The National Forest Assessment project is part of a global programme entitled “Sustainable Forest Management in Changing Climate” launched by FAO. It will cost a total of almost 3.2 million USD, of which 489,300 USD will come from the Vietnamese side.



The project aims to enhance the capacity of the Vietnam Forestry Administration, especially the Forestry Inventory and Planning Institute, and to introduce new and appropriate technologies.



At the same time, it will help Vietnam in reviewing forest inventory parameters again emerging national and international reporting requirements, harmonising and updating the information on forests and trees and reviewing the forestry policy in the light of results from the forest resources assessment.
