National Forest Monitoring System Programme (NFMS), Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)

National Forest Monitoring System (NFMS) measures the impact of anthropogenic activities on the emissions/absorption of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) related to land-use change.

National Forest Monitoring System (NFMS) measures the impact of anthropogenic activities on the emissions/absorption of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) related to land-use change. NFMS allows Government of Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to monitor land use, land cover and forest cover, and take informed policy decisions on reducing emissions from deforestation/ forest degradation for sustainable management of forest resources in DRC. In addition, it helps foster analysis and track progress made by REDD+ activities in forests on national scale and provide information essential for the country to meet reporting requirements under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).  

We undertook the mid-term review of the NFMS in DRC for Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and provided recommendations for improving the programme.
