\textbf{Abstract}
\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
Community Forestry in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is still at a very early stage. Officially, since August 2nd 2014, modalities for attributing local ``community forest concessions'' passed into law decree. February 9\textsuperscript{th} 2016, the Ministry of Environment, Nature Conservation and Sustainable Development signed a ministerial order on the management and exploitation of these concessions, completing the legal framework for the implementation of community forestry. 







Since 2011, the programme ``Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Forest Management'' of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) in collaboration with its implementation partner Deutsche Forstservice GmbH works on different pilot projects referring to forest co"=management. The most advanced one is the community forest concession Kailo in Maniema, East DRC, taking into consideration all stakeholders involved: local population, artisanal loggers and the administration. The project pursues the following objectives: to give local population a stake while ensuring sustainable resource management, the diversification of timber species, viable and regular exploitation statistics contributing to good governance and a fair distribution of revenues among all stakeholders. 







A simple management plan was elaborated in an inclusive and participatory manner and suggests four zones to be integrated: protection and conservation zone, agroforestry zone, service zone and permanent timber production zone. The permanent production zone will give permanent income to riparian communities by the sustainable exploitation of timber. Artisanal loggers, who, prior thereto, worked mainly informally, were engaged in the project and motivated to form a cooperative, holding a legal entity. In this way, communities may hand over the logging rights to the cooperative and benefits remain mutual and fair while ensuring control and monitoring by a village committee and the decentralised arm of the Congolese ministry of environment.



This pioneer model presented by the GIZ is promising and aims to be adapted and multiplied on national level.
