  1. CARPE Regional Inception WorkshopYaounde, February 07-09, 2007 General Objectives, Working Methodology and Expected Outputs By Kenneth ANGU ANGU Program Manager, CARPE Program

  2. Major objectives will be to: • clarify the relationships, responsibilities and activities of each of the CARPE partners (landscape consortia, US Federal Agencies, WRI, IUCN) in order to improve collaboration within the CARPE program; • this will help individual partners explain to host governments, other stakeholders and their own staff the expected outputs of the CARPE program.

  3. present the reformed CARPE program in the context of the US Government efforts to reform foreign assistance and how this affects the expected/planned CARPE results, targets and achievements; • Familiarise participants with the changes and modifications in the CARPE reporting system in order to meet these new overarching requirements;

  4. explain to CARPE partners the new role of IUCN in the next phase of CARPE; • Coordinating role; • Specific roles of the CARPE Focal Points, the CARPE Country Teams; and • how the CARPE Small Grants program is expected to advance CARPE objectives in good natural resources governance.

  5. The workshop objective will be attained through a combination of presentations from USAID/CARPE and other workshop participants and discussion sessions following presentations; • These discussion sessions will be directed in order to come up with tangible outputs in the form of suggestions and recommendations for specific activities and inter-institutional collaborations.

  6. A series of parallel working groups will be formed on key thematic areas related to landscape natural resource management and policy advocacy in order to come up with recommendations; • These groups will present the results of their work for feedback from the plenary sessions and a concrete output will be produced in the form of a list of key recommendations.

  7. An additional component of the workshop will consist of the presentation of case studies of the actual implementation of land use planning in selected landscapes; • These will help provide common understanding of the landscape planning process and how to use the landscape planning guides and macro zone planning guides; • These case studies will also be used to focus discussion on the key challenges and solutions to implementing land use planning and needed backstopping from the US Forest Service.

  8. A final theme to be discussed involves the production of the next State of the Forest Report; • This involves two key questions. The first is a review, discussion and list of recommendations concerning strategies for harmonization of data collection for the next SOF; • The second involves making proposals for topics for the SOF as well as a timeline for accomplishing key needed activities and recommendations for assigning responsibilities.

  9. An important side activity on Saturday morning is a field visit to a participatory indigenous tree domestication project that focuses on improving farmer livelihoods; • This activity is an example of CARPE’s emphasis on a people-centered approach to conservation via the promotion of alternative livelihoods that reduce environmental threats.
