Technical Focus
The specific objective of the Project is to facilitate well-informed and better decision-making related to forests and forestry based on the harmonized, comprehensive, timely and accurate information generated at a national and international level. This will help address challenges which have a profound effect especially on the lives of poor people: rapidly degrading key ecosystems, climate change and poor global environmental governance. The project has 6 outputs:
- High quality data reported to FRA 2020, with fewer expert estimates.
- Country reporting harmonized and streamlined.
- Technology innovations: The Forest Resources Information Management System (FRIMS) and the accessibility to Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) data through multi-purpose outputs in FAOSTAT/ CountryStat improved.
- Technical and organizational capacities strengthened through capacity building.
- Remote Sensing: Improved estimates of forest land use change at the global, regional and ecozone scales.
- National Networking: Network of National Correspondents enhanced through participation and awareness of the FRA data collection process established within each of the 234 countries and territories participating in the FRA process.
