The Central Africa Forest Ecosystems Conservation (CAFEC) project supports the management of targeted forest landscapes as the foundation for building low carbon- emissions economies with a reliance on land-based activities and natural resources. It also works to mitigate threats to biodiversity in these landscapes.

CAFEC will build local and national capacity to implement land use management plans designed to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and conserve biodiversity based on participatory and inclusive approaches that engage key stakeholder groups.

To achieve this, CAFEC focuses on two key objectives to meet the goal of maintaining the ecological integrity of the humid forest ecosystem of the Congo Basin.
