The objective of the Dedicated Grant Mechanism for Cote d'Ivoire Project is to strengthen the capacity of targeted local communities to participate in REDD plus processes at the local, national, and global levels. ... See More + To reverse the trend of deforestation and forest degradation, Côte d'Ivoire has been engaged since 2011 in the Reduction of Emissions due to Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD plus) process, with support from the World Bank (WB) and other partners, such as the United Nations REDD plus (UN-REDD), the French Development Agency (AFD), and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). This engagement led to an initial grant in 2014 of US dollar 3.8 million and additional financing in 2017 of US dollar 5.0 million from the WB-managed Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF)-Readiness Fund and an additional US dollar 3.2 million from the UN-REDD. The Readiness Fund and the UN-REDD fund are designed to assist forest countries to: (i) prepare a national REDD strategy and policy framework; (ii) establish a reference baseline of emissions from deforestation and forest degradation; and (iii) set up a national monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) system for emissions reduction.  See Less -

Incentive-based conservation is a promising approach to tropical forest conservation, including within multiple-use protected areas. Here we analyze the environmental impacts of Bolsa Floresta, a longstanding forest conservation program combining conditional household payments with livelihood-focused investments in 15 multiple-use reserves of Amazonas State, Brazil. ... See More + We use grid-based data, nearest-neighbor matching, and panel data econometrics to compare forest-related program outcomes (deforestation, degradation, fires) with non-participating reserves. While post-treatment deforestation and degradation was negligible, this was already the case pre-treatment, since low-threat reserves had preferentially been targeted. We thus find only statistically insignificant additional conservation effects from implementation. No important heterogeneous treatment effects could be detected either. Our findings thus add to the growing evidence that spatial mis-targeting towards low-hanging fruits, that is disproportionally selecting low-threat forest conservation areas into programs, constitutes a prime cause for low additionality found in rigorous impact evaluations of incentive-based forest conservation initiatives.  See Less -
