Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetFrom reference levels to results reporting: REDD+ under the UNFCCC 2017
Also available in:
No results found.For well over a decade, developing countries have been encouraged to undertake activities in their forestry sectors that are designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while also working to conserve, enhance and sustainably manage forest carbon stocks. These activities are known collectively as Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+), which was established under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). More recently, these actions were con firmed by the landmark Paris Agreement on climate change, which entered into force in 2016, as a core element of a new global climate change regime. Under this regime, governments have agreed on policy approaches and positive incentives for activities that reduce GHG emissions and enhance carbon sinks in the forest sector in developing countries. Countries have been supported in their REDD+ efforts by organizations including United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), which has spe cialized in assisting the development of measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) capabilities – crucial to the REDD+ process. This flyer provides an update of developments related to the MRV of REDD+ activities, as well as updating activities related to countries’ submissions of Forest Reference (Emission) Levels (FRELs/FRLs). This report will also summarize experiences with the technical assessment process as of early 2017 and offer an overview of initial REDD+ results reporting and tec hnical analyses of those reports. -

AGRISurvey: Country brief
2021Also available in:
No results found.FAO AGRISurvey programme helps countries strengthening their national agricultural surveys systems and promotes the access and use of agricultural statistics. The programme supports countries in monitoring the targets set by the 2030 Development Agenda for the agricultural sector. In particular, the programme has provided support to Cambodia, Senegal and Uganda in monitoring the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Indicators 2.3.1, 2.3.2, 2.4.1 and 5.a.1. This brief presents the example of Cambodia, Senegal and Uganda to demonstrate how the Programme can make the difference in improving the country capacity to monitor the progress of the agricultural sector and to use the data for policy design. The activities in the three countries will continue under the 50x2030 Initiative to Close the Agricultural Data Gap. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetThe Agricultural Integrated Surveys Programme - AGRISurvey 2018Good decisions are based on accurate information. That truth is especially critical in the agricultural sector where national programmatic and policy decisions impacts the well-being for citizens. Yet, the scarcity of high-quality and timely national data to inform decisionmaking across low and lower-middle income countries is widely recognized, hampering the efforts of governments and organizations to shape good policies, encourage investment, target programs, and measure progress. The dearth of data is especially profound in the areas of agriculture and food security where long-term investments are lacking to create sustainable data systems. Most developing countries have not conducted regular annual agricultural surveys or censuses in the last 15 years. To adress this problem, FAO in collaboration with USAID, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and GRAInS, is working with countries to build their capacities to implement AGRISurvey programme. The AGRISurvey programme aims to accelerate and improve the collection and dissemination of data on agricultural production as well as the technical, economic, environmental and social dimensions of agricultural holdings through training and technical assistance geared towards the implementation of an integrated system of agricultural surveys.
