Build institutional and governance capacity at the national and sub-national level on forest monitoring and to manage forest resources sustainably and for reduced emissions; this includes work to enhance regional efficiencies and information sharing.b. Develop demonstration projects in defined geographies in each country that demonstrate and test approaches to reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+), focus on at-risk forests, achieve impact at scale, and that influence and improve larger land use planning, policy processes and forest conservation goals in each country in a way that demonstrates how to move toward net zero deforestation at scale in the longer-term.c. Improved stakeholder consultation, particularly with indigenous communities and local NGOs.
