About fifty communicators of environmental information in Central Africa from the 15 member countries of the Congo Basin Forest Commission (Comifac) are in conclave from July 26 to 30, 2021 in Brazzaville, Congo, to refine a new communication strategy for their organization.

With a view to making the voice of the countries of Central Africa better heard in the field of the preservation of their forest and ecological ecosystems during the major summits on nature and the climate scheduled for the coming months, the network of communicators of environmental information in Central Africa, in collaboration with the German cooperation, GIZ and Comifac began on July 26, 2021, in the political capital of Congo in Brazzaville, a series of five-day reflections for the evaluation and adoption of a new communication strategy, making it possible to effectively present the real needs of the peoples and populations of the countries of the Congo Basin.

These are firstly the IUCN World Conservation Congress and Cop 15 on biodiversity to be held in Marseille, France, from September 4 to 8, 2021. This will be followed by the World Climate Symposium scheduled for November this year in Glasgow, Scotland.

The agenda of these global meetings will particularly focus on the sustainable management of Central African forests, the transversal interest in the fight against climate change and the preservation of the environment.

In view of the importance of these international agendas, the Congo Basin Forests Commission, through the contribution of its network of communicators will have to seize this global opportunity  to raise public awareness on its vision, its approach and above all, on the interests of Central African countries in the fight against climate change and the preservation of global biodiversity.

This is so that international partners can take into account the proposals of member countries of the Congo Basin based on local realities. This is thus the purpose of the Brazzaville meeting opened on July 26, by the Congolese Minister for the Environment and Sustainable Development.

To this end, it is important to stress that the Congo Basin Forests Commission is the main institution responsible for the orientation and coordination of sub-regional actions and initiatives in the sustainable management of forest ecosystems in Central Africa.

The 15 member countries are Burundi, Cameroon, Congo, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Sao-Tomé-Et-Principe, and Chad. Given the proven global expertise of this network of communicators gathered within the Receiac, the recommendations and final resolutions remain eagerly awaited.
