OFAC offers a suite of technical assistance tools and services to support protected area management and landscape-level conservation planning.
1. Evaluation of Protected Area Management Effectiveness (PAME): Using the IMET tool, OFAC helps collect, organize, and visualize available data from a protected area to facilitate analysis and inform decision-making for planning, management, and operations.
2. Spatial Monitoring of Conservation Landscapes: Through spatial analyses, OFAC supports the identification of territorial dynamics occurring within key conservation landscapes.
3. Identification and Characterization of OECMs: OFAC provides guidance to countries in identifying and characterizing potential Other Effective Area-Based Conservation Measures (OECMs), tailored to national contexts and aligned with IUCN criteria.
