The proposed project aimed to strengthen forest sector governance and inter-sectoral coordination for effective implementation of REDD+ and other forest sector programmes included in Nepal’s NDCs. Following the advice received from key government and civil society experts, the project designed and piloted a capacity development programme engaging forest administration staff and other key stakeholders in selected districts of Nepal. It developed training modules for participatory governance assessments to comply with the requirements under its REDD+ social and environmental Safeguards Information System and for intersectoral coordination to enhance the adaptive capacity of communities through effective forest management in line with Nepal’s NDC commitments. The final training modules will be delivered to the government and relevant stakeholders for future capacity building programmes under REDD+ and other forest sector based climate change programmes included in Nepal’s NDCs.
