Good practices in sample-based area estimation
14/02/2024
This paper seeks to enable donors, academia, and countries that currently use or want to use sample-based area estimation (SBAE) for generating activity data for REDD+ or for other national or international reporting purposes, to delve into current good practice and existing literature, as well as gain a better understanding of the most pressing research needs in the area. The paper moreover will give non-experts an overview of area estimation, as well as its applications and limitations.
