IUCN is looking to replicate and improve the implementation of its role as facilitator for civil society and private sector involvement in other countries’ VPA negotiations. To that end, IUCN sought to learn from its experience in Cameroon and contracted The Keystone Center (TKC) to conduct an external evaluation of its role and make recommendations for improvement.
