		Capacity development/ Policy advice Multi-stakeholder policy dialogues on forestry and environmental education in Central Africa Adequately educated professionals are crucial to the sustainable management of forests but for individual countries it is difficult to meet the various needs. COMIFAC provides the opportunity to join efforts and benefit from the broad offer. RIFFEAC (Réseau des Institutions de Formation Forestière et Environnementale d’Afrique centrale) in partnership with the German GIZ GmbH works towards a respective policy framework on forestry and environmental education to ensure the required standards. From 2010 on, ECO has supported the partnership’s activities through a cascade of multi-stakeholder policy dialogues.
