1. Context2. Objectives3. Activities4. Budget and actors
Specific objectives of this REDD+ project Create a technical and dialogue platform at regional level to share
experiences and good practices Support countries in their readiness process for REDD+ mechanism by
compiling and analyzing existing data and methodologies Build capacities while improving methodologies and techniques to
assess reduction of emissions due to deforestation and degradation Develop a decision making tool to help assessing the impact of policies
and measures on climate change and on socio-economical development
Guiding principles: Transparency Regional cooperation Respect of National Policies and Sovereignty Synergies with other REDD+ regional initiatives
Outline
1. Context2. Objectives3. Activities4. Budget and actors
Activity 1: Assessment of forest cover and stocks
Identifying and compiling existing data and methodologies on forest cover evolution and forest carbon stocks
Evaluation of available methodologies (cost-benefit, conformity with IPCC good practices guidance)
Create a cooperative framework for knowledge sharing
Build countries capacities in terms of forest cover and stocks monitoring through the creation of working groups.
Outcomes• Improved methodologies and capacities in terms of forest cover and stocks monitoring• Support to countries forest emissions inventory (UNFCCC type)• Reinforcement of technical cooperation among countries on those subjects
Activity 2: Improve the deforestation/degradation dynamic understanding
Identify main deforestation/degradation drivers and underlying causes.
Compile existing quantitative and spatial data within a regional database
Identify needs in terms of data collection and capacity building to complement and update the database
Reinforce regional dialogue on transnational dynamics of deforestation/degradation
Outcomes: • Improve the understanding, monitoring and management of transnational deforestation and forest
degradation dynamics.• A regional database on main drivers of deforestation/degradation.• Reinforced capacities and information in order to feed national reference emission levels and
support the assessment of socio-economical impact of policies and measures
Activity 3: Improve modeling capacities to help decision-making process
Initiate a scientific cooperation platform on modelling
Reinforce regional modelling capacities
Develop tools to help policy decision-makers estimate the impact of development policies, measure forest carbon emissions and socio-economical development.
Outcomes: • Strenghtened cooperation between universities and research centers on land use change and
socio-economical development modeling• A decision making tool to help monitoring and managing REDD+ mechanism implementation in
countries• Reinforced capacities on modeling
