Synopsis (short abstract) Under the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries (REDD+) mechanism, mitigation actions in the forestry sector are encouraged through the adoption of measures and the implementation of activities that take into consideration national capacities and contexts. Countries aiming to undertake REDD+ activities are required to develop ( i ) a national strategy or action plan, (ii) national Forest Reference Levels (FRLs), (iii) a National Forest Monitoring System (NFMS) that meets REDD+ measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) requirements, and (iv) a system for providing information on safeguards. Through its Forest Carbon Partnership Facility, World Bank established the REDD+ Readiness Fund, which offers countries an opportunity to access relevant funding opportunities. Importantly, Sudan’s REDD+ Readiness Preparation Proposal was formulated in 2012 2013 and approved in 2014. Prior to this project, however, a functional NFMS still needed to be developed for Sudan to achieve the status of REDD+ readiness and enter Phase II of REDD+ implementation. The project was therefore designed to support the Government of Sudan in generating the data and developing the capacities required to monitor, report and verify REDD+ activities.

    Establishing a National Forest Monitoring System to Enhance Transparency and Build REDD+ Readiness in Cambodia - UNFA/CMB/041/UND 2020

    Cambodia has approximately 9.45 million ha of forest cover (53 percent of total land area), yet it lost 3 million ha to deforestation between 2000 and 2010 alone. Rapid deforestation and increased risks to slow and quick-onset weather events disproportionately affect Cambodia’s rural and forest-dependent populations. Forests, however, historically served as natural sinks of greenhouse gasses (GHGs). Therefore, the Royal Government of Cambodia called for a holistic approach to natural resource management and climate change mitigation, paying special attention to deforestation, landscape degradation and GHG emissions from forestry. The project worked to establish the National Forest Monitoring System (NFMS), enabling Cambodian authorities to better collect, analyze, monitor and report data on forest cover, land use, resource management and GHG emissions. To this end, geographic information systems (GIS) and information and communication technologies (ICTs) were used in building national REDD+ readiness capacities.

    This Data in Emergencies Monitoring (DIEM-Monitoring) brief shares the results of a third-round assessment conducted in September 2022 in the Sudan. It presents key findings and recommendations for humanitarian actors to utilize in planning and implementing data-driven programming to sustain farmers’ livelihoods and build their resilience to future shocks – protecting the food security of rural people in the Sudan.  The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) established the DIEM-Monitoring System to collect, analyse and disseminate data on shocks and livelihoods in countries prone to multiple shocks. DIEM-Monitoring aims to inform decision-making by providing regularly updated information on how different shocks are affecting the livelihoods and food security of agricultural populations. Information is collected from primary sources in the production process: producers, traders or marketers, input suppliers, extension officers and other key informants.
