As presented during the last SCM Expected activities
Several comments : • Received during the launching SCM • Collected by the Focal Points and during project manager missions in the country • On the studies: • The involvement of forestry services in the studies should be prioritized. • Warning on the duplication risk with studies that have been already done in the region and that are planned to be done (but with different approaches) by the countries. • On the Working Groups: • Difficulty to find time to attend an important number of meetings (considering the under going activities). • For WG1 (Forest Cover Monitoring) and WG2 (Carbon Stock Assessment), the same experts will be sent by some of the countries. • Discussions on drivers of deforestation require national consultation before being brought to regional floor. NB: some countries (e.g. Guyana already performed this consultation work). Comments on those scheduled activities
