Book (stand-alone)ProceedingsGlobal forest resources assessment update 2005 - Proceedings - Sub-regional workshop for national correspondents from anglophone African countries 2004
Also available in:
No results found.The Global Forest Resources Assessment Update 2005 was specially mandated by the Committee on Forestry (COFO) during its meeting in 2003, where member countries endorsed recommendations from an Expert Consultation held in the Kotka, Finland in 2002 (Kotka IV). For this purpose, all countries have been requested to provide national reports to FAO during 2004. As in previous global assessments, FRA 2005 relies on contributions by countries and a network of National Correspondents to FRA has been e stablished. The 13th Session of the African Forestry & Wildlife Commission, which was held in Libreville in 2003, recognised that poor data quality – or a complete lack of data in some cases – was defeating efforts to come up with reliable country-level estimates. Accordingly, the Commission recommended that FAO provide assistance to countries in order to strengthen their capacities to update national inventories through technical workshops; harmonise their approaches; and to share understanding on forest terminology and methods of resources assessment. Accordingly, FAO organised a training course for national correspondents on Assessing and Monitoring Forest Land Use and Changes at FAO Headquarters in Rome, Italy, 17-21 November 2003. This has been followed by a series of regional workshops worldwide. The workshop in Accra, which was aimed primarily at English-speaking African countries, was preceded by a similar workshop in Dakar, Senegal, 20-23 July 2004, aimed at the French-speakin g countries in Africa. Seventeen NCs from 22 countries participated in this workshop hosted by the Forestry Commission in Ghana. The agenda of the workshop is found in Appendix 1 and a list of participants in Appendix 2. A list of background documents for the workshop can be found in Appendix 3. Appendix 4 contains a copy of a press release on the workshop issued by the regional forestry commission in Ghana on 27th July 2004. -

No results found.FAO is conducting a series of regional and sub-regional workshops as part of the preparatory work for the country reporting to the Global Forest Resources Assessment update 2005 (FRA 2005). These regional workshops respond to requests made by many member countries during the global training session held at FAO Headquarters in Rome in November 2003. The Sub-regional Workshop for Russian-speaking FRA National Correspondents and Focal Points was held in Wyszkow (some 80 km from Warsaw, Poland), in premises of the Wyszkow Forestry District (Nadleœnictwo Wyszków), from the 7 to 11 of December 2004. It was jointly organized by the UNECE/FAO Timber Branch in Geneva and the FAO Forestry Department in Rome, and hosted by the Polish State Forest Service (Lasy Panstwowe) located in Warsaw. The MCPFE Liaison Unit (Warsaw) helped to run the workshop, which was attended by 17 (seventeen) participants from 11 countries. Mr. Volker Sasse (SEUR`, Budapest) also assisted during the whole workshop as par t of the FAO-FRA team. The meeting was held in Russian language. Invitations to the workshop were extended to the officially nominated National Correspondents (NCs) and FRA Focal Points, those speaking and working with the FRA 2005 documents mainly in Russian language. The list of participants is attached (Appendix 1). -
Book (stand-alone)GuidelineGlobal Forest Resources Assessment Update 2005. Guidelines for Country Reporting to FRA 2005 2004Global forest resources assessments have been carried out by FAO since 1947 (FAO, 1948), practically since FAO was formed. The mandate to carry out these assessments stems both from the basic statutes of FAO, and from the decision of the Committee on Forestry (COFO). Global assessment reports have been published at approximately ten year intervals. The latest of these reports, FRA 2000, was published in 2001 (FAO, 2001). The Global Forest Resources Assessment Update for 2005, or FRA 2005, was re quested by COFO 2001 and COFO 2003, where it was recommended that global forest resources assessments should: (a) be carried out at 5 year intervals, (b) be related to international forestry processes and (c) be implemented as a broad based assessment.
