DocumentMid-term Evaluation of the Project “Strengthening the Environment, Forestry and Climate Change Capacities of the Ministry of Environment and Forests and its Agencies”
Project Evaluation - Main report
2017Also available in:
No results found.Bangladesh is highly susceptible to a range of annually reoccurring natural events such as flooding, water logging, cyclones, land erosion and droughts that, when combined with the low economic and resiliency levels of the population, contribute to a high number of acute onset emergencies and a range of chronic and complex emergencies. Compounding this, Bangladesh is more susceptible to the effects of climate change than any other country in the world. As investments for climate resilience grow in Bangladesh, there is a need to foster cross-sectoral planning and coordination, and to ensure coherence amongst the large number of climate-change and environment-related investments in the country. To this end, FAO has supported the government of Bangladesh in developing the first ever country investment plan for the environment, forestry and climate change sectors, with funding from USAID from 2013 to 2018. The mid-term evaluation of this project found that the creation of a country investment plan was highly relevant; however, the evaluation found that the timeframe for the project had been overly ambitious, and that more time, or indeed a second phase of the project would be needed to ensure sustainability of the results achieved. Furthermore, to enable meaningful cross-sectoral collaboration, the evaluation noted that the project should focus on building relations with other relevant ministries outside the Ministry of Environment and Forests. Given the need for further support and to ensure a fully operational country investment plan is in place, the evaluation suggested possible focus areas for a potential second phase of the project. -

DocumentForest Monitoring and Assessment for Climate Change Reporting: Partnerships, Capacity Building and Delivery 2007
Also available in:
No results found.This working paper was prepared in light of the upcoming Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC in December 2007 to inform about the status and ongoing efforts in the field of forest monitoring, assessment and reporting at national and international levels. Part I is a review of partnerships between FAO and countries for building capacity and supporting implementation of forest monitoring, assessment and reporting, to meet requirements at national and international levels. At national level, FA O works with countries to establish long-term and robust monitoring systems, based on systematic field sampling and data collection. At international level, FAO supports countries to report to the Global Forest Resources Assessments, which is the leading global reporting process on forests, their management and use. Part II presents basic requirements for national forest monitoring systems, seen from a broader policy context. It reviews the current status in countries with respect to two variabl es that are important for climate change reporting – forest area changes and forest carbon stock. It is concluded that in most developing countries the quality of current forest monitoring would not be satisfactory for an accounting system of carbon credits. However, it is also suggested that investment in national forest monitoring is attracting greater interest, as exemplified by the increasing number of countries requesting support from FAO. FAO continues to work in close collaboration with i ts member countries to improve forest monitoring, assessment and reporting, including helping them to meet requirements for forest carbon reporting.
