The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the United Nations' global development network.

Headquartered in New York City, UNDP advocates for change and connects countries to knowledge, experience and resources
to help people build a better life. It provides expert advice, training, and grant support to developing countries, with increasing
emphasis on assistance to the least developed countries.
The status of UNDP is that of an executive board within the United Nations General Assembly. The UNDP Administrator is
the third highest-ranking official of the United Nations after the United Nations Secretary-General and Deputy Secretary-
General.
[2]

To accomplish the MDGs and encourage global development, UNDP focuses on poverty reduction, HIV/AIDS, democratic
governance, energy and environment, social development, and crisis prevention and recovery. UNDP also encourages the
protection of human rights and the empowerment of women in all of its programmes. The UNDP Human Development Report
Office also publishes an annual Human Development Report (since 1990) to measure and analyse developmental progress. In
addition to a global Report, UNDP publishes regional, national, and local Human Development Reports.
[3]

UNDP is funded entirely by voluntary contributions from member nations. The organization has country offices in 177
countries, where it works with local governments to meet development challenges and develop local capacity. Additionally,
the UNDP works internationally to help countries achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Currently, the UNDP
is one of the main UN agencies involved in the development of the Post-2015 Development Agenda.
UNDP operates in 177 countries, working with nations on their own solutions to global and national development challenges.
As they develop local capacity, they draw on the people of UNDP and its wide range of partners.

Environment and Energy
As the poor are disproportionately affected by environmental degradation and lack of access to clean, affordable water,
sanitation and energy services, UNDP seeks to address environmental issues in order to improve developing countries abilities
to develop sustainably, increase human development and reduce poverty. UNDP works with countries to strengthen their
capacity to address global environmental issues by providing innovative policy advice and linking partners through
environmentally sensitive development projects that help poor people build sustainable livelihoods.
UNDPs environmental strategy focuses on effective water governance including access to water supply and sanitation, access
to sustainable energy services, Sustainable land management to combat desertification and land degradation, conservation and
sustainable use of biodiversity, and policies to control emissions of harmful pollutants and ozone-depleting substances.
UNDP's Equator Initiative office biennially offers the Equator Prize to recognize outstanding indigenous community efforts to
reduce poverty through the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, and thus making local contributions to achieving
the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
The United Nations Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (or UN-REDD
Programme) is a collaborative initiative in developing countries, created in response to the UNFCCC decision on REDD at
COP 13 and the Bali Action Plan. It builds on the convening role and technical expertise of the Food and Agriculture
Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the United Nations
Environment Programme (UNEP).
[1]

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. The Programme also works to build international awareness and consensus about the
importance of including REDD+ mechanisms in a future climate change agreement.
The UN-REDD Programme is not the only initiative assisting countries that wish to engage in REDD+ activities. Other
initiatives include the World Banks Forest Carbon Partnership Facility, Norways International Climate and Forest Initiative,
the Global Environment Facility, Australias International Forest Carbon Initiative and the Collaborative Partnership on
Forests.
In March 2012, the UN-REDD Programme released its annual Year in Review report for 2011,
[2]
which is available on the
programme's website.

National programmes
The UN-REDD Programme assists developing countries in preparing and implementing national REDD+ strategies and
mechanisms. These efforts help countries develop the capacity to implement REDD+ strategies and become "REDD-
readiness"; and provide practical experience and lessons learned that can inform the international dialogue on a post-2012
REDD+ mechanism.
The Programme currently has 47 partner countries spanning Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America and the Caribbean.
Sixteen of these countries are receiving direct support to National Programmes. These 16 countries are: Bolivia, Cambodia,
Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Ecuador, Indonesia, Nigeria, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, the
Philippines, Republic of Congo, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Viet Nam and Zambia. A conflict has emerged
between Panamas indigenous peoples and the UN-REDD Programme, which has led to the suspension of activities in the
country as of March 2013.
[citation needed]
To-date,
[when?]
the UN-REDD Programmes Policy Board has approved a total of
US$67.8 million for National Programmes in these 16 partner countries. These funds help to support the development and
implementation of national REDD+ strategies.
UN-REDD Programme countries not receiving direct support to national programmes engage with the Programme in a number
of ways, including as observers to the Programme's Policy Board, and through participation in regional workshops and
knowledge sharing, facilitated by the Programmes interactive online workspace. These countries are: Argentina, Bangladesh,
Benin, Bhutan, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cote d'Ivoire, Ethiopia, Gabon, Ghana,
Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Kenya, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Mexico, Mongolia, Morocco, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Peru,
South Sudan, Sudan, Suriname, Tunisia and Uganda.

Activities of the global programme
At the international level, the UN-REDD Programme seeks to build consensus and knowledge about REDD+ and raise
awareness about the importance of including a REDD+ mechanism in a post-2012 climate change agreement. It also provides
opportunities for dialogue between governments, civil society organizations and technical experts, to ensure that REDD+
efforts are based on science and take into account the views and needs of all stakeholders.
The UN-REDD Programme brings together technical teams from around the world to develop common approaches, analyses
and guidelines on issues such as measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) of carbon emissions and flows, remote
sensing, and greenhouse gas inventories. It provides guidance on how best to design and implement REDD+, to ensure that
forests continue to provide multiple benefits for livelihoods and biodiversity to societies while storing carbon at the same
time. The Programme is also deeply committed to supporting the engagement of Indigenous Peoples and Civil Society
organizations in the design and implementation of REDD+ strategies.
Organization and governance
The Policy Board of the UN-REDD Programme convenes twice a year to decide on the strategic orientations and budget
allocations of the Programme. Meetings are co-chaired by a representative from a UN-REDD Programme partner country and
a representative from either FAO, UNDP or UNEP. The composition of the Board is:
Members
One representative per UN agency (FAO, UNDP, UNEP)
Nine partner country representatives (from Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America and the Caribbean)
One Indigenous Peoples representative
One representative from a Civil Society organization
One representative per donor country, up to three
Observers
Three Indigenous Peoples representatives (from the three regions Africa, Asia & the Pacific, Latin America and the
Caribbean), self-selected
Three representatives from Civil Society Organizations (from the regions above, plus an NGO from an industrialized
country)

Background
Organizational context

Indonesia is one of the worlds largest emitters of CO2, largely from agriculture, forestry and other land use. Over the past
five years, Indonesias annual rate of deforestation has been one of the largest contributors to Indonesias current and expected
future emissions under the business-as-usual scenario. They also represent the largest opportunities to abate emissions.
On May 26, 2010 the governments of Indonesia and the Kingdom of Norway signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) to establish a
Partnership for REDD+ to tackle greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and forest and peat land degradation. As part of
the partnership, Norway will provide up to USD 1 billion to Indonesias REDD+ efforts. Management of the partnership has

Indonesias forest land comprises 60 % of the countrys land area, which makes it the
third largest area of tropical rainforest in the world. Indonesias forest is therefore
important not only for the national economy and local livelihoods, but also for the
global environment. The Indonesian rainforests are also among the worlds richest in
terms of biodiversity, and cover a significant proportion of the planets tropical deep
peat. The Government of Indonesia estimates that, for each year between 2003 and
2006, around 1.17 million ha of forest was cleared or degraded.
The operational phase 1 of Indonesia UN-REDD Programme was closed in October
2012. Since its inception in October 2009, the Programme has worked with relevant government agencies, NGOs/ CSOs,
academics and the private sector at the national level and in its pilot province, Central Sulawesi, where a multi-stakeholder
REDD+ Working Group is very active. The Programme has been instrumental in the development of several decrees. A
methodology for Reference Emission Level was developed and a National Forest Inventory database has been set up. Before
its completion the Programme will also prepare a REDD+ implementation plan for Central Sulawesi. UNEP has been assisting
Central Kalimantan with the development of a roadmap for green growth focusing on forest and natural resources.
UNEP has been assisting Central Kalimantan with the development of a roadmap for green growth focusing on forest and
natural resources. In 2012, Indonesia has moved towards finalizing indicators for Participatory Governance Assessment (PGA)
in the context of REDD+. For an overview of Indonesias PGA Framework, Structure and Flow of Indicator Measures
been entrusted to a National REDD+ Task Force, which was established by Presidential Decree No.19 in September 2010 and
further reconstituted by Presidential Decree No.15 in September 2011.
Following the establishment of the National REDD+ Task Force, the Government of Indonesia requested the UN Secretary
General to consider establishing appropriate institutional structures in Indonesia to support the National REDD+ Task Force
and other allied actors, both government and civil society . In view of the enormity and complexity of the task, the Secretary
General responded positively to the request and following high level inter-agency negotiations coordinated by the Chair of the
UN Development Group, an MoU was signed between the United Nations System and the Government of Indonesia in
September 2011 to establish the UN Office for REDD+ Coordination in Indonesia (UNORCID) with a comprehensive
mandate to support the Government of Indonesia and numerous stakeholders in implementing Indonesias REDD+ and related
priorities. Following the signing of the MoU between the UN System and Indonesia, UNDP, UNEP, UNESCO, ILO, UNOPS,
UNODC, FAO and WFP have joined as additional parties to the MoU. At this time, UN Women, UNIDO and several other
UN Agencies are also actively considering their joining the MoU.
UNORCID has a finite life-span that, unless renewed by mutual agreement between the parties to the MoU, expires in
September 2015. Based in the UNORCID Pilot Province Office in Palangka Raya, Central Kalimantan, the Coordination
Officer will also act as Deputy Head of PPO and s/he will work under supervision of Head of PPO in Palangka Raya and in
close collaboration with UN Agencies undertaking REDD+ activities in the province, Provincial Government of Central
