JOB DESCRIPTION
The Forest-Environment Programme (PFE) is a bilateral project implemented by GIZ, supporting the sustainable management of forest resources in Cameroon. Through its component “development of timber and non-timber forest-products (NTFP) value chains” it aims to improve the sustainable valorisation of forest products in order to generate income and improve livelihoods.

One of the component’s objectives is the professionalisation of the networks regarding processing and marketing of NTFP.

1. Advising NTFP networks on raising quality, hygiene and safety standards in the manufacturing process in order to ensure compliance with national and international regulations
