What École nationale forestière d'ingénieurs does

École Nationale Forestière d'Ingénieurs (ENFI) is a public Moroccan engineering school founded on December 2, 1968 in Salé under the Ministry of Agriculture, Maritime Fisheries, Rural Development, Water and Forests (MAPMDREF), originally established with the support of the United Nations Special Fund and FAO. It delivers a 6-year Ingénieur des Eaux et Forêts (State Engineer of Waters and Forests) program structured across three 2-year cycles, covering foundational sciences, general forestry, and specialization in six options: Forest Planning, Ecology and Natural Resource Management, Forest Product Valorization, Forest Economics, National Park Management, and Natural Resource Geomatics. Mandatory military training was introduced in 1992, conferring graduates the rank of Reserve Officer.

The school trains the vast majority of engineers for the Moroccan Department of Waters and Forests and has graduated 49+ cohorts since 1970. Approximately 30–40 students are admitted per cohort, with a 10-place annual quota reserved for foreign students admitted via the Moroccan Agency for International Cooperation (AMCI). ENFI conducts applied research across biodiversity, sylviculture, ecosystem management, soil conservation, desertification control, agroforestry, and natural resource geomatics, with doctoral theses co-supervised through CEDoc of IAV Hassan II as part of a consortium with IAV Hassan II, ENAM, and INRA.

ENFI operates as a SEGMA (Service de l'Etat Géré de Manière Autonome) since 2007, a semi-autonomous state service that receives government funding and is habilitated to conduct studies and research for public administrations and private parties. It maintains international research collaborations with institutions in France, Spain, and Belgium, is a member of the TSARA initiative (32 member institutions), and is a longstanding FAO partner. No proprietary technology platform, API, or commercial product line is disclosed; pricing is governed by Moroccan public education regulations and is not publicly disclosed.
