1. Country experiences in improving national forest monitoring.

2. Assessing drivers of forest change and implications for REDD+ MRV.

3. Step-wise progress for REDD+. monitoring and reporting

4. Uncertainties and REDD+ financial incentive benchmarks.

Well established national forest monitoring system should be continuously improved with sustainable financial resources and capacity-development programme.

Monitoring and reporting systems should be transparent, consistent, complete, comparable and accurate.

Further investments will be needed for building strong leaderships, for clarifying mechanisms and procedures to encourage aggregation and scaling up diverse initiatives on field measurements and monitoring into robust national capacities.

Success factors and challenges

• Focus on certain REDD+

programme.

• National capacity relatively

low.

• Existence of regulations on

climate change mitigation.

• Bridging different REDD+

initiatives (national-

international).

• Strong collaboration and

public awareness

supported by government.

• Lack of transparent data

sharing.

• Long experiences of NFI on

regular basis and

supported by Law.

• Need better capacity

building and institutional

arrangement.
