The GEF-Biodiversity Project was formulated in 1994 and it effectively started in 1996. After its mid-term review in 1998, the project changed in to a programme called “Cameroon Biodiversity Conservation and Management Programme”.

The Programme received funding from nine funding bodies and partners, to a total of 21.5 million US$.
