We have an extensive team of international and national REDD+ related experts with broad experience working on all REDD+ thematic areas in the LAC region. We have supported readiness, project formulation, implementation, consultation, FPIC process, risk analysis, understanding and complying with different standards. We have delivered REDD+ projects in a range of countries throughout LAC, from SIDS to HFLD (High Forest cover Low Deforestation), including Argentina, Belize, Ecuador, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and two assignments in both Suriname and Honduras. We developed REDD+ concept notes and full proposals for the GCF and other entities and have supported both REDD+ preparation and implementation stages. We have carried out tenure analyses, identification of priorities, benefit sharing mechanisms, multiple benefits mapping, 3 analyses of drivers of deforestation, and delivered 5 national REDD+ strategies. These projects included over 200 processes (e.g. workshops, training) of capacity building, education, stakeholders and rightholders engagement and consultation.
Additionally, we have developed a full range of safeguarding instruments for REDD+ processes, including SESA and ESMF. All these processes were conducted with strict safeguard standards and in consultation with national stakeholders, including consulting directly with Indigenous Peoples and local communities through more than 50 workshops. We have also prepared Safeguards Information Systems (SIS) in several countries in the regions and under different institutional standards.
