Thinking about capacity building efforts and needs, where do you think your country is in terms of addressing forest change, forest carbon stocks?• Forest Change: 1995-2010

What are the approaches from international cooperation that you have find more useful for advancing the developing of your country MRV system?
• International Approaches• Capacity Building GFOI/SILVA Carbon Program• MRV Method linking with NFI/and MRV at
National level• Regional learning

What are the current programs from international cooperation in your country that aim to develop capacity in the implementation of
your MRV system?• FRA ongoing (by the end of December, 2014)• REDD World Bank Study completed• Working Document submitted• ERPIN Submitted• GFOI Capacity building events participated • Lan cover harmonization training organized

Immediate Need
• Long term training that is need for specific topic such as land sat based forest change detection (planning for every two year)
• Biomass Mapping training intensive• Degradation Mapping training

Activity Data For REDD+
•Area of primary Forest•Annual conversion (Cropland, Grassland, Wetland, settlement, Other land)•Annual transfer from primary forest to modified forest•Annual conversion from Non Forest land use to planted Forest

Capacity Building to integrate the Remote sensing data and Ground Inventory data for wall to wall biomass/carbon estimates (Till now areas estimates and inventory result separate, not integration, capacity gap), Cloud cover issues, radar capacity building, also gap in Lidar capacity.

• Approx.1500 PSP for periodic Monitoring• REDD MRV (proposed 1000 PSP/ two years)• Activity data from Land-Sat image for regular
emission estimate• Use of open source tool and integration in the
MRV system could make transparent method and data use
• Capacity building and retaining main challenge
