To achieve these results, the project is organized in five components:

1 - Readiness Organization and Consultation 2 - REDD+ Strategy Preparation 3 - Emissions Reference Level / Forest Reference Level 4 - Forest and Safeguards Monitoring Systems 5 - M&E Framework and Grant Management

GREEN There are significant advances YELLOW There are advances, but there is still work to be done RED There is no progress

Component Subcomponent Progress 1:

Organization and Consultations for the preparation 1a: National management mechanisms for REDD +

1b: Consultation, dissemination and social participation 2: Preparation of the REDD + strategy 2a: Evaluation on land use, the causal factors of changes in land use, forest law, policy and management 2b: REDD+ Strategy options 2c: Execution framework 2d: Social and Environmental Impacts 3: Reference Level 4: Forest monitoring system and information on safeguards 4a: National forest monitoring system 4b: Information system of safeguards, co-benefits and other impacts.

  • C2. National REDD+ Strategy Preparation

Strategic options to address the drivers

  • 1. Strengthen the legal and institutional framework for the conservation
  • f Natural heritage and the sustainable use of natural resources
  • 2. Establish, strengthen and implement public policies to limit and/or

contain the expansion of the agricultural, livestock and infrastructure frontier in forested areas

  • 3. Promote natural resource management models that contribute to the

conservation and sustainable use of forests and increase forest cover

  • C3. Forest and Forest Emissions Reference Levels

Forest emissions reference level

  • On average DR’s forest emissions total 662,545 tCO2e/year
  • Based on this estimate, emissions will total on average

3,312,725 tCO2e from 2020 to 2024

  • Considering buffers and uncertainty, activities foreseen in

the ERP will generate forests emissions reductions and removals by the order of 5,057,154 tCO2e
