MCPFE SoEF 2007Review Preliminary results from the UNECE/FAO ToS Review E. Rametsteiner
General approach All 7 respondents: „appropriate“ No comments
General organization of work 4 respondents: „sufficient and effective“ 3 „partly“ Comments: • socio-economic data situation – recognized in planning? • esp. data collection on 6.4 – well advised? • FAO-GFRA & MCPFE: re-use same data in some cases? • IDPs contacted too late? • More active participation of national experts to make definitions more operative
Overall time schedule 4 respondents „appropriate & realistic“ 2 „partly“ 1 „not“ Comments: • Problem: deadline in summer (better: Oct-April) • IDPs contacted too late • Adequate time for main enquiry, but not for private forest ownership enquiry
Data collection/validation from NCs(incl. structure of questionnaire, support) 5 respondents „well organized & carried out“ 2 „partly“ Comments: • More user-friendly „sources“ & „comments“ boxes • Data quality specifications partly inappropriate • Very time consuming data filling • Some detailed comments on data issues in tables
Data validation from International Data Providers 4 respondents „well organized & carried out“ 2 „partly“ 1 „not“ Comments: • Unclear quality data => prelim. expert validation/screening/ scoping before national validation (employment, accidents,.) • IDP contacted too late • IDP have good common methodological basis • Data validation is time consuming, often small differences
Data collection/validation qualitative indicators 2 respondents „well organized & carried out“ 3 „partly“ Comments: • Too detailed questionnaire, many different experts to ask => some inadequate responses • „was not involved“ • Generally ok, some repetitive, some difficult to use • Improve – types of data (to ask for)
Opportunities for participation in report elaboration 5 respondents „responds to needs& expectation“ 2 „partly“ Comments • Ability to comment analysis results to avoid misinterpretations • Opportunity to comment on national level IDP data • „did not see draft report“
Future improvements for SoEF reporting process Comments: • FAO-GFRA & MCPFE coordination: Timing & contents (reduce reporting burden) • Option to review draft report • Better info on national experts involved, Ministry pressure • IDP contact earlier • Better accuracy (specification) of data asked (BD) • Complement questionnaire with SWOT analysis on status & development of indicator in country • Good communication & early information important! • Do not include indicator parts if data availability is low
MCPFE SoEF 2007 Report 6 respondents „met needs& expectations“ 1 „partly“ Comments: • Clearer statements on forest mgmt & policy „hot spots“
MCPFE Report structureincl. country groupings 6 respondents „appropriate“ 1 „partly“ Comments: • Executive summary – do not duplicate from chapters • High quality report, but sometimes „less is more“ • All of Russia in „Eastern Europe“; • European part of Russia only?
MCPFE Report chapters Comments: Many detailed comments to be taken up, e.g. • Include references to indicator numbers throughout • Style too positive? too passive? No suggestions offered? • Data quality: no use was made of country information • Etc.
MCPFE Report graphics 6 respondents „appropriate“ 1 „partly“ Comments: - Consistent green-orange-red for wanted-neutral-unwanted
MCPFE Report dissemination 2 respondents „well designed & appropriate“ 3 „partly“ Comments: • More promotion in countries • Printed report to NC asap! • Pdf version too large for download & forwarding • Are country reports available? • Are data easily available on the web?
Future improvements for MCPFE Report Comments: • Include forest types • Assess & judge: existing & „wanted“, propose measures • Improve definitions and ask historical data on basis of new definitions
