| Organisational structure | The UN-REDD Programme has a Policy Board that decides on strategic direction and budget allocation. The Policy Board is made up of representatives from partner countries, donors to the Multi-Partner Trust Fund, civil society, indigenous peoples and the Programme's three UN collaborating agencies (FAO, UNDP and UNEP). The Programme’s Secretariat, based in Geneva, supports the successful implementation of the Programme by coordinating the activities of the three UN agencies and the work of the Policy Board. |

Description
| Description | The UN-REDD Programme is the United Nations collaborative initiative on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD) in developing countries. The UN-REDD Programme supports nationally-led REDD+ processes and promotes the informed and meaningful involvement of all stakeholders, including Indigenous Peoples and other forest-dependent communities, in national and international REDD+ implementation. |
|---|---|
| Objectives | While continuing its support for initial REDD+ readiness at the country level, the UN-REDD Programme’s strategy for 2011-2015 makes a strategic shift to focus on providing capacity support for in-depth technical needs in such REDD+ related work areas as monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV); governance, stakeholder engagement, and safeguards and multiple benefits. This has also expanded to include REDD+ in a green economy strategy.
The Programme originally aimed to support up to 40 countries between 2011 and 2015. The Programme has now surpassed that with 65 country partners. Support varies in terms of type, level and duration depending on national circumstances and existing systems. Country programmes are supported by global activities designed to develop and share knowledge. The UN-REDD Programme anticipates more growth in the number of its partner countries, due to a growing demand from developing countries to receive REDD+ readiness support. In order to meet our goals and the increasing demand for UN-REDD Programme support, resource mobilization remains a key priority for the Programme. |
