Background | |
The UN Collaborative Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in developing countries (UN-REDD Programme) is a partnership of FAO, UNDP and UNEP seeking to assist developing countries prepare and implement national REDD+ strategies. In the UN-REDD Programme UNDP is the lead agency on governance and transparent, equitable and accountable management of REDD+ payments. The UN-REDD Programme has integrated activities on anti-corruption as a core element of its five-year Programme strategy. These activities include guidance on institutional frameworks for equitable, transparent and accountable benefit distribution systems in REDD+, integrity of fiduciary systems for receiving and disbursement of funds, coordination of anti-corruption activities at the national, regional and international level, and support and capacity building towards multi stakeholder mechanisms to mitigate corruption risks. In 2010 UNDP produced a first report, “Staying on Track: Tackling Corruption Risks in Climate Change.” The report dedicates a chapter to corruption risks in REDD+, and included recommendations on how to tackle these risks, including “the need to strengthen transparency and accountability of local governance institutions and systems.” This report need however to be complemented by a more in depth analysis of the role of local governance in responding to corruption risks in REDD+ in different regional settings. UNDP is seeking a consultant to develop a report providing guidance on the role of local governance institutions in preventing corruption risks in REDD+ in the Latin American context. | |
