Reforestation, community forestry & carbon project developers
As a reforestation, community forestry or carbon project developer, you restore forest cover and generate certified carbon credits.
Definition in the architecture : Carbon-credit producers and reforestation project managers
What you do
- Design and implement reforestation, agroforestry and restoration projects
- Measure, document and certify emission reductions and carbon sequestration
- Produce and market carbon credits and other ecosystem services
- Support communities and producers in the sustainable management of plantations
- Ensure long-term monitoring, reporting and verification of projects
You provide ecosystem services within the forestry and agricultural value chains. You receive land, seedlings and commitment from communities, farmers and landowners, together with support from nurseries and certification bodies. You deliver carbon credits and measurable results to buyers, companies and investors, and additional income to communities. You secure the restoration of forest cover, and you unlock for agro-industrial value chains an answer to sustainability and zero-deforestation requirements.
Where are you found?Across the whole country depending on the type of project: restoration and agroforestry in the cocoa basins of the Centre, South, Littoral and South-West; community forestry in the forest zone of the East and South; reforestation and anti-desertification work in Adamawa, the North and Far North.
Why your business matters in Cameroon and Central Africa
Cameroon has substantial potential for forest restoration and carbon sequestration, from the Congo Basin to the savannahs of the North. Reforestation and community forestry projects create rural jobs, protect soils and watersheds and strengthen the resilience of farms. Carbon markets offer new funding for these actions, provided that measurement is rigorous, benefits are shared fairly and land tenure is secure. For the cocoa, coffee, timber and palm oil value chains, these projects become a tool for EUDR compliance and a commercial argument with international buyers.
The headings that project promoters, partners and institutions look at first. Fill them in with your real orders of magnitude: this is what makes your profile usable.
- Secure land tenure and community buy-in for the entire duration of the project
- Reach credit buyers and investors looking for credible, well-documented projects
- Guarantee rigorous measurement and certification to underpin the value of credits
- Integrate carbon projects into the cocoa, coffee and timber value chains subject to the EUDR
- Share benefits fairly to sustain local commitment over the long term
What the directory brings to your organisation
Your project becomes visible to farmers, communities, agro-industrial companies and credit buyers looking for identified carbon partners.
You receive partnership proposals from cooperatives, exporters and investors committed to sustainable supply chains.
You take your place in the forestry and agro-industrial ecosystem of Cameroon and the Congo Basin, oriented towards CEMAC and export markets.
Your listing in three steps
The directory is not a mere listing: each profile is positioned within the architecture (sub-domain, actor, value chain), checked by XP-NOVA, then published. You keep control of your profile after publication.
- The form
You enter your organisation, your position in the architecture — pre-filled from this page —, your value chains, your area of operation and your contact details. Your profile is created as pending and you receive your access.
Start my registration - Verification by XP-NOVA
The XP-NOVA team reviews your profile: consistency of the position in the architecture, reality of the declared activity, completeness of the information. If there is a reservation, the reason is sent to you and you can complete.
- Validation and publication
Once validated, your profile is published in the directory available to members, under your actor code. You update it from your area: contact details, logo, capacities, description.

The XP-NOVA offers that match you, step by step
Each offer carries its code and unfolds into the elementary services of the catalogue. The project only moves forward once the milestone is reached — start at the step you are at.
44 referenced risks, rated and tied to a control plan. These are the families of the register that touch your activity — rating your project is the object of the resilience assessment, the condition of the step 4 milestone of the cycle.
