COLOMBIA MRV & Capacity building status EderssonCabrera M. Gustavo Galindo G. Forest and Carbon Monitoring System IDEAM
Regular ForestChangeMaps, • Young process. • Now done annually. • No NationalForestInventory. • BUT… Planningstages are advanced. • Reducedknowledgeoneffects of fires, carbon stocks and emissions of otherlandcovers, degradation of forests etc. Thinking about capacity building efforts and needs, where do you think your country is in terms of addressing forest change, forest carbon stocks? SpatialDistribution of Capacity Gap forNationalForestMonitoringsystems, TakenfromGOFC-GOLD,2009)
Difficult to establish what is Successful. (Better outputs? impact results? human resources or institutional resources? How to quantify long term improvements?) • Inside out approach: Better results when capacity comes as a response of the National Forest Monitoring System needs. Demand driven. • Training through workshops: • Joint research activities: • Technology transfer: • Linked to the planning stages of the National Monitoring system and with human resources expertise. • Better results when donors and cooperation understand that Capacity Building as a dynamic process and not an static result. What are the approaches from international cooperation that you have find more useful for advancing the developing of your country MRV system?
