FUNAB WB Mozambique: Technical support for REDD+ Readiness

Funder: Fundo Nacional do Ambiente (FUNAB)

Project Timeline: This project was completed in April 2016.

Country: Mozambique

Program Areas: Ecosystem Services and Forestry & Natural Resource Management

Like many other developing countries, Mozambique is exploring how it can reduce greenhouse gas emissions related to land use. The country is also eager to participate in global Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) efforts, which provide countries financial incentives for sustainably managing their forests. As part of that effort, Winrock is providing technical assistance to Mozambique to help identify drivers of deforestation and forest degradation and to develop strategies to address the problem.
