Production and access to high quality data facilitate policy development and support reporting of countries under various policy instruments at national, regional and international levels. This chapter provides an overview of data management and forest mapping initiatives, as well as datasharing policies, in selected countries in East and Southern Africa. It also highlights challenges and opportunities regarding data management and provides recommendations for ongoing improvement. The chapter is based on information collected in five countries (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia and Mozambique) covered by the Observatory of Forests of East and Southern Africa (OFESA), an initiative led by the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR).
