The proposed GEF project is designed to complement the Gabon’s Forest and Environment Sector Program (PSFE), a sector wide, multi donor program led by the Ministry of Forests. The program is consisted of five components: 1) sustainable forest management including wildlife in production landscapes; 2) Fisheries and coastal zone management; 3) development of the national parks network; 4) valorization of other environmental goods and services; and 5) institutional strengthening research and training. The GEF project is designed to specifically support components 1 and 3 of the PSFE program. The IBRD loan will support component 1, 2, 4, and 5 of the PSFE. The GEF project will have its own project management and institutional arrangement with a Project Implementation Unit, separate from the IBRD loan program. |
