The EU REDD Facility supported Fauna and Flora International (FFI) to document lessons learnt from piloting REDD+ at local level in Vietnam. A national workshop organised by FFI, the Vietnam REDD+ Office and other organisations and agencies also piloting REDD+ at local level gathered lessons learnt from pilot projects around the country.

Exploring synergies between the FLEGT VPA legality definition and REDD+ safeguards in Vietnam

10 February 2015/by EU REDD Facility

The project explored synergies between processes to develop a FLEGT Voluntary Partner Agreement (VPA) timber legality definition and REDD+ safeguards in Vietnam. The development of a VPA timber legality definition and REDD+ safeguards in countries involved in both FLEGT VPA and REDD+ processes, such as Vietnam, creates opportunities for complementarities.

About the EU REDD Facility

The EU REDD Facility supports countries in improving land-use governance as part of their efforts to slow, halt and reverse deforestation. It also supports the overall EU effort to reduce its contribution to deforestation in developing countries. The Facility focuses on countries that are engaged in REDD+, an international mechanism that incentivises developing countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from their forest and land-use sectors. The Facility is hosted by the European Forest Institute and was established in 2010.
