MRV & Reporting Status & Related Space Data Needs Mozambique SDCG‐ 11 Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam 5 April, 2017
Institutional background • MRV unit is a repartition of Technical Unit for REDD+ (UT-REDD+) • which is dependent upon the National Sustainable Development Fund (FNDS) • belonging to Ministery of Land, Environmental and Rural Development (MITADER). • Functions ü Establish a national forest monitoring system; ü Assess REDD+ initiatives and programs; and ü Implement and coordinate with the private sector, civil society and local communities the REDD+ activities.

Status of National MRV Implementation Activity Data Spatially explicit tracking of land‐use conversions over time, with a well‐designed sampling approach (4 x 4 km grid) to train/validate a supervised classification of changes on a multi‐temporal stack of Landsat Imagery (historical AD): complete historical period 2001‐ 2016 of HR visual assessment using Collect Earth tool (FAO free available tool). (historical LULC maps 2003, 2005, 2007, 2010, 2013 – wall to wall approach by JICA) LULC Map 2016 Preparation of a HR (10 m) 2016 LULC Map based on Sentinel-2 Imagery. SDCG‐ 11 Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam 5 April, 2017 National Forest Inventory The National Forest Inventory (680 clusters x 4 plots) was designed (assessed and approved methodology by WB) and its guidelines and tools developed in 2016 by the new MRV Unit – UT‐ REDD+ ‐ FNDS in collaboration with the DINAF and is being implemented throughout 2016 and 2017 by national institutions (UT-REDD+, DINAF, UEM, IIAM) working collaboratively at National Level (except Gaza and Cabo Delgado Provincial Inventories by JICA).
Status of National MRV Implementation (cont. ) EFs Sub-component: National Forest Efs have been calculated by vegetation type Monitoring System using secondary data sources at national level (Tier 2). Results from the NFI will allow to • Ongoing the development of an operational manual for the community update (December 2017) their values and the based MRV/SIS system tasks. National Net of Permanent Plots (96 plots). • The designed system will be tested on Forest Reference Level field in selected communities of 15 Stepwise approach: zero version available districts of Zambezia and Cabo using global AD datasets (Hansen) and Efs by Delgado (ERs Programmes) during vegetation type from secondary data sources 2018. at national level (Tier 2). First version updated using AD results from sampling approach / wall to wall approach. Second version updated using Efs from NFI. SDCG‐ 11 Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam 5 April, 2017

Space Data Needs (cont. ) Challenges Institutional arrangements • Strengthen the communication and coordination through creations of platforms and technical steering committees. New requirements for MRV • New technologies affect significantly to success; • Ability to learn fast is required. Ability of the Government to support the MRV costs given other priorities • Different approaches, new requirements (Cost implications but sustainable approaches). obstacles • Sentinel‐ 2 and Lansat images data partially covered by cloud; • Download and process sentinel image data change detections.
