Assessment of SFM Kit Prins
Outline • Background: • Whyassess SFM? • Principles of proposedmethod • How itwouldwork? • Tasks for sub-group work
Whyassess SFM at country level? • Evidence basedpolicymaking • Communication: a clear story for the sector and the world • Monitoring progress and learningfromothers • Get maximum benefitfrom descriptive SoEF data
Three questions to beanswered(all atlevel of country or subnationallevelwhenforestpolicyresponsibilityatthatlevel) • Whatare the areas of concernwith regards to sustainability? • How are the areas of concernbeingaddressed?
Principles of the proposedmethod • Based on agreed pan-Europeancriteria and indicators of SFM • Objectivity and transparency • Comprehensiveness (all criteriacovered, all indicatorsconsidered) • Takeaccount of national circumstances: no single ideal situation, rather « areas of concern » • Participation of national correspondents • Addresspolicies and institutions
Each pan-Europeanindicatorisassigned to one of three types: • Context: descriptive, structural, impossible to change in the short to medium term • Assessment: used to identifyareas of concern, whenthey go over a warning level • Background: not usable because of data quality, lack of real meaning or otherreasons
How itwouldwork? • Data collection as part of SoEF • Calculation of size-neutralindicators, identification of countries/indicatorswhere warning levelsurpassed • Dialogue with national correspondents (measured warning levelisonly first filter, not final judgement): • Accuracy of data • Background and context • Policy response • Publication of agreed « areas of concern » - withpolicyresponse - and regionalsynthesis
For allindicators in their area, review: • Context, assessment or background? • Formulation of parameter (state or change, absolute or relative?) • Warning level (for assessmentparametersonly) • Check that data canbederivedfromenquiry • Report back tomorrow
Plenary discussion on Friday • Sub-groups report back to: • Main conclusions • Major unresolved issues • (in written form) indicator by indicator recommendations • Discussion on principles and methods
