Independent Forest Monitoring (IFM) Training Materials
Over the last decade, a number of organisations have provided training in Independent Forest Monitoring (IFM) and developed manuals and other materials to support this training. The materials presented here are a consolidation of these materials, presented as a set of PowerPoint presentations, group exercises, and handouts. These materials are designed to be downloaded individually to suit particular training needs or the duration of a training course (see curriculum and suggested timetables), and also to be adapted to local circumstances. For this reason and to make them faster to download they contain very few images or local content.
The materials are aimed at civil society organisations and other practitioners of IFM in order that they can provide high-quality training workshops. They are designed primarily to be downloaded and used by trainers, although trainees or participants are also welcome to download them. They also provide a useful reference for anyone involved in IFM to understand more about particular aspects they might be interested in.
The materials are grouped into six modules, within which there are sections and then individual downloads. Modules A and F are to support the modalities of a training course, with model application forms and evaluation forms, for example. The main training materials modules (B to E) include learning objectives to help describe their purpose.
The curriculum describes all the modules, learning objectives, and a synopsis of each PowerPoint presentation, training exercise or handout. We have provided three sample timetables to assist with structuring your training.
