Synopsis (short abstract) The evaluation of “Strengthening National Forest Inventory and Satellite Land Monitoring System in support of REDD+ in Bangladesh”, funded by the United States, concluded that the new Bangladesh Forest Inventory and Satellite Land Monitoring System developed under this project will greatly improve the consistency and standing of reporting by Bangladesh, including those for forest resources assessment, SDGs and REDD+. The methodologies developed under the project were of a very high standard and greatly improved the monitoring and reporting by the Bangladesh Forest Department and Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. The Land Cover Classification System is impressive, transforming how land cover mapping will be accomplished in Bangladesh and how results will be comparable across many applications. The evaluation is recommending FAO to pursue the dissemination of knowledge and exert influence over the use of the results in forest management programmes and policies. FAO should identify potential forest "hotspot" areas for action and start planning the support to the next National Forest Inventory.
