Additionally, regional networks for resistance monitoring and management have been established, which are supporting the training of national technicians in resistance monitoring.

Such a mechanism should be able to monitor and ensure surveillance of capital markets and international financial operations.

Good practice may include monitoring of a sample of projects in a bundle.

(iii) The extent to which tools to improve monitoring and oversight of resettlement have been adopted

The Initiative facilities collect vegetation and temperature data to identify trends in species diversity and temperature and assess and predict losses in biodiversity.

For the time being, the monitoring of the diseases caused by the chemically contaminated foodstuffs is not in place, because such contaminations belong to the group of chronic, long term contamination that in most cases show their consequences only after prolonged exposure, and there are no preconditions for monitoring them (TDI, NOEL) in spite of the fact that SZO has been pointing out more and more that this is needed.
