Resume Les missions de suivi-evaluation de la gestion forestiere mettent a contribution de nombreux outils parmi lesquels les manuels et guides de procedure. Le succes des missions d’evaluation est donc etroitement lie a la qualite meme de ces outils, dont certains semblent pour le moins controverses. C’est dans un contexte de polemiques, autour de l’objectivite du processus de suivi-evaluation de la gestion des forets camerounaises, qu’a ete conduite cette etude. Elle s’interesse aux ecarts de conception dans les principaux outils de suivi-evaluation de la gestion des forets du Cameroun. Pour cela, des manuels et guides usuels de portee nationale, sous-regionale, et Internationale ont ete confrontes a l’aide du Test de Student d’une part, et des analyses de proportions d’autre part. Les comparaisons concernaient les aspects organisationnels des demarches, et la repartition generale des differents parametres au suivi-evaluation des composantes environnementales. Il en ressort que: Sur le plan du test de Student, independamment des criteres de comparaisons retenus, le manuel propose par le MINFOF (Ministere des Forets et de la Faune) n’a pas ete significativement different des autres manuels (MINEPDED (Ministere de l’Environnement, de la Protection de la Nature et du Developpement Durable), OIBT (Organisation Internationale des Bois Tropicaux) /OAB et FSC (Forestry Stewardship Council)). Toutefois, sur le plan quantitatif, les analyses ont revele des disparites plus ou moins importantes de proportion d’affectation. Ainsi, la confrontation des parametres d’organisation generale des demarches (Structuration, methodologie, suivi-evaluation de la legalite) a revele des d’ecarts moyens de 17,44 a 35,07% entre la demarche du MINFOF et respectivement celle de l’OIBT/OAB, de la FSC et du MINEPDED. Les plus fortes disparites organisationnelles concernaient principalement les elements methodologiques et le suivi-evaluation de la legalite. Les proportions de parametres affectes au suivi-evaluation de la gestion des composantes environnementales (abiotiques, biotiques et sociales) ont egalement presente des disparites de l’ordre de 1,59% a plus de 46%. Au terme de ces differentes analyses, un systeme integre et pondere de suivi-evaluation a ete suggere, comme contribution a l’amoindrissement des ecarts observes entre les divers outils de gestion forestiere au Cameroun. Abstract The monitoring and evaluation missions of forest management usually need the contribution of many tools including manuals and procedural guides. The success of assessment missions would be closely linked to the quality of these tools, in which some seem at least controversial. It is in a context of controversy around the objectivity of the monitoring and evaluation process of forest management in Cameroon, that this study has been conducted. It was principally interested in conception differences between the main monitoring and evaluation tools of Cameroonian forests management. For this, the national, sub regional and International usual manuals and guides were confronted, help by the Student Test, and analysis of proportions. Comparisons concerned organizational aspects, and the distribution of different parameters used for monitoring and evaluation. It emerged that: In term of Student Test, independently of selected criteria comparisons, the manual proposed by the MINFOF was not significantly different from others manuals and guides (MINEPDED, ITTO (International Timber Tree Organization)/ ATO and FSC). However, quantitatively, the analyzes revealed disparities more or less important. Thus, the comparison of monitoring and evaluation parameters of procedure organization (structuring, methodology, monitoring and evaluation of the legality) revealed average differences of 17.44 to 35.07% between MINFOF approach and respectively that of the ITTO / ATO, FSC and MINEPDED. The greatest organizational disparities were mainly observed in methodological parameters and the proportion of parameters allocated to monitor and evaluate legality. The proportions of parameters allocated to monitoring and evaluation of environmental (Abiotic, biotic and socials) components management, also showed disparities from 1.59% to more than 24.51%. Following these analyzes, an integrated and weighted monitoring and evaluation system was suggested, as contribution to lessen differences observed between the various tools of forest management in Cameroon.
