The Governors’ Climate & Forests (GCF) Task Force is a unique platform for collaboration among
states that work to protect tropical forests and reduce emissions from deforestation and forest
degradation (REDD+), creating strategies for a sustainable form of development. The GCF
currently consists of 22 members from 7 countries, working together to establish jurisdictional
REDD+ programs and systems that reduce emissions from deforestation and connect to different
forms of financing according to each state’s strategy. More than 25% of the world’s tropical forests
are in GCF states and provinces, including more than 75% of Brazil’s, 75% of Peru’s, and more than
half of Indonesia’s. The GCF includes states and provinces that are leading the way in building
comprehensive, jurisdiction-wide approaches to low emissions development and REDD+.

Key Results
The GCF Training Program hosted the first GCF Pan-African Meeting, entitled Strengthening
Regional Collaboration to Advance Jurisdictional REDD+ and Low-Emissions Development
in Africa in June 2014 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Participants included representatives from 8
countries in various stages of advancement in the design and implementation of jurisdictional
REDD+ programs. Modeled on the example of the successful regional networks in the GCF and
other south-south exchange platforms, the GCF pan-African meeting facilitated jurisdictional-level
focused discussion, engaging African expertise and the African REDD+ experience. The meeting
produced:
§ The Addis Ababa Roadmap for Low Carbon Development in Africa to facilitate collaboration
on Africa-specific REDD+/low emissions development design with an emphasis on co-benefits
and the rural poor.
§ A working group to lead the implementation of the Roadmap, beginning with an assessment of
country capacities for jurisdictional REDD+ in the Roadmap countries/subnational
jurisdictions.
§ Dialogue and knowledge sharing between 27 participants from 8 African countries, including:
Ethiopia (Oromia State), Nigeria (Cross River, Delta, and Ekiti States), Ivory Coast,
Mozambique, Madagascar, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, and Zambia.

2 Meeting Report
2.1 Introduction
The Governors Climate and Forests (GCF) Task Force is a unique collaboration of 22 subnational
governments from across the world leading the way in building comprehensive, jurisdiction-wide
approaches to reducing deforestation and low emissions development and includes the only
jurisdiction in the world (California) that is considering provisions that would recognize efforts to
reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) as part of its GHG
compliance system. The GCF facilitates horizontal coordination among the states and provinces, and
vertical coordination between jurisdictional programs for REDD+ and low emissions development
and the respective REDD+ and climate policy agendas at the national level.
The GCF Training Program strengthens subnational governments through the sharing of
information, capacity building, and workshops for government employees, decision-makers and
their civil society partners in each of the GCF’s member states, provinces and regions. The program
is supported by funding from the Norwegian Development Agency (Norad). Courses vary in subject
and format, and are taught in the local language of the GCF region in which they are held. A series
of regional and combined courses is being offered over the three-year period from 2013 to 2015.
For the purposes of the Training Program, GCF member states and provinces are grouped by
region to capitalize on language similarities and geographic proximity, and, more importantly, in
order to facilitate effective exchange of experiences on the various political and technical aspects of
subnational REDD+ programs and strategies at different levels and scales of development and
implementation in order to create more robust regional networks. In 2014, the GCF African
member state, Cross River State, Nigeria, hosted a pan-African meeting in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to
create a comprehensive collaborative network of cooperation on low carbon development and
jurisdictional REDD+ in Africa. This report captures the key outcomes and knowledge exchange
facilitated by the Addis Ababa meeting.
2.2 Meeting Objectives
The objectives of the meeting were to:
1. Develop a roadmap for jurisdictional REDD+ and low-emissions development in Africa;
2. Explore ways to strengthen coordination and collaboration between jurisdictional efforts
across the continent, and to draft an MOU for strategic regional cooperation in Africa;
3. Provide a forum for knowledge sharing, exchange of core competencies and best practices in
African jurisdictions, including early lessons learned and recommendations for emerging
programs;
4. Socialize the jurisdictional model among African policy-makers, using GCF member Cross
River State (Nigeria) and Oromia State (Ethiopia) as models.

2.3 Overview
27 participants from 8 African countries and 5 subnational governments convened in Addis Ababa,
Ethiopia from June 10-12, 2014, meeting around the theme: “Strengthening Regional Collaboration
to Advance Jurisdictional REDD+ and Low-Emissions Development in Africa.” The objectives of
this meeting were to provide a forum for knowledge sharing, exchange of core competencies and
best practices in African jurisdictions, including early lessons learned and recommendations for
emerging programs, as well as to develop a roadmap for jurisdictional REDD+ and low-emissions
development in Africa. The meeting was facilitated by the Governors’ Climate & Forests (GCF)
Task Force, in collaboration with Cross River State (Nigeria) a member of the GCF Task Force.
Representatives from Nigeria (Cross River State, Delta State, Ekiti State), Democratic Republic of
Congo, Ghana, Mozambique, Zambia, Madagascar, Ivory Coast, and Ethiopia attended. A full list of
participants is available in section 4.2 of the appendix.
The first day of the GCF Pan-African Meeting was devoted to knowledge sharing: the exchange of
core competencies and best practices in African jurisdictions, including early lessons learned and
recommendations for emerging jurisdictional programs. Participants presented on their country or
state’s core competencies, as well as their experience with implementing a programmatic approach
and shifting from the traditional project-by-project approach to emissions reductions. There is a real
thirst for coordination efforts, cross-jurisdictional exchange, and proliferation of successes in earlymover African jurisdictions, as well as jurisdictions outside Africa.
Amelia Chizwala Peterson (GCF Senior Research Associate & Training Lead) described the
successful regional collaboration facilitated by the GCF in Brazil, Mexico, Indonesia and Peru. This
Pan-African Meeting was a step towards promoting the same kind of cooperation among African
states through a concrete Roadmap for REDD+ and low carbon development in Africa. The
meeting was the GCF’s effort to support Cross River State, the sole African member of the GCF, by
facilitating its integration into a regional network of programs and experiences. The meeting was
designed to explore ways to strengthen coordination across the continent, provide a forum for
knowledge sharing, exchange of core competencies, and best practices in African jurisdictions, and
to socialize the jurisdictional model among African policymakers. The presentation included an
overview of GCF activities and initiatives, particularly the GCF’s work in Cross River State. For
more information about the GCF, including GCF activities and the GCF Fund, please see the GCF
presentation here.

2.4 National & Subnational Experiences & Perspectives
2.4.1 Cross River State (Nigeria)
Odigha Odigha, Chairman of the Cross River State (CRS) Forestry Commission, framed the
purpose of the meeting, stating the need for Africans to think together about how to address the
climate change crisis, protect tropical forests, and reduce poverty, especially in the context of
REDD+ programs and broader efforts to transition to low carbon economies. Previous
interventions have not benefitted Africa, but have instead benefitted the investors or other parties.
Although progress is being seen in Asia (primarily through CDM) and Latin America, there is still
great need for more positive African examples and programs, especially at this critical moment
where REDD+ is being met with exceptional levels of cynicism in Africa for failing to deliver
benefits to communities. REDD+ needs to deliver benefits: it must address the high rates of
deforestation in Africa and the high rate of poverty. REDD+ is practical and tangible, and can
deliver real benefits on the ground. Africa must therefore come together to develop tangible
strategies to fulfill this need, that is, a roadmap to guide Africans in the development of
programmatic, or jurisdiction-wide, approaches to REDD+. Does “jurisdictional” describe
“programmatic,” or are they two different things?
Cross River State, Nigeria is a member of the UN-REDD Programme, the FCPF, and the GCF.
This international engagement has enhanced the development of REDD+ in CRS and the state has
become a model for best practices. Much work is being done across the state, particularly around
carbon assessment in all forests and the restoration of degraded areas.
For more information, see the Cross River State, Nigeria presentation here.
2.4.2 Ekiti State, Nigeria
Ekiti State Director of Forestry, Felix Akinluyi gave a brief presentation on the condition of
forests in Ekiti, a state that will be completely deforested in the next four years if current rates of
deforestation proceed unabated. Of its total landmass of 5806.58sq km, forests cover about
3,969.38sq km of the state (297.20sq km is forest reserve). A total of 198.11sq km of the reserve
forest areas are productive high forest, while the remaining 99.09sq km is derived savannah, which is
relatively unproductive in terms of timber yield.
The primary drivers of deforestation include poaching on easily accessible terrain and economic
pressures stemming from state revenue targets. The state government has implemented some
programs for reforestation, including: distributing free tree seedlings to interested tree growers and
encouraging private tree growers to plant seedlings distributed through adequate monitoring, and
reforesting state forest reserves. Ekiti state is also consulting with partners such as the UNDP on
assessing forest potentials. The government is also reviewing obsolete forestry laws and forest
governance structures with the support of the EU and the FAO, including budgetary provisions that
will adequately address the imbalance between deforestation and regeneration.
For more information, see Ekiti State’s presentation here.

2.4.3 Delta State, Nigeria
Felicia Adun, Permanent Secretary of the Delta State Ministry of Environment rounded out
the Nigerian subnational perspective with a presentation underscoring the urgency of climate change
mitigation to prevent the demise of coastal lands along with the livelihoods of coastal land dwellers.
Delta is a coastal state located on the Nigeria Delta that covers 17,440sq km of mountain swamps,
rainforests, and savannah. The state’s forests have been significantly undermined by various
destructive activities. 89% of local people engage in the use of forest resources for the purposes of
timber, fuel wood, and exploitation to collect non-timber products, among other wood-intensive
uses. Delta possesses some of Nigeria’s largest oil reserves. Climate change has already had a
devastating impact on the Delta, particularly through flooding in 2012 that significantly reduced the
coastal area and wiped out the livelihoods of almost a third of the state’s population.
Because of its vulnerability to climate change-induced sea level rise, the Delta State Government has
developed multi-sectorial climate change policies that are designed to tackle the problem in a holistic
manner. A diverse set of projects is underway in the energy, transportation, and sanitation sectors.
On an international scale, Delta State is active in climate change activities through the R-20 Regions
of Climate Action1 and in UNFCCC activities.
Delta State has adopted a territorial approach to climate change (TACC), a strategy that pervades its
climate change policy, an integrated territorial plan. This approach seeks to reduce the vulnerability
of local communities to climate change through low-carbon development. Five pilot projects are
underway, including the development of locally fabricated eco-stoves or biogas digesters that
convert kitchen waste into cooking gas. A number of REDD+ activities are also underway in Delta
State: it is leading the way in implementing forestry regulations, has advanced plans to institute a
moratorium on lumbering in sensitive ecological zones, two communities (Uzere and Ibusa) have
been selected for REDD+ activities, and the state recently inaugurated its REDD+
Desk/Secretariat.

2.4.4
Democratic Republic of Congo
The Democratic Republic of Congo covers 234 million ha, with 155 million forested ha (140
Gt CO2e). The DRC is the first country in Africa with a validated REDD+ Readiness Preparation
Proposal, validated FIP Investment Plan, approved regulatory framework for REDD+ projects, a
The R20-Regions of Climate Action is a non-profit organization founded in 2010 by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
and other global leaders in cooperation with the United Nations. The R20 is a coalition of partners led by regional
governments that work to promote and implement projects that are designed to produce local economic and
environmental benefits in the form of reduced energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions; strong local
economies; improved public health; and new green jobs. See www.regions20.org

National REDD+ Registry, and a National Forest Monitoring System. Additionally, the DRC is
among the first countries in the world to have a national REDD+ trust fund, national REDD+
standards, and a national strategic framework based on national consensus on drivers of
deforestation and degradation. The country recently received additional FCPF preparation funding
to finalize its R-Package, and SESA/ESMF. Guy Bagalwa Kajemba, Coordinator (National and
Local participation of civil society in jurisdictional programs & Program Design Secretariat (DRC)),
and Tracy Johns, Director of Jurisdictional Programs for Wildlife Works (DRC) presented an
update on the inclusion of the DRC in the Carbon Fund pipeline.
The DRC sees the ER Program as a key vehicle to achieving its National Development
Goals, which include: double digit average annual growth in GDP, eradication of poverty by 2025,
intermediate human development index by 2025, and millennium development goals reached by
2020. The ER Program is also essential to the implementation of the National REDD+ Framework
Strategy, which includes specific targets, including: forest cover stabilized at 63.5% in national
territory, zero net deforestation by 2030, and a 56% reduction in emissions).
The Mai Ndombe project consists of 12 million ha, 9.2 million ha of which are forested. The area is
threatened by growing demand for charcoal, timber, and food, in addition to increased accessibility
to the forests. The ER Program’s goal is to be a model provincial green development program that
provides alternatives and rewards performance to address the challenges of climate change, poverty
reduction, natural resource conservation and protection of biodiversity. The program will track the
following objectives and indicators: climate (change in CO2 emissions), biodiversity (change in forest
cover, target species), rights (change in tenure security in the community, concessions), livelihoods
(change in millennium development goal indicators), and governance (change in institutional
capacity). The ER program will build upon and integrate the existing activities implemented by civil
society and other organizations in the jurisdiction, including FIP, CBFF, Novacel, WWC, and WWF.
To date, over 100 diverse organizations have participated and contributed to the creation of the
DRC’s ER-PIN.
For more information, see the DRC’s presentation here.
2.4.5
Ghana
Over the past century Ghana’s economic growth, largely driven by agriculture and timber
production, has come at a huge cost to its forests. Yaw Kwakye, Manager in the Climate Change
Unit/National REDD+ Secretariat of Ghana outlined how Ghana’s R-PP identifies cocoa
farming in particular as the dominant driver of deforestation, followed by other agricultural
commodities and by illegal logging. Over-harvesting of timber, weak forest regulation and
enforcement, and a reduction in the number of trees that farmers keep in agricultural landscapes has
culminated in the decline of timber production and the loss of forest ecosystem services. By
addressing these drivers, Ghana aims to secure the future of its forests and to significantly improve
income and livelihood opportunities for farmers and forest users.
Ghana recognizes that tackling deforestation requires a cross-sectorial, multi-institutional, publicprivate approach on a landscape scale. The country is therefore working through the Carbon Fund
to explore a programmatic approach. The Ghanaian program seeks to significantly reduce emissions
driven by the expansion of cocoa into forest areas and illegal logging. This program’s strengths
6
include: commitment and diversity of stakeholders, political and private sector support, alignment of
REDD+ and FIP, 2 thorough understanding of drivers, strong focus on landscape planning,
strengthening forest law enforcement, and enhancing forest integrity. Additionally, the Ghana
program is piloting a unique “eco-zone” approach with a forest and commodity focus, while
coupling access to farming resources with the adoption of climate-smart practices, ultimately
resulting in emissions reductions. Through this unique approach, the program provides the
following learning opportunities for testing: (1) how to build sustainable commodity supply chains in
economies that are heavily dependent on a leading agricultural commodity, and (2) how to change
the negative relationship between forests and small-holder tree crop/agricultural systems.
For more information, see Ghana’s presentation here.
2.4.6 Zambia
Davies Kashole, Forestry Extension Officer (Zambia Ministry of Lands, Natural Resources
& Environmental Protection) presented a brief status update on jurisdictional REDD+ in
Zambia. Zambia consists of 49.9 million ha of forest cover and has about 2.8 billion tons of carbon
stored in forests. Already a member of the UN-REDD Programme, Zambia has made inroads in
developing a national strategy or action plan, developing a national forest reference emission level
and/or forest reference level, adopting a robust and transparent national forest monitoring system,
and creating a system to determine how safeguards will be addressed and respected.
Zambia’s MRV development is one of the most advanced on the continent. Through a pilot
jurisdictional REDD+ program for MRV, Zambia has completed land cover mapping for 1990,
2000, and 2010 that provides accurate measures for GHG inventory and land cover change, setting
the reference emission level and enhancing of forest inventory results. This mapping was made
possible by collaboration between the Forestry Department, National Remote Sensing Centre,
Surveyor General and Regional Center for Mapping of Resources for Development. Additionally, a
forest monitoring system has been developed. Eleven GIS units have been set up in all provinces,
including the headquarters in Lusaka, and multi-sectorial teams have now been trained in GHG
accounting, methodology, and data collection. Carbon stock assessments have been studied and an
MRV system and web portal for easy access to information on Zambia is being developed.
Currently, the forest inventory conducted under Integrated Land Use Assessment (ILUA) is in
process to collect all data for carbon pools.3
The Zambian program seeks, among other objectives: to increase the capacity of the Forestry
Department to conduct spatial data analysis and REDD+ demonstrations, in order to assess
deforestation and provide overall policy direction; to stimulate rural economies with microfinance,
performance based payments, alternative livelihoods and income generating activities in order to
improve and increase household incomes; to increase the area of forest cover by reducing
deforestation through integrated approaches to forest and land management; to design, test and

implement schemes for performance based payment for environmental services to ensure financial
sustainability of the program as well as enhance overall ecosystem services; and, to pilot the
implementation of selected actions identified in the REDD+ Strategy. In order to meet these
objectives, Zambia is providing field level experience to inform the direction of national policy,
testing the institutional arrangements and implementing a plan for REDD+, developing a national
forest emissions reference level, and supporting and informing the national MRV system and its
components. The country is boldly piloting a national performance based payment system for
REDD+ as a demonstrative program at the provincial level, covering at least 700,000 ha of intact
forest, implementing deforestation mitigation strategies, and implementing safeguards including
community benefit sharing and conservation of critical biodiversity.
For more information, see Zambia’s presentation here.
2.4.7
Madagascar
Madagascar, a global biodiversity hotspot with 9.2 million ha of natural forests, is building a national
“eco-region” approach, based upon project experience. The country’s primary drivers of
deforestation include slash and burn agriculture, bush fires, and unsustainable logging and mining
activities. Bruno Rajaspera, Projects Director (Conservation International, Madagascar), Jean
Roger Rakotoarijaona, National Office for the Environment and Julia Randimbisoa, Deputy
Director, HELVETAS Swiss Inter-cooperation Madagascar outlined the status of jurisdictional
REDD+ in Madagascar. The country continues to make advances toward REDD readiness. Its RPIN was approved in 2008, but the R-PP submission was delayed due to political crisis. However,
the process is now back on track.
Madagascar’s REDD+ history has been project-focused. There have been six REDD+ pilot projects
in Madagascar since 2007, with most REDD+ efforts concentrated in the humid forest eco-region.
This region, which is a World Heritage site, has the potential for significant results due to high
carbon density and high deforestation rates. Project experiences are now being scaled up to build a
national program in Madagascar. These experiences are shaping and conceptualizing the national
approach and providing material for refinement of a national level framework (i.e. specific
methodologies, benefit sharing, community involvement, consultations, institutional arrangements,
and costs/benefits).
Several achievements have been made in the country’s emissions reference level (REL) and
monitoring systems (MRV). A preliminary national carbon stock map and emissions baseline have
been established based on existing data. The country has also validated methodologies for setting
national reference levels and the carbon stock map and emissions baseline for the humid forest ecoregion are under development. In an effort to solidify MRV, Madagascar has validated the REDD+
forest definition and MRV methodologies on a national scale, with non-carbon MRV methodologies
under development.
REDD+ projects in Madagascar are operating on the eco-regional scale so as to address biomes in
the most holistic manner that allows for attention to be paid to the diversity of each area. A national
system is not yet operational, making subnational programs a challenge to create.

2.4.8 Ivory Coast
Yao Marcel, REDD Focal Point (Ministry of Environment) and Executive Permanent
Secretary of CN-REDD+ in Ivory Coast presented on the status of jurisdictional REDD+ and
low-emissions development in the Ivory Coast. The Ivory Coast, which shares a border with Ghana
and is also a major producer of cocoa, has seen significant rates of deforestation and forest
degradation. Since 2011, the government has actively engaged in REDD+ activities, including
reforming agricultural practices, becoming a UN-REDD Programme partner country, actively
working on REDD+ readiness, restoring degraded forests, bringing sustainable energy to
households, creating a REDD+ Working Group, and participating in the EU’s Forest Law
Enforcement Governance and Trade (FLEGT) program. Major deforestation drivers include
agricultural practices (cocoa) and charcoal production.
However, the government of Ivory Coast is politically motivated to conserve forests and halt
deforestation. Capacity building activities are in progress, with the hopes that a comprehensive
registry will be developed soon. There are currently projects in the Sud-Comoe, Moyen Cavally, and
Bas Sassandra regions.
For more information, see the Ivory Coast’s presentation here.
2.4.9
Ethiopia
Ethiopia has one of the fastest growing economies in the world with a GDP per capita of about
USD $380 (2010) and a population of 80 million (2010). The country is made up of a mosaic
landscape that is divided by the Rift Valley. Ethiopia’s strong political commitment to integrated
planning and sustainable development is evident in the country’s plan to achieve middle-income
status by 2025 through a Climate Resilient Green Economy (CRGE). Ethiopia has also been
engaged in REDD+ Readiness since 2008 and participates in the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility
(FCPF). It officially launched its REDD+ Readiness Phase in January 2013 (expected to last 3
years).
Tesfaye Gonfa Negassa, Senior Forestry Expert at Oromia Forest and Wildlife Enterprise
(OFWE) provided an overview of the REDD+ in Oromia State. Oromia State contains about 61%
of Ethiopia’s forest cover, about 2.03 million ha of high forest) and is the largest state in the
federally governed country. The state shares borders with all Ethiopian states, except Tigray, and
shares international borders with Sudan and Kenya. The forest resources of Oromia are especially
important to Ethiopia; 42 out of the 58 National Forest Priority Areas in the country are located in
Oromia.
In Ethiopia, the REDD+ concept first emerged in 2007 in a feasibility study for the Bale Mountains,
which was commissioned by OFWE and Farm Africa/SOS Sahel. In May 2013, the Ethiopian
Government recognized the Oromia REDD+ program as a national REDD+ pilot program
9
because of its size, institutional capacity, the existence of a pilot project at an advanced stage of
preparation under the VCS standards (Bale Mountain REDD+ Project), and the strong interest and
commitment of the region. Thus, the Oromia REDD+ Program is fully aligned with the national
REDD+ processes and the development of Ethiopia’s National REDD+ Strategy. After the
Ethiopian Government requested the World Bank-FCPF and BioCarbon Fund to prepare the
Oromia REDD+ Program with the support of RGN and UK-DFID, an international workshop
was convened in Hawassa in May 2013 to discuss the program design. This workshop reached an
initial consensus and buy-in from key national stakeholders. Other workshops continue to be held to
allow for the evolvement of the Oromia program concept.
The Oromia program is structured into the three phases. The design phase lasted 18 months and
included: establishing the necessary institutional arrangements, undertaking various
design/preparatory studies, producing a design synthesizing document based on the results of the
studies, and stakeholder consultations. The implementation phase will take place over a 3-5 year period
and involve the promotion of investments and policy reforms to implement the activities identified
in the previous phase. Following the first two phases will be an emission reduction phase, which will take
place for 20 years or more, lasting as long as emissions reductions are being generated. This final
phase will include preparation of periodic monitoring reports that must be verified. Performance
payments will be distributed to various stakeholders according to an agreed upon benefit-sharing
scheme when observed deforestation is lower than the baseline deforestation.
This program will use an innovative financing scheme to fund the early phase by disbursing against
the intermediate results achieved. During later phases, the program will receive payments against the
emissions reductions monitored against a baseline with robust methodologies, and independently
verified following international procedures.
The program idea note is now available after a series of technical workshops with stakeholders on
the preliminary design of the program. OFWE also conducted World Bank mission visits to various
Oromia sites, resulting in a preliminary work plan and budget for the design phase, drafted together
with the WB team. The institutional framework is also underway: a support letter for the design of
the program has been granted to OFWE from the Oromia Regional State Government, the Oromia
REDD+ Steering Committee and REDD+ Coordination have been established, and preparatory
studies have been launched. The Oromia REDD+ Program offers a diversity of benefits, including
climate, social, and ecosystem service benefits (co-benefits). There are some program risks that
should be noted, such as pressures from large-scale development projects, migration, potential interethnical conflicts around forest areas, complexity of the program, large-scale agricultural investments
in forested areas, and other variables leading to deforestation that are beyond the control of the
program.
For more information, see Ethiopia’s presentation here.
2.4.10 Mozambique
Paula Panguene, Deputy National Director for Environment Management (Mozambique
Ministry of Agriculture) presented on the status of REDD+ and low emissions development in the
coastal country of Mozambique. The country has a forested area of about 40.1 million ha.
Deforestation rates are high, but the Government of Mozambique is actively trying to slow this
10
trend. Several initiatives are ongoing toward the reduction of deforestation and land degradation.
They include a forest preservation program, a project for establishing a National forest resource
information platform (FRIP) for monitoring REDD+, and a regional MRV project.
A Japanese grant is allowing forest preservation by distributing satellite images, vehicles, survey
equipment, and computers with GIS software to the DNTF (Ministry of Agriculture) in all 10
provinces. The National Forest Resource Information Platform project, implemented at the
provincial level by the DNTF, aims to sustainably control forests and prepare for REDD+
nationwide over the course of 5 years. Finally, the SADC-GIZ regional MRV project is the result of
Mozambique being selected to test the Mopane ecosystem for MRV development design in the Tete
province. The Ministry of Coordination of Environmental Affairs (MICOA) and MINAG? have
been collaborating on this project and participating in trainings for remote sensing with other SADC
member states.
Mozambique is also actively engaged in international processes for climate and forests. In 2009, the
state adopted its R-PIN and participated in the South-South Cooperation, the National Workshop
to Share Information of the REDD+ Process, and created a REDD+ Technical Group.
Government actors, educational institutions, NGOs, and the private sector convened together for
participatory dialogue in a forum designed to facilitate inter-sectorial coordination in the pursuit of
REDD+. After a series of seminars in 2010, Mozambique began cooperating with JICA and began
working on its R-PP. The R-PP was submitted in 2011 to the technical review committee of the
Forest Carbon Partnership Facility of the World Bank, and approved in 2012. Mozambique’s first
agreement with the World Bank was signed in 2012. Mozambique has began implementing the R-PP
and passed the REDD+ Decree in 2013. In the future, Mozambique hopes to define forests,
disseminate REDD+, and establish an information platform, including SESA-Development and
EN-REDD+.

2.5 Partner Presentations
2.5.1
Horn of African Regional Environmental Centre & Network (HoA-REC&N)
Dr. Araya Asfaw, Executive Director of the Horn of African Regional Environmental Centre &
Network (HoA-REC&N) gave the keynote address to meeting participants, emphasizing the
importance of regional collaboration and region-specific solutions to global problems, particularly
climate change. HoA-REC&N is a key player in the Horn of Africa’s conservation efforts.
Established in 2006 at Addis Ababa University, it focuses on environmental issues and sustainable
development options within the Horn of Africa It facilitates, strengthens and advocates for
initiatives related to environmental conservation and natural resource management. The Network,
hosted by the Centre, has more than 40 members from 6 countries (Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya,
Somalia, South Sudan, and Sudan). The Centre and the Network link initiatives to enhance
environmental governance and management, contribute to sustainable development, and improve
livelihoods within the region.
11
Dr. Almaz Tadesse’s contribution focused on HoA-REC&N’s three primary programs: The
Climate Resilience Partnership Programme, which implements projects to advance climate change
adaption and mitigation, sustainable energy (including Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)
projects) and voluntary pro-poor carbon projects; the Social Ecological Resilience Partnership Programme
(dealing with ecosystem conservation, management and rehabilitation of degraded ecosystems); and
the Environmental Governance and Education Partnership Programme, which aspires to improve
environmental governance at the global, regional, national, and local levels, integrate environment
and sustainability in education systems, and facilitate demand driven action research.
For more information on HoA-REC&N and their programs, visit their website or see Dr. Almaz’s
presentation.
2.5.2 Environmental Services and Climate Change Programme (ESACCAP)
Ethiopia is pursuing a Climate Resilient Green Economy (CRGE), a national plan developed by the
Ministry of Forestry to promote sustainable economic development and support the country’s goal
to become a middle-income country by 2025 with zero net emissions. In order to support the
CRGE, Ethiopia needs to strengthen its infrastructure and empower MEF to be able to accurately
measure the country’s progress. Roxanne O’Connell shared on the Environmental Services and
Climate Change Programme (ESACCAP). This HoA-REC&N initiative is just one of many targeted
activities in Ethiopia to support CRGE. CRGE is a homegrown initiative with the Ministry of
Forestry and Addis Ababa University identifying the need to establish the two institutes to build
institutional capacity for the government and the private sector. The two environmental analyses
institutes established to build institutional capacity are: the Institute for Environmental Services
Certification and Accreditation (IESCA), and the Ethiopian Panel on Climate Change (EPCC).
IESCA was created after consultations with MEF identified the need to ensure that Ethiopian
organizations were conforming to internationally recognized standards, particularly regarding
environmental management. The initial priority is on GHG and MRV monitoring and evaluation,
environment auditing, and social and environmental impact analysis (SEIA).
The EPCC is designed to mirror the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) structure
but is adapted to the Ethiopian context. Currently, most research in Ethiopia is being conducted in
silos where much of the data that is collected is not shared in a formalized, coordinated manner. The
EPCC will facilitate peer review of climate research designed to increase the quality and quantity of
the research being published. The lack of publications is often a barrier for African scientists to
qualify as authors for the IPCC, limiting African engagement in global climate discussions. The
EPCC will also create a platform to link academia with international and domestic policymakers.
The EPCC will also engage various ministries.
For more information on these two HoA-REC& N initiatives, see Roxanne’s presentation here.
2.5.3
The Network Approach: Environmental Sustainability in the Horn of Africa Region
12
The Horn of Africa Regional Environmental Network (Ho-AREN) was established in 2006 to unite
academia and endogenous civil society actors that work on the protection of the environment,
sustainable development, and the promotion of improved livelihoods in the seven Horn of Africa
countries. Dr. Asmeret Kidanemariam, Network Coordinator (HoA-REN) outlined the
objectives of HoA-REN including providing a forum of collaboration for members and partners
from around the region, facilitating cooperation in the environmental governance of the region, and
kick starting environmental partnership programs at the grassroots level. The Ho-AREN
Constitution advocates for improved natural resource management, protection of important
biodiversity reserves, and the mitigation of the effects of climate change to avoid ecological collapse
and a breakdown of the social fabric. The Ethiopian Chapter of HoA-REN, the largest in the
network, is focused on bringing like-minded networks closer together for deeper cooperation and
impact.
For more information, see Asmeret’s presentation here.
2.5.4 HoA-REC&N Pilot Carbon Project
HoAREC&N Carbon Credit Coordinator Elmi Nure presented the organization’s work on
reducing carbon dioxide emissions. The Horn of Africa countries face a challenge to develop
economically via a carbon-constrained path. A carbon projects in Africa are hindered by the limited
capacity of project developers in the field of carbon credit financing. Carbon projects require
specific skills, access to networks, and a significant time commitment, all of which may be
inadequate in most African countries. Because of this, many projects have missed potential
opportunities to receive carbon credits through programs like the CDM.
In response, the Carbon Development Team (CDT) at HoA-REC&N, with the support of the
Inter-Church Organization for Development Cooperation (ICCO) launched the Carbon Project in
2012. The Carbon Project aims to support partners to develop carbon projects and build capacity
for the generation of carbon credit financing in Ethiopia. It will offer climate finance expertise and
support to partners and project developers, and build capacity to generate finance through carbon
credits in Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa region more broadly. The project currently receives
financing from the ICCO but intends to become self-supporting in the future.
For more information, see Elmi’s presentation here.
2.5.5 World Bank
André Aquino, Carbon Finance Specialist in the Carbon Finance Unit of the World Bank
outlined the sources and prospects of REDD+ financing for jurisdictional initiatives through the
World Bank. The World Bank has two global multi-donor funds for forest carbon: the Forest
Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF) and the BioCarbon Fund (BioCF). In order to receive funding, a
country’s national government must apply and propose large-scale projects. The FCPF is supporting
pilot projects for performance-based payments for emissions reductions from REDD+ programs in
selected countries. The process is complex and slow, but is much more capitalized than that of the
13
BioCF. Countries are selected through a highly competitive process and receive an average US $60
million in funding. No payments are made before the country finalizes its REDD+ Readiness (RPackage). These funds will soon be exhausted.
The BioCarbon Fund promotes and rewards GHG emissions reductions from the land sector,
including REDD+ in Ethiopia, Zambia, Indonesia, and Colombia. The average program size for
BioCF funds is US $50 million. This fund is a little more flexible than FCPF and is fully linked to
REDD+ Readiness. Although the framework is still being determined, there is a strong emphasis on
private sector engagement and pay for performance instruments. In Ethiopia, BioCF is using
advance payments for activities (land certificate, participatory agriculture, etc.) before results
(emissions reductions). This results-based financing uses intermediary indicators, which are yet to be
agreed upon.
For more information, see the World Bank presentation here.
3 Results: Addis Ababa Roadmap for Low
Carbon Development in Africa
3.1 Vision
The Addis Ababa Roadmap for Low Carbon Development in Africa creates a collaborative network
to advance the proliferation of early REDD+ successes between African and other jurisdictional
programs for low emissions development in a manner that is closely attuned to the importance of
sustainable livelihoods and communities to REDD+ in the African context.
3.2 Objectives
Participants identified the following as the primary objectives of the pan-African REDD+ roadmap:
§ To attune REDD+ in Africa with the continent’s critical need for sustainable livelihoods and
communities, not just carbon credits
§ To create a common vision for Africa, establish continental priorities, develop an African
agenda, and map Africa’s own way forward to guide national, intra-national and international
efforts around REDD+/low emissions development
§ To comprehensively identify, define and address concretely the uniquely African needs
impeding low carbon development programs on the continent
§ To serve the interests of African nations by building the continent’s capacity for REDD+
3.3 Strategy
Modeled on the example of regional networks in the GCF and other south-south exchange
platforms, the Addis Ababa Roadmap will facilitate the proliferation of African experiences and
expertise across the continent, for example, Ethiopia’s successful establishment of a jurisdictional
program in Oromia state. Other early movers include Ghana (commodity-focused program),
14
Zambia (BioCF) and the DRC (Mai Ndombe jurisdictional pilot success). The Addis Ababa
Roadmap will actively seek to draw on the expertise within the GCF to enhance capacity for lowemissions development and REDD+ in Africa by supporting the integration of African jurisdictions
into the GCF.

3.5 Actions, Outcomes and Timelines
3.6 Working Group
Participants of the drafting of the Roadmap created a Working Group consisting of experts
from these early-mover jurisdictional programs. They will get to work immediately on funding leads
and on preparing a Country Assessment Report which will report on the status of REDD+ in each
member country/state and classify each country/state into one of 3 tiers to address capacitybuilding needs for jurisdictional low-emissions development in a targeted manner. The group will
also lead a delegation of African states (Democratic Republic of Congo, Ivory Coast, Ghana,
Zambia) to the GCF Annual Meeting in August. The members of the Working Group are:
§ Yaw Kwakye (Ghana, government)
§ John Mason (Ghana, civil society and government expertise across Africa)
§ Guy Kajemba (DRC, civil society expertise)
§ Tracy Johns (DRC, private sector expertise)
§ Tesfaye Gonfa Negassa (Oromia, jurisdictional program expertise)
§ Odigha Odigha (GCF, government and jurisdictional program expertise)
§ Amelia Chizwala Peterson (GCF Secretariat)
16
3.7 The Way Forward
1. The Working Group will conduct a template-based assessment of the status of REDD+
programs in each Roadmap Network country, which will yield a Country Assessment Report
in August 2014 (tentative date).
2. Following the Country Assessment Report, a 3-tier classification system (based on
advancement of jurisdictional REDD+ programs) will be developed and completed in
September 2014 (tentative date).
3. Roadmap countries will demonstrate strong African interest in the GCF by attending the
GCF annual meeting, in Brazil in August 2014, which will allow GCF members to meet and
interact with representatives from the Roadmap countries and facilitate inclusion of African
countries into the GCF.
4. Working with the GCF, Roadmap countries will develop a platform for learning and
exchange by seeking out linkages and opportunities for collaboration between the roadmap
process and GCF activities (tentatively December 2014).
