| Objective / Goal |
The Lao People's Democratic Republic has identified the forestry sector as a key contributor to its climate mitigation agenda through its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). The country has been engaging in REDD+ readiness since 2008, and is progressing through the readiness to demonstration phases of REDD+. Among the core barriers hindering progress with Lao’s Readiness include the coordination challenges among key actors in both public and private sectors, including between the forestry sector, agriculture, and other land use sector as well as the climate change focal point, including on monitoring and reporting of related climate financing, investment planning and private-sector engagement.The proposed Readiness project will address such barriers through: 1) formalization of coordination mechanisms; 2) development of monitoring and reporting processes; 3) preparation of a Green Climate Fund (GCF) climate investment plan for the forestry and REDD+ sectors; and 4) measures to enhance private sector engagement in financing and implementation of the REDD+ strategy. |
