Synopsis (short abstract) Ghana’s commitment to sustainable forest management and climate action has been further strengthened through the assessment of needs and gaps. The application of the national forest monitoring system (NFMS) assessment tool has been instrumental in this process. Developed by the Forest Monitoring and Data Platforms team of the Food and Agriculture Organizationof the United Nations (FAO), this comprehensive tool enables the assessment of NFMS capacities and needs, helping Ghana prioritize actions that align with both national objectives and international climate commitments. Developed under the project “Building global capacity to increase transparency in the forest sector” (CBIT-Forest), funded by the Capacity-Building Initiative for Transparency (CBIT) Trust Fund of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the “Accelerating Innovative Monitoring for Forests” (AIM4Forests) programme, funded by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

L’engagement du Ghana en faveur de la gestion durable des forêts et de l’action climatique a été renforcé par l’évaluation des besoins et des lacunes qui peuvent exister. L’application de l’outil d’évaluation du système national de suivi des forêts (SNSF) a joué un rôle déterminant dans ce processus. Développé par l’équipe de l’Organisation des Nations Unies pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture de la plateforme chargée du suivi et des données sur les forêts, cet outil complet permet d’évaluer les capacités et les besoins du SNSF, aidant ainsi le Ghana à prioriser les actions qui correspondent à la fois aux objectifs nationaux et aux engagements internationaux en matière de climat.Développé dans le cadre du projet «Renforcer les capacités mondiales pour accroître la transparence dans le secteur forestier», financé par le Fonds fiduciaire de l’Initiative de renforcement des capacités pour la transparence du Fonds mondial pour l’environnement, et le programme «Accélérer le suivi innovant des forêts» (AIM4Forests), financé par le Ministère de la sécurité énergétique et Net Zero du Royaume-Uni de Grande-Bretagne et d’Irlande du Nord.
