  1. Social Aspects of REDD Ken MacDicken and Gelsey Bennett Forestry and Natural Resource Management Winrock International November 6, 2008

  2. Winrock’s work in REDD • Began in 1995 in Belize (Rio Bravo) and Bolivia (Noel Kempff) • Project Design Documents (PDD) • Mapping and Imagery (GIS) • Carbon stock measurements • More recently in using the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standards for Project Design

  3. Using the CCB design standards to protect community benefits • CCB design standards are intended to ensure compliance with biodiversity and community safeguards • Winrock application of CCB-Community Standards in Peru, Indonesia and Vietnam • Social analysis using participatory and sociological/anthropological tools

  4. Methods - Approach • Framework of Analysis for CCB-Community Standards: Sustainable Livelihood Framework • Assets: Financial, Human, Social, Natural, and Physical • Vulnerabilities: Shocks, Trends, and Seasonality • Transforming Structures (i.e.. government, private sector) and Processes (i.e. law, culture, institutions)

  5. Methods - Tools • Semi-structured interviews and guided conversations with stakeholders • Participatory land-use mapping • Farm/land values questionnaires • Goal: empowerment, honest opinions, gathering information for thoughtful project design

  6. Peru example • Location: along the InterOceanic Highway, Madre de Dios, Peru • Consulted with people from 20 different towns or settlements

  7. Results • Interviewees supported planting bamboo • Intercropping scheme with food or cash crops recommended by farmers • Net benefits described in plan – to be monitored during project implementation • Need for capacity building: skills to plant, harvest, and utilize bamboo

  8. Conclusion • Climate, Community and Biodiversity project design standard ensures delivery of benefits are measured/monitored • Recommendations and opinions from local population will guide project design, in particular issues regarding capacity building and trainings • Capacity building would be central for the success of the project: skills needed for proper growing, harvesting, marketing, and utilization of bamboo • Dual livelihood development/poverty reduction and biodiversity conservation goals

  9. Acknowledgements • Blue Moon Fund (Peru REDD/bamboo project support) • Asia Regional Biodiversity Conservation Program (USAID RDM/A) • Global Eco-Rescue (Indonesia)
