The national Platform for the Sustainable Management of ForestS (PGDF) was created in 2008 and is comprised of nearly sixty organisations in the Republic of Congo. Member organisations work on a variety of issues that range from natural resource management and environmental protection to the promotion of human and indigenous people's rights. The platform’s main purpose is to coordinate civil society engagement in political processes to ensure good forest governance and respect of forest communities’ rights.
We have been working closely with the platform since 2012 on their organisation development priorities. Our work in 2015 has focused on the platform’s strategy, structure and ways of functioning. As a result of our support, there is a stronger link between the departments and the national level and members are actively contributing to the work of the platform.
By maintaining its focus on its core objective, keeping realistic in its ambitions and its demands on its members and continuing to be accountable to those members, the platform will continue to have a significant impact.
