Abstract
Poverty and sustainable development impacts of REDD architecture is a multi-country
project led by the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED, UK) and
the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (Aas, Norway). It started in July 2009 and will
continue to December 2013. The project is funded by the Norwegian Agency for Development
Cooperation (Norad) as part of the Norwegian Government’s Climate and Forest Initiative.
The partners in the project are Fundação Amazonas Sustentável (Brazil); Hamilton Resources
and Consulting (Ghana); Netherlands Development Organisation (SNV) (Vietnam); Sokoine
University of Agriculture, Faculty of Forestry and Nature Conservation (Tanzania); and Makerere
University, Faculty of Forestry and Nature Conservation (Uganda).
The project aims to increase understanding of how different options for REDD design and
policy at international, national and sub-national level will affect achievement of greenhouse
gas emission reduction and co-benefits of sustainable development and poverty reduction.
As well as examining the internal distribution and allocation of REDD payments under different
design option scenarios at both international and national level, the project will work with
selected REDD pilot projects in each of the five countries to generate evidence and improve
understanding on the poverty impacts of REDD pilot activities, the relative merits of different
types of payment mechanisms and the transaction costs.
