Ten lessons learned on Independent Forest Monitoring from the FAO-EU FLEGT Programme

Independent forest monitoring has been a core area of support for the FAO-EU Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) Programme, offering a broad base of experience to draw from. Analyzing the main lessons learned from a sample of projects across Africa, Latin America, and Asia, this brief aims to inform future project design and improve Independent Monitoring approaches in the forestry sector and beyond. This work contributes to a larger reflection on IFM conducted by partner organizations, including: a briefing from the European Forest Institute, an article by the Centre for International Development and Training, a study from Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza and an upcoming study on Independent Monitoring in the Congo Basin led by the World Resources Institute.
