FGM Workshop Background Paper - REDD - VietNam

In the table 04, indicator number is in the column A. Area of the FGM concern is in
the column B. Indicator name is in the column C. Indicator measurement unit is in
the column D. The column E is about availability of the indicators information as
follows: “Y” means the information is available, “N” means the indicator information is
not available, and “P” means the indicator information is partially available. The
column F is about organization leading for information collection and reporting for
indicators. The column G is about reporting period which, at national level, is one
year. However, at lower levels, is can be shorter according to different kinds of
organizations and their monitoring needs. The column H is about “code” of indicators
within FAO forest governance monitoring framework.
The set of proposed indicators do not require establishment of a new agency,
because all indicators can be integrated into roles and tasks of the current
organizations. Furthermore most of indicators having “count” as measuring unit
therefore the proposed system do nor require much additional resources. Major part
of information needed for the proposed indicators can be provided if organizations
have a standard documentation system for their day-to-day operations.
In terms of method and methodology of collection and treatment, FORMIS and NFA
projects can support the FGM through their action plan and pilot case studies.
