ONF Côte d’Ivoire

ONF Côte d´Ivoire is an ONFI branch, created in 2018 with the purpose of supporting the implementation of the National Forest and Wildlife Inventory project (IFFN).  Over a 2-year period, the IFFN project will perform detailed stocktaking of forest and wildlife resources in Côte d´Ivoire and provide recommendations for better resource management.
