Forest policy and governance
Chatham House forest policy assessments are based on indicators that measure a country's response to illegal logging and related trade. Explore how forest governance has changed over time in Cameroon.
The Cameroonian government has set up control units at national and local levels to combat illegal logging although their impact is still weak due to corruption and poor accountability mechanisms. However, improvements in forest monitoring by civil society have led to greater responsiveness from the government and an increase in control activities.
