Background

With support from the Italian Ministry of Environment, Land and Sea (IMELS), UNDP is implementing activities to catalyze donor support for REDD+ implementation in Myanmar.

Activity 5 under the agreed workplan is “Knowledge Management and Communications”. Through this activity, the aim is to gain an improved understanding of the linkages between climate change policies and multiple sustainable development objectives in the development of national low-carbon development pathways, including linking REDD+ to broader policy initiatives such as the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC).

Some of the key outputs related to establishing such linkages are:

Support on-going media engagement on communicating REDD+
Support preparation for the National Validation Workshop for the REDD+ Strategy
Tailor activities in the REDD+ Myanmar KM and Communications Strategy for effective, on-going communications with EAO’s and other ethnic groups
Support the development of resource mobilization proposals (“REDD+ Investment Plan”) with international best practice.
