Abstract
The RESSAC project has been built on the strategic guidance provided by the EU program on Global Public Goods and Challenges (GPGC - Global Public Goods and Challenges) of which a part is aimed at promoting "Sustainable management of tropical ecosystems based on knowledge". The RESSAC project will also contribute to concretizing the commitments announced by the European Commission in three other strategic and programmatic documents recently adopted.
The main objective of the project is to promote in Central African countries forest ecosystem management methods that meet the expectations of local actors, contribute sustainably to the development of national economies, and participate in global efforts to maintain global biodiversity and fight against climate change.
More specifically the Project (1) organizes and supports applied research aimed at strengthening knowledge in social sciences and ecology on the methods of management and development of natural resources in the forest ecosystems of Central Africa; and (2) promotes the use of this knowledge in the operating methods of targeted actors and in the development, implementation and monitoring of public policies and sustainable development assistance programs in Central Africa. This is done through collaboration with universities and a focus on students and post docs.
