The objective of the Development of Systems to Prevent Forest Fires and Monitor Vegetation Cover in the Brazilian Cerrado Project is to enhance the Member country’s institutional capacity in monitoring deforestation, in providing information on fire risks, and in estimating related GHG emissions in the Cerrado. There are three components to the project, the first component being deforestation monitoring. The component will finance strengthening the monitoring of deforestation in the Cerrado by: training selected stakeholders on access, interpretation and use of the information generated by the deforestation monitoring system for the Cerrado; and designing and implementing a data quality control system for the deforestation monitoring system for the Cerrado. The second component is the Information systems on forest fire risk and GHG emissions estimation. This component will finance carrying out a program of hands-on training on the practical application of fire risk modelling tools to selected stakeholders. Finally, the third component is the project management, monitoring and evaluation. The component will provide support for managing the technical and administrative aspects of the project, including financial management, procurement, the carrying out of audits, overall project coordination, monitoring and evaluation of project implementation.
