Jun 17, 2010. /Lesprom Network/. A conference on Forest Management according to FSC standards in Mozambique will take place on 6 July 2010 in Maputo, Mozambique, FSC said in a statement received by Lesprom Network. The conference is the first step towards the establishment of an FSC National Office (NO) in Mozambique and the development of a national standard for FSC forest certification in the African country. This project delivers on Goal 5 of the FSC Global Strategy – to strengthen the FSC Global Network – by testing how well founded FSC offices from the North can support capacity-building of sister organizations in the South. FSC Denmark is supporting FSC Mozambique in establishing AGREF - Association for Responsible Forestry in Mozambique (Associação pela Gestão Resposável das Florestas em Moçambique) with funding from the Danish Government. AGREF aims to promote and enhance responsible forestry in Mozambique through FSC certification and will become the FSC NO in the country.
