The Observatoire du Riz (Rice Observatory) in Madagascar provides market information to support decision making around rice, a critical crop. It collects price and other data weekly and shares it with the Consultation Platform for Rice Commodity Chain Steering to facilitate dialogue. This information was instrumental in anticipating and managing crises to stabilize rice prices and availability. However, the system primarily benefits larger stakeholders and government, while small farmers have limited participation and influence over decisions.

Regional modelling for REDD+ project development: the case of the Suruí Fores...CIFOR-ICRAF
Credible baseline setting and accurate and transparent Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) of results are key conditions for successful REDD+ projects. In this presentation, Gabriel Carrero from IDESAM explains the process of regional spatial and non-spatial modeling for determining a baseline in the Surui Forest Carbon Project.
Gabriel Carrero gave this presentation on 8 March 2012 at a workshop organised by CIFOR, ‘Measurement, Reporting and Verification in Latin American REDD+ Projects’, held in Petropolis, Brazil. The workshop aimed to explore important advances, challenges, pitfalls, and innovations in REDD+ methods — thereby moving towards overcoming barriers to meeting MRV requirements at REDD+ project sites in two of the Amazon’s most important REDD+ candidate countries, Peru and Brazil.
