Synopsis (short abstract) Long-term investments in building the capacity of technical staff in reporting countries were delivering clear benefits in terms of overall improvements in the quality of data being reported. New innovations introduced by the project were well received by the majority of country-level staff, bringing benefits such as improved efficiency in reporting, not only to the project itself, but to a range of other UN-focused conventions and agreements. The evaluation found that the project has clear comparative advantages and occupies a unique global niche, but differences with other forest resource assessment processes need further clarification and communication. The project has well established and functional systems of project management, but risk management practices need strengthening. The evaluation makes a series of recommendations to strengthen external communications, provide opportunities for interim reporting, integrate remote sensing in the context of country reporting, further strengthen capacity at country level, improve risk management practices and clarify the project outcome statement.
