  • Project description
    The REDD+ Community Carbon Pools Programme aims to: 1. Develop national REDD+ policies that strengthen community participation and the role of local governments in forest management. 2. Develop sub-national REDD+ procedures and regulations in four pilot sites with active civil society participation. 3. Establish Community Carbon Pools, with benefit sharing mechanisms, based on community forest tenure in four pilot sites. 4. Ensure that High Conservation Value Forests (HCVF) are protected in pilot project landscapes. The project is designed to connect with emerging national mechanisms around benefit sharing and MRV, as are being developed in Vietnam under UN‐REDD guidance. REDD+ activities will be integrated with Community Forestry Management (CFM) and based on Forest Land Allocation (FLA) mechanisms in Kon Plong District, Kon Tum Province, Vietnam
