The program builds on the previous project “𝐸𝑛ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑉𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑢𝑠 𝑃𝑜𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑦 𝐼𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑛 𝐵𝑎𝑚𝑏𝑜𝑜: 𝐷𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑝𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑎 𝐻𝑎𝑟𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑖𝑧𝑒𝑑 𝑆𝑦𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑚 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝐶𝑜𝑚𝑚𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑦-𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝐼𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝐵𝑎𝑚𝑏𝑜𝑜 𝑅𝑒𝑠𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑅𝑒𝑔𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑃ℎ𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑝𝑝𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑠”. It aims to:

🎍 Scale-out the harmonized community-based bamboo inventory in 11 regions (CAR, R3, R4A, R4B, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, R11, R12, R13)

🎍 Establish partnerships and build the capacity of partner institutions and stakeholders on the harmonized bamboo inventory system

🎍 Document lessons learned, and experiences gained in all activities towards scaling out the bamboo inventory system to serve as benchmark for project monitoring and evaluation of the project

🎍 Facilitate the enhancement and roll-out of the mobile application and web dashboard for the bamboo inventory protocol to provide holistic, reliable, and up-to-date statistics on bamboo resources in the country

🎍 Advocate for the institutionalization of the community-based bamboo inventory system and other policy recommendations
