The generalization of certifications <strong>FSC\/PAFC<\/strong> in Gabon and the entry into force of <strong>EUDR<\/strong> (geolocated traceability, due diligence) redefine the rules of the game between <strong>Economics, Markets &amp; Legality<\/strong>. The <strong>Nkok SEZ<\/strong> illustrates industrial integration, local value creation, and the export of processed products. In this context, the transition to a bioeconomy (construction wood, energy wood, bio-based chemistry) imposes sustainability, performance, and professionalization, from the logging site to the workshop, to the design office and port platforms.<\/p>\n<p>The method <strong>UNIVGA<\/strong> is 100% online, asynchronous, with a recommended pace of. <strong>5\u20138 hours\/week<\/strong>It relies on real case studies from African companies and sites, practical work from <strong>volume calculations<\/strong> (FAO, Algan\/Schaeffer), optimization of <strong>sawing plans<\/strong>, modeling. <strong>Cadwork\/Revit<\/strong> and of <strong>Eurocode 5 sizing<\/strong>The pedagogical architecture is strictly aligned with the <strong>COMIFAC \/ OIBT \/ National plans standards<\/strong> and mobilizes the FSC, PEFC, OIBT, FCBA, CTBA, ATIBT reference frameworks to ensure compliance and employability.
