Assimilation and Dissemination of the Elements of the FLEGT Action Plan by Gabonese Civil Society: Mid-term Review

An important technical working session was held on Friday, December 6, 2013.

The objective of this meeting was to review the level of implementation of this project. At the opening of the proceedings, the Head of Brainforest's Forest Governance Programme recalled the context and objectives of the project. This address was followed by the presentation of a series of reports on the progress made in assimilating FLEGT tools by the partners, and on the progress of ongoing activities by the project coordination team. Subsequently, international partner FERN shared observations on project coordination, followed by recommendations on the remaining activities.

The work carried out during this meeting allowed participants to take stock of the project through a thorough review of the achievements of each partner across the various project components. They also identified the challenges to be addressed during the final 5 months of this project's implementation. Emphasis was also placed on the schedule of activities, which was updated with the establishment of a breakdown of roles and responsibilities for each party.

The session was brought to a close with training on communication techniques delivered by the Brainforest communications team.
