Implementation

 The PAPFor programme in the Nimba Mountains Landscape is implemented by UNOPS, with a field team based in Nzérékoré.
Agreements with the agencies in charge of Protected Areas in each of the three countries have been established to ensure optimal ownership.

In order to ensure better results, the PAPFor programme in the Nimba Mountains, implemented by the United Nations Operations and Services Agency (UNOPS), does not act in isolation. Rather it aims to create synergies. The programme works with the following institutions: CEGENS, OIPR, FDA-CMC.

FDA-CMC (Forestry Development Authority - Co-Management Committee): Legislation and management of the forest estate and Protected Areas
OIPR (Ivorian Office of Parks and Reserves): Management of the network of Protected Areas, including the Monts Nimba integral reserve in Côte d’Ivoire
CEGENS (Centre for the Management of the Environment of the Nimba Mountains and Simandou): PBiodiversity protection, management of the Integral Reserve in Guinea

The programme also interacts with other regional programmes such as WABILED (USAID), FFI (Fauna and Flora International), institutions such as IREB (Institut de recherche environnemental de Bossou), the private sector including SMFG (Société des mines de fer de la Guinée), the NGO GRET and civil society organisations.
