Workshop on "Improvement of Monitoring system for logging operation plan through steady operation of PNG-FRIMS" on 3rd June 2016

The Project workshop of the Capacity Development Project for Operationalization of PNG Forest Resource Information Management System (PNG-FRIMS) for Addressing Climate Change was held on the 3rd June, 2016 in the Boardroom of the headquarters of the PNG Forest Authority (PNGFA) in Port Moresby. This workshop focused on one of the project outputs, "Improvement of Monitoring system for logging operation plan through steady operation of PNG-FRIMS". The objectives of the workshop were 1) to disseminate the current progress and 2) to examine effective use of tool, information and system to improve the monitoring system.

Participants in the workshop included officers from PNGFA HQ, Area Office – Southern and West New Britain, Milne Bay Provincial Forest Office, JICA PNG Office and Japanese experts of the Project.

At the beginning, Mr Goodwill Amos, Acting Managing Director of the National Forest Service of the PNGFA congratulated the project team for making progress in the Project and expressed his further expectation for the Project.

Subsequently, a JICA expert made a presentation on the progress of the Project and the objectives of the workshop. This was followed by some counterparts making presentations on 1) Current status and issues for monitoring of logging operation, 2) Introduction of new spatial information and new tool, 3) achievement of the GPS (Global Positioning System)/GIS (Geographic Information System) training and 4) example on use of new spatial information.

Thereafter, group discussions were conducted in order to discuss effective method for monitoring of logging operation. In the group discussions, participants discussed how they can address the above mentioned current issues on monitoring of logging operation based on 1) current available spatial information and tool and 2) improved skill through the training. After the group discussions, some effective methods were reported and further deployment of appropriate tool and data was also suggested.
