As countries work to meet their national commitments to restoring degraded landscapes, it is important that all forest and landscape restoration (FLR) interventions have manageable monitoring systems in place to assess progress towards specific goals, support adaptive management and ensure transparency.

- International and regional organizations and donors
- National governments
- Private sector
- Non-governmental organizations (NGOs)
- Research institutes and universities
