Although at an early stage, the project has made good progress in initiating implementation and procuring a number of key packages, including communications equipment and fire engines for forest fire centers, seed quality and analysis equipment, forest pest and disease monitoring laboratories, mobile laboratories supporting reforestation, siting of fire surveillance equipment, as well as evaluating the current fire danger rating system. In addition. consultant contracting is underway to establish the methodology for defining project indicator baselines and targets, as reflected in the Results Framework.
