Book (series)Evaluation of the project “Improving global forest management through improved global forest information”
Project code: GCP/GLO/665/EC
2024Also available in:
No results found.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. -

In this context, FAO has been monitoring the world’s forests at five-to-ten year intervals since 1948. The Global Forest Resources Assessments (FRA) are now produced every five years, and describe the world’s forests and how they are changing. They are based on country reports compiled by officially nominated national correspondents (NCs) and their collaborators. The results of the last assessment preceding this project (FRA 2015) were published in September 2015. Since then, major global developments have taken place, increasingly highlighting the need for high-quality data to better understand forests’ role in climate change and their contribution to sustainable development. The European Union is a key partner of the FRA programmeand has been supporting the global assessments since FRA 2010. It provided financial support for the implementation of the FRA programme, and more specifically for the implementation of the FRA 2020 reporting cycle, through this project. The overall objective of the project was to contribute to sustainable development and livelihood sustenance through sustainable forest management.
