“There is an increasing need and demand for more information to support engagement in REDD+ among all stakeholder groups. Although the information and guidance related to REDD+ has expanded as awareness and research has ramped up, there are still limited resources that present an overview of the skills and expertise required for a range of REDD+ issues. The Knowledge and Skills Needed to Engage in REDD+: A Competencies Framework aims to fill the gap for those who need a broad understanding of REDD+ themes—from designing capacity building programs that meet the needs of stakeholders, to REDD+ funding and finance, as well as many other vital issues in between.
This hands-on tool is designed to be expansive in scope, addressing critical REDD+ themes, including overviews of essential knowledge and detailed resources, such as policy context and key terms. The framework, the most comprehensive of its kind to-date, links experiences and insights from many wellrespected organizations, including Conservation International, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the Tropical Agricultural Research and Higher Education Center (CATIE) and the Center for People and Forests (RECOFTC), in order to deliver the tools and guidance that is needed for REDD+ development and implementation.”
