The parent project was to be implemented from October 31, 2016 to October 31, 2018 but it received a share from an additional financing (AF) approved by the 23rd PC in March 2017. To accommodate additional activities to be funded by the AF, the closing date was extended to December 31, 2019.
Its objective is to provide forest-dependent indigenous peoples with information, knowledge, and awareness on REDD+ to enhance their understanding on REDD+, and to enable them to engage more meaningfully in the implementation of REDD+ readiness activities. The aim is to support activities that empower and enable these stakeholder groups, to enhance and influence REDD+ development outcomes, and also to strengthen mechanisms for inclusion, accountability, and participation. It is being implemented through the WB’s “Procedures for Small Recipient-Executed Trust Fund Grants”.
