Official launch workshop for the Management Plan of the Tiapleu Agro-Forest

On Tuesday 19 May 2026, the conference room of Danané Town Hall hosted the official launch workshop for the baseline assessment and the preparation of the Management Plan for the Tiapleu Agro-Forest.

This strategic meeting brought together administrative and forestry authorities, representatives of local communities, technical partners and all the stakeholders involved in the sustainable management of forest resources in Côte d’Ivoire.

The discussions were an opportunity to restate the major issues at stake: the preservation of forest ecosystems, the restoration of degraded landscapes and the development of sustainable agroforestry that generates value and economic opportunity for local people.

A strategic multi-stakeholder meeting

On this occasion, the THANRY Group restated its commitment to the responsible management of forest resources and to the development of the « Restore Our Future » carbon project in the Tiapleu Agro-Forest, which is being developed under the Verra VCS Programme using methodology VM0047. The Ministry of Water and Forests set out the direction of national forestry policy, while the Prefecture of Danané underlined the benefits expected for local development.

At the heart of the technical presentations

The technical presentations laid the groundwork for the Management Plan and clarified its scope. Three strands structured the discussions:

A participatory form of governance

A discussion session with traditional authorities and neighbouring communities gathered essential recommendations, in order to strengthen community support and promote a genuinely participatory governance of the project.

A step towards sustainable management

Through this initiative, EWOOD PGM restates its ambition to contribute actively to the restoration of forest landscapes, to the promotion of sustainable agroforestry and to the development of a responsible carbon economy that creates value for present and future generations.

The management project for the Tiapleu Agro-Forest is therefore a major step towards the sustainable management of forest resources, reconciling conservation, local development and the fight against climate change.
