In India, ongoing forest degradation is a serious challenge,which is further complicated by the lack of reliable monitoring andassessment of the growing stock of trees at the state level.This project aimed at addressing the critical gaps in India’s forestrysector and supporting the development, implementation andutilization of the proposed National Forest Monitoring System (NFMS).Based on a series of commissioned studies, the frameworks necessaryfor critical, integrated and comprehensive assessments of the impactsof different forestry sector actions in the six pilot states weredeveloped, and appropriate strategies and policies forthe development of the Indian forestry sector were formulated. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetEstablishing a multi-purpose national forest monitoring system to improve land use monitoring capacities in Ghana
Strengthening the accessibility and accuracy of forest-related data for meeting national and international climate targets
2021Since 2008, the Republic of Ghana has implemented activities for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+). These actions include establishing a multi-purpose national forest monitoring system (NFMS) to improve land use monitoring capacities in the country. Development of Ghana's NFMS strengthens the accessibility and accuracy of forest-related data for meeting national and international climate targets. This case study may serve as an example to other countries implementing NFMS, as it describes the purpose of an NFMS, the design, related stakeholders and other actors, as well as the challenges and successes experienced in Ghana.
