Central African Forest Initiative (CAFI) was launched during the 2015 United Nations General Assembly in New York[1] as a collaborative partnership between a coalition of willing donors (The European Union, Germany, Norway, France and the United Kingdom), six Central African partner countries (Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of Cameroon, the Republic of Congo [fr], the Republic of Equatorial Guinea and the Republic of Gabon), and Brazil as South-South partner.[2]
CAFI's goals are to "recognize and preserve the value of the forests in the region to mitigate climate change, reduce poverty, and contribute to sustainable development". These goals will be attained through the implementation of country-led, national scale, holistic reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) and low emissions development national investment frameworks (NIFs) which will include policy reforms and other tangible measures to address the drivers of deforestation and forest degradation and promote sustainable development.
The rationale for establishing CAFI is that while Central Africa is home to the second-largest tropical rainforest in the world, after the Amazon Basin, ongoing efforts have not prevented forest loss.[3] The land use and forestry sector is by far the main contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the region. International investments in REDD+ are not currently at the required scale to affect the necessary change, and donor support in the region has been traditionally fragmented.
