Testimonials from former CAFI Fellows
Pascale Mvoto Akono (Cameroon), 2023 Fellow who facilitated coordination and policy dialogue between the CAFI Secretariat and its partners, notably donors, sums up CAFI in a few words: “An investment fund, sustainable partnerships and measurable results”.
For Chadrack Kafuti (DRC), a 2024 Fellow supporting the Fund's monitoring-evaluation and PSE, notably with his cartographic expertise, “The CAFI fellowship program is an excellent opportunity to apply talents in tackling practical problems where they are desperately required”
Finally, for Marceline Sondi Kizika (DRC), 2024 Fellow supporting risk management, delivery chains and monitoring development and biodiversity impacts: “The fellowship at CAFI allowed me to understand the expectations of both donors and governments for the preservation of the Central African forest.
