Ecuador y Colombia iniciaron con el Centro REDD de la UE un diagnóstico participativo para anticiparse a las nuevas políticas y requerimientos de los mercados importadores de cacao. El objetivo es disponer de un sistema nacional de información para el monitoreo del riesgo de deforestación de las cadenas de valor del cacao.
In collaboration with the EU REDD Facility, Ecuador and Colombia started a participatory diagnosis to anticipate the policy developments and future requirements of cocoa-importing markets. The aim is to build a national information system to monitor deforestation of cocoa value chains.
With the ambition of developing a sustainable palm oil sector, Congo committed in 2016 to the African Palm Oil Initiative (APOI), this flagship initiative of Tropical Forest Alliance (TFA) 2020. The TFA involves 10 countries in West and Central Africa, as well as key palm oil consumers, businesses, traders and producers, civil society, and groups representing local communities and indigenous peoples.
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 EU REDD Facility worked with the Government of Indonesia to assess the feasibility of linking information on licences for mining, plantations and forestry with data on revenues in the Government of Indonesia licensing information system. The study led to recommendations for piloting the integration of data on revenue into the licensing system in two districts in Jambi.
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.
