Selected recommendations

Uruguay must expand the Early Dialogue process and awareness activities on REDD+ with key stakeholders, in particular with civil society, including afro- descendants and Mestizo/indigenous people - Charrúas, as most vulnerable groups. Provide additional information on participation of afro-descendants and Mestizo/Indigenous Peoples- Charrúas in governance mechanisms. As appropriate, on possible applying of the Free, Prior, Informed Consultation. Provide additional information on interlinked livelihoods, traditional knowledge and practices of afro-descendants and Mestizo/Indigenous People with Forest and Land Use. Review the amount allocated to activities of capacity building and full participation of afro-descendant and Mestizo/Indigenous People in REDD governance mechanisms and other key activities. The RPP must include a proposal to realize an impact assessment of strategic

• ptions, with identification of appropriate measures to mitigate negative impacts.
