Synopsis (short abstract) This forest data assessment was conducted as part of the five-year Global Transformation of Forests for People and Climate: a focus on West Africa project, funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida). This document aims to provide quality data to support decision-making and sustainable management of forest and land resources at both national and subregional levels. It also seeks to develop processes that could be replicated in other subregions within Africa and outside the region. This document is one of the outputs of the project and provides information on existing forest data in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) countries, critical information gaps on forest condition and land use and land cover dynamics, and capacity development needs.

    Forest assessment and monitoring 2002
    Also available in:
    The Global Forest Resources Assessment 2000 (FRA 2000) is now completed, but work has already begun on the next global assessment. The expert consultation "Global Forest Resources Assessments - Linking National and International Efforts", known as Kotka IV, brought together international experts in July 2002 to address future concepts and strategies. The articles in this issue of Unasylva are adapted for a wider audience from papers prepared for the meeting. Without going into technical detail, they explore links among assessment and monitoring, national and international information needs, criteria and indicators for sustainable forest management, and reporting of forest-related information to international instruments. The technical details can be found on the FAO Web site (www.fao.org/forestry) and will be published in the Kotka IV proceedings.

    Assessment of drivers of deforestation and forest degradation in West Africa

    This report presents the methodology and main findings of an assessment conducted between 2015 and 2020 to identify the primary drivers of deforestation and forest degradation in West Africa. Developed under the project “Global Transformation of Forests for People and Climate,” this assessment supports regional forest governance by providing robust, participatory, and data-driven insights.Combining a systematic literature review with spatial analysis using high-resolution satellite imagery and open-source tools such as SEPAL and Collect Earth, the methodology enabled the identification of changes in land use and forest cover across 64 000 sample plots. National experts from West African countries contributed to the prioritization and interpretation of drivers, ensuring local relevance and ownership.The results reveal that small-scale agriculture, logging, and fire are the predominant drivers of forest change, often occurring in combination within the same plot. These findings highlight the complexity of deforestation and degradation processes and underscore the need for integrated responses. The study also maps the spatial distribution of drivers across countries and provides recommendations for national adaptation of the methodology, policy integration, and community engagement.This assessment offers a replicable framework for understanding forest loss in West Africa and sets the stage for more targeted, science-based forest monitoring and management at both national and regional levels.
