Results Framework for CARPE II

Reduce the rate of forest degradation and loss of biodiversity through increased local, national, and regional natural resource management capacity.

Strategic Objective Indicators:

Indicator 1: Change in area of forest from intact/pristine to “degraded,” modified, or secondary forest or to non-forest; and from “degraded” forest to non-forest

Indicator 2: Population status for selected biodiversity “indicator” species such as: wide-ranging “landscape” species and/or ecological keystone species (e.g. elephants, large predators) and/or globally threatened species (such as, mountain gorillas, bonobos, etc.)

Intermediate Result 1: Natural resources managed sustainably
CARPE Management Tool

Indicator 1: Number of landscapes and other focal areas covered by integrated land use plans

Indicator 2: Number of different use zones (e.g. parks & PAs; CBNRM areas; forestry concessions; plantations) within landscapes with sustainable management plans

Intermediate Result 2: Natural resources governance (institutions, policies, laws) strengthened

Indicator 1: Number of key new laws or policies for PAs, logging concessions, and CBNRM passed or old laws and policies reformed compared with a list of recommended or promoted reforms

Tools for good governance strengthening in the forestry sector in the Congo Basin

Indicator 2: Number of NGO (and other civil society organizations) advocacy initiatives & activities (e.g., media articles about environmental governance issues e.g. illegal logging, bushmeat poaching; NR court cases brought or complaints filed with appropriate government agencies) recommended or promoted reforms

Intermediate Result 3: Natural resources monitoring institutionalized

Indicator 1: Number of landscapes or other focal areas with forest cover assessments (see SO-level indicator 1)

Indicator 2: Number of CARPE countries implementing surveillance system for illegal logging

Indicator 3: Assessment of capacity of Congo Basin (African) institutions (e.g. government agencies, universities and research institutions, NGOs, regional institutions) to collect and analyze information of adequate quality for decisionmaking

Indicator 4: Content/quality analysis of annual “State of the Congo Basin Forest” report
