The Project’s development objective is to contribute to Lao PDR’s efforts to design and implement a sound national REDD+ strategy. This will help enable Lao PDR to become ready to participate in and benefit from the emerging performance-based payment system from REDD+ within the context of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. Specifically, the grant will support: a) the establishment and operation of the National REDD+ Office at DoF, b) developing a National REDD+ Strategy, c) developing REDD+ implementation approaches and benefits sharing mechanisms in coordination with other Development Partners, d) application of safeguards via the Strategic Environmental and Social Assessment (SESA) and Environmental and Social Management Framework(ESMF) processes, and e) collaboration with donors assisting in the development of Reference Emission Levels and the design of a credible monitoring system. The FCPF grant will finance some initial work on REDD+ capacity building.  Based on the activities outlined in the R-PP, some to be funded through other sources, it is expected that Lao PDR would eventually be able to participate in REDD+ carbon transactions, potentially including under the FCPF Carbon Fund.
