DRYAD: Financing Sustainable community forest enterprises in Cameroon

Dryad is a system to provide financial support, training and technical assistance to sustainable Community Forestry Enterprises (CFEs) via a network of locally based Implementing Organizations (IOs).Although Dryad does not make investments like a bank or private asset manager, the system nevertheless seeks a “return” on its commitment of public capital. This “return” is not measured in money, but rather, by indicators showing the fulfillment of important social, commercial and environmental objectives.
