Program coordination

Form international

The Congo Basin Program's implementation is coordinated by Form international, a Dutch consultancy firm specialised in sustainable forest management and certification since 1993. Form has extensive experience in West- and Central Africa with supporting front running companies in the process towards legality and FSC certification of their forest concessions, developing forest management plans, and providing Reduced Impact Logging training courses. In addition, Form international provides technical advice to Form Ghana concerning plantation management. 

 

Director Paul Hol: 'Form is proud to be coordinator of  this excellent program and will bring in their long term expertise with sustainable forest management in the region. Form’s expert team is highly committed to realise the goals of this program together with all partners involved.'

Partners

  • ‘ROUGIER Group is strongly committed to the process of certification of good forest management. As this process is long and mobilizes many resources both human and financial, a program such as IDH is very useful to support companies like ROUGIER in helping them to achieve this certification. That's why we decided to become the first partner in this program.’

  • ‘By becoming a partner of the Congo Basin Program, Corà Wood Gabon shows its firm commitment to continuously improving its forest harvesting practices with a clear objective to reach the performance level as required by the principles and criteria of the FSC standard for sustainable forestry before the end of 2015.’
