The UN-REDD Programme assists developing countries to prepare and implement national REDD+ strategies. Designed collaboratively by a broad range of stakeholders, national UN-REDD Programmes are informed by the technical expertise of FAO, UNDP and UNEP. Priority is given to developing sustainable national approaches that promote equitable outcomes and ensure that countries use reliable methodologies to assess emission reductions.
The first nine UN-REDD Programme pilot countries are:
In Africa: Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania and Zambia
In Asia and the Pacific: Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and Viet Nam
In Latin America and the Caribbean: Bolivia, Panama and Paraguay
To date, eight of the nine national programmes have been presented to the UN-REDD Programme Policy Board and had their budget allocations approved. The Programme has also welcomed 18 other partner countries to be observers to its Policy Board, and has given them access to many other benefits of the Programme, such as networking, participation in regional workshops and knowledge sharing, facilitated by the Programme’s interactive online workspace.
UN-REDD partner countries: Argentina, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, Central African Republic, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Kenya, Mexico, Nepal, Nigeria, the Philippines, Republic of Congo, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka and Sudan.
