Components of Ethiopia’s REDD+ Readiness Capacity Building REDD+ Mgt Arrangements Stakeholders C & P Components of Ethiopia’s REDD+ Readiness REDD+ Strategy/SESA REDD+ Piloting Setting RL/REL Creating Implementation Framework Establishing MRV System

Where do we stand now? Management arrangements in place (Federal: RSC, RTWG, 3 TF) (Regional: RRSC, TWG) Multi-stakeholder consultations Awareness Creation & Capacity building (Electronic & Print materials, Workshops; ToT; Integration of REDD+ Courses into University Curricula) Technical studies (Legal/institutional; Drivers of D&D, SESA/ESMF, RL) Draft REDD+ Strategy (Final version: end of October 2015; REDD+ Learning Network established)

Where do we stand now? REDD+ Piloting Forest Inventory underway (Oromia REDD+ Pilot & 3 other Regional pilots) Forest Inventory underway Consultation & Participation Plan (Communication strategy being finalized) National Forest Definition (REDD+ MRV-Definition: 0.5ha; 20% canopy and 2m height) Mid-term Evaluation in September 2015

Ethiopia’s REDD+ Readiness Milestones T I M E H O R I Z O N National REDD+ Secretariat Established (Jan 13) Legal & Institutional study finalized (Dec 14) REDD+ Readiness Implementation launched (Jan 13) Mid-term Evaluatio n (Jan 15) Synthesis assessment of feasibility of Selected Strategic Options (Jul 15) SESA/ESM F Study finalized (Jun 15) REDD+ Web site launched (Jan 15) Guidelines for Grievance & Conflict Resolution (Dec 15) REDD+ Strategy finalized (Sep 15) Drivers study finalized (May 15) MRV System established (Jun 16) National Forest Definition (Jun 15) R-Package (Aug 16) Communicatio n strategy finalized (Dec 14) National REDD+ TWG & TFs Established (Jul 13) Baseline on trends & rates of Deforestation & Forest Degradation (Nov 15) Carbon Benefit Sharing Framework (Jun 16) REDD+ Implement ation Manual (Jun 16) Setting RL/REL (Jun 17)

What are the challenges? Limited in-country technical capacity Less effective inter-sectoral coordination REDD+ implementation is a protracted process Listless climate negotiations and limited commitment

Take Home Message REDD+ is an integral part of Ethiopia's CRGE strategy Forestry (through REDD+) provides 50% of emission abatement potential in Ethiopia  REDD+ implementation offers an opportunity for policy/legal review and an incentive for forest conservation & management  REDD+ Readiness process in Ethiopia will put in place the required technical capacity, institutional arrangement and REDD+ implementation strategy
