Enhancing Collaboration for Effective Landscape Planning in Central Africa
This document outlines key roles and responsibilities within a consortium formed for effective landscape planning in Central Africa. It addresses the need for Terms of Reference (ToR) for the landscape leader and non-lead consortium members, emphasizing by-laws for conflict resolution. The planning team faces challenges in integrating CARPE landscape planning into the COMIFAC process and national Land Use Planning initiatives. Recommendations include revising ToR for inclusivity, linking processes through national coordinators, and lobbying for support to strengthen national coordination efforts.

Three levels of collaboration • Consortium • Planning Team • Service Providers/Cross-cutters
Consortium Question/Problem: Role/Responsibility of Consortium leader • Need for ToR for Landscape Leader and for ToR for non-lead Consortium members • By-laws including conflict resolution hierarchy • Durability of different structures
Planning Team Problem: • How to integrate CARPE landscape planning into the Plan de Convergence/COMIFAC process? • How to integrate and harmonize CARPE landscape planning into different national LUP initiatives? • Who should participate/who should head planning team?
Recommendations:COMIFAC • Revise ToR of National Coordination to be more inclusive of landscape planning process, stated inclusion in Plan de Convergence • Member of CARPE country team • Link LUP processes to COMIFAC via National Coordinators • Lobby for recognition of landscape planning process (e.g. pilot sites for nat’l level “macro-zonage” processes)
Recommendations (continued) • Lobby for support expansion/renforcement of national level COMIFAC coordination from other partners (French or upcoming german facilitation?)
