Welcome Message
Prof. Jude Kimengsi
Dear Readers,
On behalf of the Green Forest Foundation (GREFF) Team, we wish to welcome you all to the GREFF official website. With this site, we intend to provide you – our readers and partners – with a glimpse of what GREFF stands for. The site also presents a synthesis of some of our past activities and partners, our cream of experts/consultants, and our vision for natural resource management, conflict transformation and sustainable development. GREFF is more than a decade old in service delivery at national and international levels. Consistency remains one of our core values.
We stand as a unique organization because of the extensive experience we have acquired in development-oriented consultancy, as well as in undertaking research – both fundamental and applied research.
In this site, you will navigate through two GREFF profiles: (1) The consultancy profile which emphasizes development-oriented and conservation projects, and (2) The research profile which presents our experience in fundamental and applied research. As you navigate through this site, we hope that you will be able to identify potential areas to partner with us through internship, voluntary service, and bilateral project implementation among others. We also hope that you may consider us worthy partners to deliver relevant services to your organization. We invite you to read on!
