USAID’s Strengthening Central Africa Environmental Monitoring and Policy Support (SCAEMPS) activity serves as a bridge between biodiversity and forest conservation work, policy issues and local, national and international stakeholders in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and the Republic of Congo (ROC).

SCAEMPS is part of CARPE’s Environmental Monitoring and Policy Support (EMAPS) project. Together with other EMAPS activities, it focuses on improving national and regional environmental policies and regulations, building the capacity of public and private institutions for forest and biodiversity conservation and augmenting the quality and scope of forest monitoring, conservation management and climate change mitigation.
