FRA 2015 Country reporting process
FAO requests all countries to submit a comprehensive report following a standardized format and methodology. Reports are prepared by officially nominated national correspondents and submitted to FAO.
For FRA 2015, there were two options for submitting the reports: either via email as a Microsoft Word document or via the Forest Resources Information Management System (FRIMS), which is an online portal for FRA 2015 data entry.
Country reports were reviewed by members of the FRA team. Once the review was completed, countries were asked to double check any changes made. Afterwards, the final country reports were sent to the Head of Forestry for confirmation and publication.
