Topic outline
As countries work to meet their national commitments to restoring degraded landscapes, it is important that all FLR interventions have manageable monitoring systems in place, to assess progress towards specific goals, support adaptive management and ensure transparency. This course has been developed to equip practitioners with the capacity to design, plan and implement monitoring systems for FLR interventions.
This course is designed for a range of stakeholders with an interest in forest and landscape restoration, including practitioners and policy makers from:
- International and regional organizations and donors;
- National governments;
- Private sector;
- Non-governmental organizations (NGOs); and
- Research institutes and universities.
