Dialogue on REDD Readiness

Between October 2009 and November 2010 The Forests Dialogue (TFD) in partnershipwith IUCN, organized international REDD-readiness field dialogues in five countries including Brazil, Ghana, Guatemala, Ecuador and Cambodia. The field dialogues are part of TFD’s REDD Readiness Initiative that seeks to understand how selected countries are actively engaged in REDD-readiness activities. The field dialogues have shed light on the common issues countries are facing to get REDD-ready and demonstrated the importance of addressing country-specific issues and challenges early on in the process. The Initiative has been sponsored by NORAD.
