PROJECT DESCRIPTION 

The REDD+ mechanism is a mechanism to create incentives to protect, better manage and wisely use forest resources, in line with the global fight against climate change. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment is now taking the lead to develop a National Framework for REDD+ that includes the policy, legal and institutional components for REDD+, exploring and providing recommendations on sustainable financing mechanism for REDD+ implementation, as well as improving capacity and stakeholder participation in REDD+ management. The framework will build upon on-going best practices being undertaken in managing the forest, and will enable decision makers to make informed decisions related to REDD+ based on national and international circumstances, taking various costs and benefits into consideration. Activities carried out through this project must ‘do no harm’, and contribute to improving livelihoods.  The rationale behind introducing a REDD+ mechanism is to make protection of forest and carbon stocks a viable option.

The project will be implemented by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, (NRE). Component 3 of this initiative will result in a proposed Sustainable Financing Mechanism for REDD+ Implementation, to be endorsed by the already established National Committee on REDD+. Consultant(s) for component 3 is needed to implement the scope of works, activities and provide the deliverables in its entirety, as outlined in this document.

Consultant(s) are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the TOR for the Component 3, so that the whole and individual scope of work for Component 3 is understood.
