Introduction

« ENHANCING INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITIES ON REDD+ ISSUES FOR SUSTAINABLE FOREST MANAGEMENT IN THE CONGO BASIN ». A response of « forets » countries of COMIFAC space on REDD+ issues since 2008

• In

In 2007 2007 , partie ies to to the UNFC FCCC adopted the concept of

• f comp

mpensation ion for develop loping ing countries to to reduce deforestation ion and and reduce carbon emis ission ions in in the atmos mosphere

• Concept originally called Reducing Emissions from Deforestation (RED)
• Now includes the reduction of forest degradation and promote conservation, sustainable

management of forests and enhancement of carbon stocks

• Today REDD + (Réducing émissions of deforestation and degradation of forest issues).

Summary of key support CSOs

• 1. Support CEFDHAC (REPAR, REPALEAC,

REFADD, REJEFAC) and networks

• Adoption of common positions of the

various networks

• Declaration of civil society on REDD +
• 2. Involvement of civil society in the

negotiations sessions preparations of GTCC

• 3. Involvement of civil society in the RESA
• 4. Training tools for the development of

REDD + projects

• 5. Involvement and CEFDHAC in raising

awareness about REDD + at the national level

Exemple : CEFDHAC Support

Task 1 : Strengthen communication tools for REDD + networks CEFDHAC regional and national 1.1 Define the involvement of different target groups strategy at regional and national level 1.2 Develop the toolbox of communication on REDD + to a target audience identified 1.3 Broadcast Equipment Information Communication and Education (IEC ) on REDD + at the regional level and in the six countries covers by the engagement strategy Tache 2 : Facilitate consultations on REDD+ issues 2.1 Organize and facilitate a first series of regional and national workshops on REDD + issues 2.2 Contribute to the preparation of policy statements closely with network representatives CEFDHAC 2.3 . Provide technical assistance and advice to representatives of networks of CEFDHAC for implementing strategies to engage policymakers in discussions on REDD +
