The regional integration process in Central Africa, as part of its sectoral approach to forestry and the environment, has established an institution dedicated to the harmonisation of forestry policies in the sub-region in question: the Central African Forest Commission (COMIFAC). In carrying out this mandate, as enshrined in its founding treaty, the Commission operates within a regulatory and institutional framework. This framework is underpinned by international and sub-regional legal instruments relating to environmental law, which must be transposed into the domestic legal systems of the Member States. Among these harmonisation tools, we may cite, on the one hand, the founding texts such as the Yaoundé Declaration (March 1999) and the COMIFAC Treaty (February 2005); and, on the other hand, secondary instruments such as the Convergence Plan, the Sub-regional Agreement on Forest Monitoring, and the Sub-regional Guidelines on the Sustainable Management of Non-Timber Forest Products in Central Africa. However, these initiatives undertaken by COMIFAC and its partners face obstacles that limit their effectiveness, though these can be overcome with political will.
