MINISTRY OF TOURISM, ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES Forest Monitoring For REDD “A Case of The Integrated Land-use Assessment (ILUA) - Zambia” Presented By Abel M. SIAMPALE Senior Forestry Officer - ILUA 9 – 12/06/2008, Bonn - Germany ILUA ZAMBIA IN BRIEF (THE CROSS - SECTOR APPROACH) 1. Biophysical (Variables) Data ECOSYSTEM Land use & Forest Types Soils texture and Drainage Forest Products and Services General Land Management Environmental Problems 2. Socio-Economic (Variables) Data PEOPLE Population Information Knowledge (Legislations) Crop Information Livestock production Accessibility to Services STAKEHOLDERS INVOLVED IN ILUA Lead Institution is Forestry Department, Ministry of Tourism, Environment and Natural Resources. Collaborating Institutions: 1. Agriculture, (Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives). 2. Survey, (Ministry of Lands). 3. Central Statistical Office, (Ministry of Finance and National Planning). 4.

NGOs THE SAMPLING DESIGN FOR THE ILUA IN ZAMBIA THE INFORMATION PRODUCTS FOR ILUA - ZAMBIA ILUA DATA - ZAMBIA Forest Inventory Data 1. 2. 3. 4. Biophysical Data Poverty Alleviation Access to Resources Bio-energy & Environment C1 Spatial Information Attribute Data Base Spatial Data Base 1. 2. 3. 4. Land Cover maps Land Use maps “Resource maps” Sustainability maps C2 Extent and Potential of Forest Sector Main Land Cover Classes Total Forest area Total Other Wooded Land Total Other Land Inland Water Total Growing Stock (Million M3) Carbon stock Million HA 49.9 6.1 15.8 3.4 2,954 2,770 million tons “INFO PROD 1 – ACCESS TO RESOURCES, LAND OWNERSHIP IN ZAMBIA” Major Household Activities among the Sample Households Forestry 7% Livestock / Herding 32% others 5% Fishery 5% Urban / Peri-urban 1% Mining / Extraction 0% T ourism 0% not specified 0% Crop production 50% Livestock-Related Policy Domains MACROECONOMIC POLICIES I. Reducing vulnerability land – water – feed – risk-coping Policies promoting pro-poor livestock sector development II. Creating conditions for growth services – credit – markets III. Sustaining growth food safety – competitiveness – environment Source: ILUA Policy Workshop – Dr. T.

Establishing a national database on the land use resources - contribute to sustainable natural resource management Support the establishing of a long-term resource monitoring system across multiple sectors (institutionalizing ILUA to provide detailed data to REDD) Support dissemination of reliable and update information on land use to policy and decision makers and the general public. Identify social, cultural, environmental and economic aspects of land use and land use change to address a number of issues such as climate change, floods, land degradation, deforestation, research, etc To stimulate the implementation of best practice guidelines (reclassification of protected areas) in fire management, timber harvesting, tree planting, carbon accounting, etc. 6. Strengthen positive synergies across sectors 7. Encourage value augmenting activities, wildlife ranching, eco-tourism, carbon markets and trading ,etc Improve on scientific approaches to data generation (local modeling) and capacity building within FD 8.
