1 www.gfoi.org GFOI Capacity Building Summit Armenia, Colombia – September 17 to 19, 2014 MRV & Capacity building status COLOMBIA Edersson Cabrera M. Gustavo Galindo G. Forest and Carbon Monitoring System IDEAM

2 www.gfoi.org GFOI Capacity Building Summit Armenia, Colombia – September 17 to 19, 2014 Thinking about capacity building efforts and needs, where do you think your country is in terms of addressing forest change, forest carbon stocks? Spatial Distribution of Capacity Gap for National Forest Monitoring systems, Taken from GOFC-GOLD,2009) Regular Forest Change Maps, Young process. Now done annually. No National Forest Inventory. BUT… Planning stages are advanced. Reduced knowledge on effects of fires, carbon stocks and emissions of other land covers, degradation of forests etc.

3 www.gfoi.org GFOI Capacity Building Summit Armenia, Colombia – September 17 to 19, 2014 What are the approaches from international cooperation that you have find more useful for advancing the developing of your country MRV system? Difficult to establish what is Successful. (Better outputs? impact results? human resources or institutional resources? How to quantify long term improvements?) 1.Inside out approach: Better results when capacity comes as a response of the National Forest Monitoring System needs. Demand driven. A.Training through workshops: B.Joint research activities: C.Technology transfer: 1.Linked to the planning stages of the National Monitoring system and with human resources expertise. 2.Better results when donors and cooperation understand that Capacity Building as a dynamic process and not an static result.

4 www.gfoi.org SDCG-4, Caltech, CA, USA 4 th -6 th September 2013 What are the approaches from international cooperation that you have find more useful for advancing the developing of your country MRV system? Difficulties: Gaps between theory and practice. Capacity building sometimes Increases the burden to the MRV system. Lack of Communication and external and internal coordination. Mobility of human resources. Hard to plan at the long term. Difficulties in being a recipient of funds. Enhancement of administrative capacity is also needed. Results based in short term results (eg. black boxes) Successful stories: Learning doing….

5 www.gfoi.org GFOI Capacity Building Summit Armenia, Colombia – September 17 to 19, 2014 What are the current programs from international cooperation in your country that aim to develop capacity in the implementation of your MRV system? SilvaCarbon, -USAID ----------------------------------- South-South Cooperation Bilateral Agreements, Multilateral Agreements Independent Contractors SilvaCarbon, -USAID ----------------------------------- South-South Cooperation Bilateral Agreements, Multilateral Agreements Independent Contractors

6 www.gfoi.org GFOI Capacity Building Summit Armenia, Colombia – September 17 to 19, 2014 Can you identify the most immediate needs on capacity building for forest monitoring? Continue with Technical Capacity building, but increase General Capacity building for the monitoring system (Fund management, Organization Assesssment, sustainability, Links with deforestation control activities, communication of results). Deforestation and degradation driver assessment. Forest inventory sampling design and inventory design and planning. Dense SAR and optical time series analysis. Increase processing capacities. Land cover change detection. Emissions from other land covers different from forests. Interoperability between local and National initiatives and results

7 www.gfoi.org GFOI Capacity Building Summit Armenia, Colombia – September 17 to 19, 2014 How do you envision international cooperation to assistance in the short term 1 – 2 years and in the long term 5 years from now? Cooperation is Flexible and adjusted for national circunstances. It´s not a linear process and has to be adjusted periodically. –Hard to establish where we will be in five years- Continue to be based almost completely to an inside-out approach. Assistance will have better communication and cooperation and planning will increase between agencies and between institutions. Results! National Forest inventory Implemented ______________________________________
