Community-Based REDD+ Pilot Program

One of the earliest community-forestry carbon pilots anywhere, implemented 2009-2013 by ANSAB with ICIMOD and FECOFUN and NORAD funding across three community-forest watersheds.

Overview

Inside the project

It demonstrated an innovative benefit-sharing mechanism, formally establishing a Forest Carbon Trust Fund in June 2011 with a US$100,000 NORAD seed grant.

The pilot reported a combined carbon-stock increase equivalent to over 100,000 tonnes of CO2 across the three watersheds by 2011.
