New Benefit Distribution System report released: "Involving local actors in REDD+ benefit choices"

The UN-REDD Programme in Vietnam commissioned SNV to develop suitable procedures for participatory selection of REDD+ benefits. The SNV team conducted a total of fifteen pilots in seven villages chosen to represent a variety of conditions characteristic of forest communities in Lam Dong province, Vietnam.

The team developed the REDD+ activity as an innovative approach for participatory selection of REDD+ benefits. The REDD+ activity provides a simple procedure to communicate key parameters of REDD+ to local people and to facilitate collective choices about the kinds and timing of benefits. The full report is now available, alongside of a 2-page summary under the ‘Publications’ tab.
