Since 2010, reporting has been done through the Performance Review and Assessment of Implementation System (PRAIS). The 2018 reporting process was conducted through the third generation of PRAIS, PRAIS 3. For the 2022 reporting process, the PRAIS 3 has been upgraded to bring it into line with modern systems architecture and the requests made by Parties at COP 14. PRAIS 4 offers the following improvements over PRAIS 3, among others:  A more user-friendly interface, including web-based reporting forms pre-filled with default data derived from global data sources. Information entered in the forms will be summarized in standalone country reports, downloadable and sharable outside the system.

The system also includes additional data fields specific to affected areas for strategic objectives 1 to 4;

• A centralized database to securely store and manage country submitted data;
• New functionality to ingest and manage large geospatial datasets; this will permit the user to define, for instance, the location and boundaries of land degradation hotspots or zones of voluntary land degradation neutrality (LDN) targets;
• Analytical, synthesis and visualization functions of the submitted data (expected in Fall 2022
