    The mid-term review (MTR) report of the Accelerating Innovative Monitoring for Forests (AIM4Forests) programme was conducted at the request of the AIM4Forests steering committee and in line with the United Kingdom AIM4Forests business case. The main purpose was to provide an independent assessment of the programme’s progress and likelihood of achieving the set goals and make recommendations to enhance programme performance and address strategic issues concerning the programme scope. The MTR focused on the programme from its start in mid-2023 until December 2024 covering programme activities and results at all levels. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland have launched AIM4Forests, a five-year programme to support forest monitoring based on modern monitoring technologies and technical innovation, as well as the use of space data and remote sensing. The programme is all about leveraging technical innovation to create data and information to inform the right courses of action to reduce deforestation and restore forests. AIM4Forests will leverage everything that technology and innovation offers such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. In addition, it will also make sure that the capacity is transferred to countries, including Indigenous Peoples, and local communities who manage the forests – only that way can we see real change.

    A holistic, integrated approach is needed to tackle the systemic constraints on sustainable agriculture and food systems and value chain development. The Accelerator for Agriculture and Agro-industry Development and Innovation (3ADI+) is a global programme spearheaded by FAO and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) that seeks to generate decent employment, particularly for rural youth and women, and produce higher-value, safer and nutritious food, while combating the effects of climate change in on- and off-farm activities. A key input for generating value for smallholders is through sustainable mechanization, especially in Africa. By taking a partnership approach and drawing on private investment to ensure sustainability and scalability, the initiative aims build sustainable value chains to meet modern needs.
