4) Coordinates Research & Development•GFOI Methods and Guidance Document (MGD)• Link between IPCC methods and REDD+ activities• Consistent with UNFCCC Warsaw Framework onREDD+• Coordinated with UN-REDD, World Bank, IPCC andGOFC-GOLD• Relevant to all countries, but is particularly intended fortechnical decision makers and policy colleagues inREDD+ countries, as well as their partners ininternational agencies, multilateral and bilateralprogrammes.

GFOI Methods and Guidance Document (MGD)
Version 1• Published January 2014 in English, French, Spanish• Kept updated by Modules – 1. Relationship with GOFC-GOLD; 2. Useof global datasets; 3. Forest Reference Levels
Version 2 (scheduled for late 2016)
Incorporate experiences from country engagement and new developments:• more visual material (flow charts, decision trees)• updates on institutional arrangements• strengthen guidance on integration methods• more complete material on statistical inference (emission factors aswell as area data) and uncertainties• Integration of module material developed over the course of the year
• Updates from UNFCCC (Paris, reference level submissions)• Updated satellite data availability

GFOI MGD & GOFC-GOLD Sourcebook• MGD: step-by-step advice on readily implementableapproaches for REDD+ MRV– Intended for technical decision makers and policy
colleagues in REDD+ countries, as well as their partners ininternational agencies, multilateral and bilateralprogrammes.

• Sourcebook: an annually updated review of science
related to REDD+ MRV• They are complementary – use them together toprovide estimates of REDD+ activities consistent with
IPCC Guidance as required by the UNFCCC.

Rationale of REDDcompass• Collates guidance, training resources and tools
consistent with the GFOI MGD in one location• Presents REDD+ MRV in a step-by-step
approach through a series of actions• Provides access to the most appropriate
guidance, decision trees and training
material/tool aligned with each action• Enables users to mark actions as complete,identify priority areas and training needs

Guiding you through REDD+

Aims of REDDcompass• Decision Support• Guidance• Training• Tools
For using remote sensing and ground-based data in REDD+ MRV
