The Regional Centre of Excellence (RcoE) for Biodiversity, Forests and Seascape Ecosystems Management in Eastern and Southern Africa seeks to furnish member countries with evidence-based data that will guide their response to pressing environmental conservation and climate change challenges. This new centre, which is based in Nairobi, was established by CIFOR-ICRAF in collaboration with the Regional Centre for Mapping of Resources for Development (RCMRD), with funds from the European Union (EU) and support from regional governments.
