Methodologies RESI DIEN BIEN PRAP Supporting the REDD+ development and implementation process at provincial level It is the consultation process at multi-level (national, sub-national, district and local/site level) Legislation and policy framework Institutional and stakeholders analysis Financial opportunities analysis Duration RESI Multi-disciplinary - Legislation and policy - Institutional setting - Environmental aspect - Social aspect DIEN BIEN PRAP Mono-disciplinary: forestry sector Similar as the second provincial forest protection and development plan Social Science Methods with Very high-technical qualitative analysis and forestry methods (GIS, criteria/indicator development maps, ecological monitoring ) quantitative analysis 4 months 21 months (when already have the tools) 3

4 Selection of REDD+ piloted site Based on the scores of 04 Based on the features of forest components: institutional, areas (forest cover, policy, environmental and social deforestation risk, ) aspects REL/RLV Included Legislation and policy framework Analysis of forest resouces trends, the causes of deforestation and forest degradation Will select the site with the highest score Considering the content of forest Only considering the forestry and climate change in the related legislation. Policies and relation with other plans, regulation strategies of province Using the secondary data Using the high-technical supports (GIS, ) Considering the risks of Not clear deforestation due to the forest conversion for the socioeconomic development projects The emission reduction scenaries Included Social status databse Included Solutions/intervention package Scenarios based on each intervention package Partial Included Benefit sharing mechanism Considering the forest tenure Based on the Decision 126 on system as the initial input for piloted benefit sharing designing the benefit sharing mechanism in special use mechanism forest; or applied principles of forest community-based management The REDD+ M&E system Will be developed based on the score of RESI REDD+ M& E system only consider about the content of PRAP, especially on forest protection and development activities. Lack of social impact assessment SO SÁNH NỘI DUNG: RESI VÀ PRAP ĐIỆN BIÊN Nội dung RESI Quá trình xây dựng PRAP Điện Biên Safeguards Synthesis of the number of 07 safeguars principles of criteria, principles or standards: Cancun Agreement Cancun, UNREDD, FCPF, Carbon Index and CCBA Effectiveness assessment of the existing environmental and social safeguards (eg. EIA) Considering about the information grievance system Review the risks related to forest resources disputes or conflicts and resolving experiences at local level 4

5 Conclusion RESI is the comprehensive safeguard took, which uses the multi-disciplinary approach and take into account the integration of REDD+ objectives into planning, strategies, or programs, not only in forestry sector but also socio-economic sector at provincial and local level RESI has been tested and piloted in 5 provinces at different REDD+ implementation stages and showed the possible results. It reflects the ability to apply broader in other REDD+ potential provinces.. The meanings of RESI for the PRAP development process The strength of RESI is a set of tools to help mapping out the considered contents/issues during the REDD+ preparation, design and implementation at provincial/local level THANK FOR YOUR ATTENTION RESI Database will help to draw one general picture, which focuses on 04 main components: legislation institution environmental and social aspects of each potential REDD+ province. This can be considered as scanning step of the PRAP development process. RESI results will reflect the advantages but also disadvantages of each potential REDD+ province. Thus, it will help in design the best suitable intervention package/safeguard systems in the particular context of provinces. 5
