Capacity building for MAR on tropical forests
(ITTO C&I training WS)
Organization-Led Initiative in support of the UNFF
28-30 November 2016, Rome, Italy
Takeshi Goto, Assistant Director
International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO)

Background:
•ITTO developed “Guidelines for SFM in Tropical
Forests” in 1990.
•First set of Criteria published in 1992 to monitor the
Guidelines.
•A set of C&I was developed in 1998 and revised in
2005 and 2015.
•All ITTO producer member countries are requested to
report progress toward SFM using C&I.
•Harmonization of C&I was done
with ATO and ACTO.

Training WS:
• ITTO carried out 28 national training workshops
since 2002 to assist ITTO producer member
countries in:
• Understanding and implementing C&I;
• Generating or checking national reports; and
• Involve all stakeholders in the process.
• Over 1,200 stakeholders have participated in these
training workshops.
• Nearly US$ 800 thousand has
been mobilized to organize
these workshops.

Projects:
• ITTO has implemented more than 20 projects to
support ITTO producer member countries in:
• Developing national level C&I;
• Implementing national C&I; and
• Building capacity to conduct MAR
• Nearly US$ 15 million has been mobilized to
implement these projects.

Reducing reporting burden:
• Reporting Formats ware developed in 2000 to
facilitate monitoring and reporting.
• Harmonization of C&I was undertaken with African
Timber Organization (ATO) and Amazon
Cooperation Treaty Organization (ACTO).
• Participated in the Collaborative Forest Resources
Questionnaire (CFRQ).

Conclusions:
• Eight countries prepared their reports without
assistance from ITTO;
• Capacity is growing in generating and supplying data
as part of routine work;
• Considerable problems still exist in data availability
and quality for many indicators; and
• Capacity building continues to be required in many
ITTO producer member countries,
including new ITTO members.
