> The EU-funded ASB modelling project in Cameroon is funded up to the end of
> November 2003. The EU contract requires that we deliver working models of
three
> villages in the humid forest benchmark area, plus an attempt at
extrapolating
> model results to the whole of the benchmark. I have almost
> completed the first "real" village model, for Awae, which has the smallest
> population and simplest land tenure system amongst the three study
villages. I
> now expect this model to be completed by the end of January. Collection of
field
> data for Akok village is essentially complete, and it may be possible to
> complete the Akok model by early April. The third village, Nkometou, has
the
> largest population and the most complex mix of land-use. Field work in
this
> village is still a long way from complete. I plan to assign a second
full-time
> technician there from the beginning of January, so field data collection
could
> be completed by the end of March.

by

project,

and

the

departure in

or
