Discussions focused on NFI design, implementation, and data analysis, as well as innovative tools such as remote sensing and digital reporting methods.The event also paved the way for building a regional network to foster long-term cooperation and harmonisation of forest monitoring methodologies across the Asia-Pacific region.

Communication and visibility guidelines for FAO’s Green Climate Fund-financed projects 2021

Also available in:

No results found.

Information sharing is key to collective climate action. For the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), communication activities are an integral part of Green Climate Fund (GCF)-financed funding proposals. Climate investments are critical to both mitigating the effects of climate change as well as building the resilience of vulnerable people and communities to its impacts. Carefully planned communication strategies built into funding proposal activities will not only raise project visibility, but will also support the overarching goals of FAO and GCF. The communication and visibility plan is an integral component of the main project document; therefore, these guidelines should be used to help define the project’s communication activities as well as corresponding budget allocations, which are to be presented at the inception workshop. In essence, these guidelines are intended to support the development and execution of communication plans throughout project stages, from the inception workshop to project completion, and from identifying key objectives to measuring impact.
