CAPACITY FOR COPERNICUS REDD+ EXPERT STAKEHOLDER WORKSHOP
East African Science and Technology Commission (EASTECO)
The East African Community (EAC)
The East African Community – EAC (the
Community), is the regional inter-
governmental organization of the
Republics of: Burundi; Kenya; Rwanda;
Uganda; Tanzania and South Sudan.
2
Objective of the Community is to develop
policies and programs aimed at widening
and deepening co-operation among the
Partner States in political, economic,
social and cultural fields; research and
technology; defence; as well as security,
legal and judicial affairs – for their mutual
benefit.

• Developing a Bioeconomy Strategy for Eastern Africa
(BiSEA) and Policy Agenda.
• Development of EAC region Space Strategy
complementing the African Space Strategy
• EAC Biomass Based Bioeconomy Assessment
• Establishment of the East Africa Regional Bioeconomy
Observatory
• Capacity building of National Forestry Authorities on use
of EO-based data in REDD+ mapping
East African Science and Technology Commission (EASTECO)
EASTECO REDD+ AND FOREST MONITORING
Working with National Forestry Authorities in:
• Biomass assessment at national and regional level
• Capacity building in REDD+ using EO-based and field
measurement data.
• Carbon Stocks and Emissions loss from deforestation
and degradation

REDD+ AND FOREST MONITORING
REDD+ in EAC Countries are guided by UNFCCC Focal
points in respective ministries.
There is REDD+ National Steering committee at National
Forestry Authorities.
The REDD+ National Steering Committee are also
responsible for MRV component too.

The Global Forest Change (GFC) product provides estimates of global tree cover and tree coverchanges on an annual basis from 2000 through 2014 based on Landsat satellite imagery(Hansen et al. 2013). It shows significant differences to the national data in terms of treecover/forest cover, but similar trends in terms of tree cover loss/forest cover loss.

Forest inventories in Uganda:
1) National Biomass Study (NBS),
2) Stock assessment inventories (Exploratory Inventory and
Integrated Stock Survey),
3) Permanent Sample Plot (PSP) for growth and yield
monitoring, and
4) Special purpose inventories (e.g., biodiversity, carbon
assessment and research studies).
