The challenge of capacity and mission of ERAIFT
According to capacity building needs’ assessment, conducted by ERAIFT , it was clear that 3 areas were limited or not covered by the existing supply of training and by the current coaching for researchers : 1. Strengthening capacities for formulating, monitoring and evaluation of national policies in land use, in rural development, for Environment, for Nature Conservation and for Forestry, targeting the stakeholders responsible for developing and implementing policy in land use, in rural development, for Environment, for Nature Conservation and for Forestry;
The challenge of capacity and mission of ERAIFT
2. The implementation and supervision of action/research programs to evaluate quantitatively and qualitatively the impact of the policies on the sustainability of the environmental resources used by poor people and the effective reduction of the rural poverty; 3. Strengthening the capacity of policy makers and policy deciders ,at the national and provincial level ,as MP, local politicians , members of boards of national and regional administrations, … for formulation, monitoring and evaluation of policies on land use , rural development, environment, and forests."
•ERAIFT has developed specific programmes and tools to face these 3 challenges:
1. The management and funding of PhD students and researchers developing in DRC and partners countries of the ERAIFT, topics focused on quantitative and qualitative assessment of the impact of policies implemented in the field of land use , rural development, environment, conservation of nature and forests(22 PhD)

Development of agriculture on slash and burn coupled to a shortening of fallow
Unsustainable supply of urban fuel wood and charcoal in a context of widespread rural poverty
Main causes of deforestation and forest degradation

Incidence of rural poverty is greater than the incidence of urban poverty, especially in the most remote areas, reaching in some rural
areas 90 percent
