The EU REDD Facility supported the Renovated REDD+ Climate Working Group (GTCRR) to strengthen civil society engagement in REDD+ in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). It helped develop a guide on civil society consultations, which was used by the Congolese civil society to reach consensus on their contributions to the forest policy reform process.
En colaboración con el Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible de Colombia y ONF Andina, el Centro REDD de la UE (EU REDD Facility) facilita el diálogo sobre los retos técnicos y financieros de la forestería comunitaria en Colombia. La forestería comunitaria sostenible puede tener un papel clave en la lucha contra la deforestación.
In collaboration with the Colombian Ministry of the Environment and Sustainable Development and ONF Andina, the EU REDD Facility facilitates dialogue on the technical and financial challenges of community forestry in Colombia. Sustainable community forestry can play a key role in fighting deforestation.
The EU REDD Facility works with non-state actors to define the scope and develop a methodology for independent monitoring of REDD+ (IM REDD) in the Republic of the Congo. Independent monitoring, or IM, is an audit-style assessment of compliance with legal and/or socioeconomic and environmental norms in the forest and land-use sectors. It is undertaken by independent third parties, with a view to constructively engage with public authorities and the private sector.
The Ministry of Planning and Investment of Vietnam, through its Central Institute for Economic Management, and the EU REDD Facility mapped and analysed planned public investments (2016-2020) in land use in the five provinces of the Central Highlands region. This innovative research looked at the main sources of finance and their role in supporting the objectives of Vietnam’s National REDD+ Action Plan (NRAP).
Improved forest governance is key to addressing deforestation and forest degradation. Bottom-up approaches that have focused on solving specific issues on land-use governance or deforestation-free commodity production benefit from initiatives that bring visibility, support and competence to forest and land-use governance, such as FLEGT and REDD+ processes.
The EU REDD Facility, together with the Climate Policy Initiative, the UN-REDD programme and IMPACTUM, conducted a study on land-use finance in Côte d’Ivoire to measure progress and identify opportunities to increase funding towards the implementation of REDD+ objectives.
The EU REDD Facility supported the development of a framework of independent monitoring that integrates aspects of both forest governance (FLEG) and REDD+ together in the province of Maï Ndombe in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The densely forested northern Likouala Department of the Republic of the Congo lies deep in the Congo Basin. Here, residents from a local community were happy one year because favourable agricultural conditions had produced tonnes of surplus corn. Villagers were keen to get the produce to market, but there was one major obstacle. They didn’t have a truck for transporting the corn from their village to the market.
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.
