National forest inventory and forest rehabilitation
Background
The Republic of Togo intends to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) and to increase the forest carbon stock through a national REDD+ process. The German development cooperation (GIZ) supports REDD+ in Togo by establishing and providing joint financing for periodic national forest inventories. From 2014 to 2016, the first comprehensive national forest inventory was conducted in Togo. This included satellite image analysis as well as broad civil society involvement. Due to the strong experience with REDD+ and knowledge of local circumstances, UNIQUE in consortium with Deutsche Forstservice GmbH (DFS) supported the design and implementation of this inventory.
Our contribution
- Inform civil society organizations about the inventory process.
- Design and conduction of complementary trainings.
- Support the national long-term expert (particularly at satellite image analysis and REDD+ issues).
- Backstopping during the inventory data collection and analysis.
