phases of the partnership depending on the making of reinforced political commitments or the demonstration of convincing results.

The implementing organisations chosen through this call for expressions of interest will be instrumental in consolidating this partnership through coordination with government and local stakeholders, as well as project design and development. that will ensure the success of the partnership in the long term.
