Community-based MRV is envisioned as an integral part of the national MRV system, and the FCMC activity was intended to increase engagement between communities and the national MRV system and institutions. This activity is timely, since Colombia is in key stages of developing the national Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation; and the Role of Conservation, Sustainable Management of Forests, and Enhancement of Forest Carbon Stocks (REDD+) institutional architecture, and engaging local communities in the REDD+ process. Parallel efforts supported by other donors that involve the Institute of Hydrology, Meteorology and Environmental Research (IDEAM) and the Ministry of Environment will include workshops in which national and regional governments will discuss potential roles of local communities in a national MRV system.
