
Analyze when, what, and who should be involved in
streamlining safeguards & standards
Methods

Lecture
Time

0.5 to 1 session or hour

Review materials from SES module section 3.1

Read: Jagger, P., Lawlor, K., Brockhaus, M., Gebara, M. F.,
Sonwa, D. J., and Resosudarmo, I. A. P. 2012. REDD+
safeguards in national policy: Discourse and pilot projects. In
Analysing REDD+: Challenges and choices, edited by A.
Angelsen, CIFOR.

Many safeguards/standards—which to choose?


This can be a difficult question
Need options for streamlining the safeguards

To harmonize procedures and guidance material of
various agencies (FCPF/UNREDD)

To operationalize REDD+ actions in countries through
unified and efficient process

To avoid confusion/burden on countries to follow
multiple sets of guidance on similar issues
Understand similarities & differences among safeguards/
standards in:
1.
why use the mechanism
2.
when to use the mechanism
3.
what issues it covers, and
4.
who participates in the process and its governance
WHY?

to promote effective design and adaptive management

to access and maintain funding

to demonstrate compliance with national law and with
international obligations

to build and maintain support among stakeholders:
• local people affected by REDD+ activities
• interest groups/NGOs
• general public
WHEN?

Design-readiness phase

Implementation phase
WHAT?




Governance: coherence, participation, disclosure,
accountability, grievance mechanisms
Rights: respect for rights, Indigenous Peoples and local
communities
Impacts: social and environmental, negative and/or positive,
for different stakeholder groups
Actions to avoid or mitigate negative & enhance positive
impacts
WHO?



Defining what information is to be collected
Collecting, reviewing and reporting information
Governance of safeguards mechanisms
When
Design - Readiness
Implementation
SESA
Why: improve design, build support
ESMF
What: governance, rights, +/- impacts
Why: requirement for funding, improve design
Who: multi-stakeholder, participatory
What: WB OPs - rights, negative impacts, mitigation action
Who: principally government and delivery partner
Principles and Criteria, Risk Identification Mitigation + Benefits
Why: requirement for funding, improve design, international obligations?
What : P&C - governance, rights, +/- impacts, mitigation action
Who: ?
Participatory Governance Assessment and Guidance
Why: improve design, build stakeholder support, feedback to improve design
What: governance, adapted to country context
Who: multi-stakeholder, participatory identification of indicators and assessment
REDD+ SES
Why: reporting framework, build stakeholder support, improve design
What: governance, rights, +/- impacts, mitigation action, adapted to country context
Who: multi-stakeholder, participatory identification indicators, assessment, review

The World Bank Forest Carbon Partnership Fund and
UNREDD have issued joint guidelines.

These guidelines are on stakeholder engagement in
REDD+ readiness, with a focus on the participation of
Indigenous Peoples and other forest-dependent
communities.

Joint guidelines are a step towards streamlining.
