How To Prepare Multi-Focal Area Projects SFM/REDD+ Projects

This seminar discusses the strategy and impacts of SFM/REDD+ projects, aiming to achieve multiple environmental benefits through improved forest management. It explores how the incentive mechanism works, along with the objectives and results framework of SFM/REDD+ projects. Lessons from early projects and existing initiatives are also highlighted.

  1. How To Prepare Multi-Focal Area ProjectsSFM/REDD+ Projects Ian Gray Natural Resources GEF Familiarization Seminar Washington, DC January 17 – 19, 2012

  2. SFM/REDD+ Strategy • Goal: achieve multiple environmental benefits from improved management of all types of forests. • Impacts: effective provisioning of forest ecosystem services and strengthened livelihoods of people dependent on the use of forest resources • How does it operate? • Investments from at least 2 GEF Focal Areas → maximizing multiple benefits • 3:1 incentive funding • Available for investments between $2 million and $30 million

  3. How The Incentive Mechanism Works STAR Resources Investments from 2+ FAs seeking multiple benefits from managing forests sustainably BD Incentive funds released in ratio of 3:1 of FA investment CC BD $1,500,000 Total Project $4,000,000 LD e.g. + SFM $1,000,000 LD $1,500,000

  4. Experience Already Growing From FAO FRA 2006

  5. SFM/REDD+ Objectives • Reduce pressure on forest resources and generate sustainable flows of forest ecosystem services • Projects may include: Forest policy (re-)formulation, forest certification, community and small-holder forestry, PES, reduced-impact logging, integrated forest fire management • Strengthen the enabling environment to reduce GHG emissions from REDD-plus • Projects may include: Competition for land use, building of technical and institutional capacities to monitor GHG emissions, testing approaches that allow for the generation of revenues from the carbon market

  6. SFM/REDD+ Results Framework Goal Objectives Outcomes Indicators Payments for ecosystem services systems established Forest area under sustainable management , separated by forest type Types and quantity of services generated through SFM Outputs National institutions certifying carbon credits National forest carbon monitoring systems in place Innovative financing mechanisms established Carbon credits generated

  7. Lessons From Early Projects • Wide range of forest situations applicable • Landscape level approach • Best projects have benefits from forests at core • Synergies – whole greater than sum of parts • A ‘bolt-on’ SFM component does not work • Forest dependents & livelihoods • How linked to developing GEBs • Importance of on-the-ground presence in field activities • Inter-agency coordination • PES becoming common – use STAP guidance

  8. Lessons From Early Projects • Be clear what issues the project will address • Baseline – often presented as if FD is absent • NFPs, R-PPs, inventories • Indicators of impacts and outcomes • Remember the carbon benefits • Especially BD/LD projects

  9. Existing SFM/REDD+ Projects • 13 projects and 3 programs • $45 million allocated from incentive • Mixed landscape interventions
