BookletProgramme / project reportEvaluation of the project "Chile REDD-plus results-based payments for the results period 2014–2016"
Mid-term report. Project code: GCP/CHI/048/GCF
2025Also available in:
This mid-term evaluation of the "REDD+ Payments for Results in Chile for the Period 2014-2016" project concludes that the project is progressing adequately toward its objectives, with some adjustments and a longer implementation period. The project highlights the strength of its governance models and adaptive management as key elements for its effectiveness. Regarding challenges, it highlights the need to simplify procedures and protocols in the areas of safeguards and monitoring, reporting, and verification, as well as the strengthening of technical capacities. At the territorial level, there is growing awareness of sustainable forest management, although the costs associated with implementing the Benefit Sharing System were higher than expected. The project faces tensions between conservation and livelihoods, and there is room to move toward more transformative approaches, consolidating and articulating good practices in the areas of safeguards, cross-cutting approaches, and strategies for generating socioeconomic co-benefits. The evaluation recommendations include extending the project's timeframe, adjusting targets, promoting integrated approaches, and strengthening monitoring and reporting systems.

DocumentOther documentPractical guidance for peatland restoration monitoring in Indonesia
A remote sensing approach using FAO-SEPAL platform
2021Also available in:
This technical document is intended to give an overview of the use of several remote sensing tools produced by FAO for peatland restoration monitoring in Indonesia. At the core of these tools is the Soil Moisture Mapping (SMM) module in the FAO System for Earth Observation Data Access, Processing and Analysis for Land Monitoring (SEPAL). The Soil Moisture Mapping module was first created using available free, global satellite datasets and meteorological observations to retrieve soil moisture worldwide based on the algorithms developed by Greifeneder et al. 20191. To interpret the soil moisture mapping results, this report shows step-by-step followed methodologies for: the selection of available field data for validation; the study of land cover physical properties in the Indonesian landscape that have an influence on the correct interpretation of the product; and detecting, characterizing, and monitoring land cover change within time series (BFAST). The aim is to provide practical guidance to perform peatland monitoring analysis and strengthen capacities of practitioners and institutions in charge of peatland management, monitoring and reporting with the help of tools on SEPAL. This builds on the report “Peatland mapping and monitoring: recommendations and technical overview” (FAO, 2020). The guidance focuses on the description step by step of FAO peatland monitoring tools, showing its advantages and limitations. It also contains summaries of peatland ecology and condition for its assessment with remote sensing products. This document offers recommendations to interpret the results and integrate them into national monitoring frameworks. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
Book (series)Technical studyForty years of community-based forestry 2016
Also available in:
Since the 1970s and 1980s, community-based forestry has grown in popularity, based on the concept that local communities, when granted sufficient property rights over local forest commons, can organize autonomously and develop local institutions to regulate the use of natural resources and manage them sustainably. Over time, various forms of community-based forestry have evolved in different countries, but all have at their heart the notion of some level of participation by smallholders and comm unity groups in planning and implementation. This publication is FAO’s first comprehensive look at the impact of community-based forestry since previous reviews in 1991 and 2001. It considers both collaborative regimes (forestry practised on land with formal communal tenure requiring collective action) and smallholder forestry (on land that is generally privately owned). The publication examines the extent of community-based forestry globally and regionally and assesses its effectiveness in del ivering on key biophysical and socioeconomic outcomes, i.e. moving towards sustainable forest management and improving local livelihoods. The report is targeted at policy-makers, practitioners, researchers, communities and civil society.
