KNOWLEDGE CO-PRODUCTION ACTIVITIES
Relevant groupings of actors (national, sub-
national and international policy makers,
private sector, proponents, CSOs, round-tables
& research partners) are engaged across the
research cycle
1.1 REDD+ design (all levels)
1.3 Empowered CSO
(national/subnational level)
3.1. MMRV (national and
international levels)
2.2 Private sector participation in
REDD+ (subnational level)
2.1 Experience-based policy
design
(all levels)
1.2 Transformational change
(national level)
3.2 Improved AFOLU information
(all levels)
4.1. Multilevel governance
(all levels)
4.2 Informed landscape
management (subnational level)
3.3 MMRV capacity
(national and sub-national levels)
4.3 Private sector alignment with
REDD+ (all levels)
5.1 Partner engagement for co-production of knowledge
• Early engagement and trust-building with collaborating partners from all levels and sectors
• Joint definition of relevant research questions
• Co-development of robust, salient, credible and legitimate research
• Delivery, directly or through collaborating partners, of knowledge and tools that partners need

Theory of societal transformations: political economy lens
(or: our theory of how change happens – out there)

How we engage with partners: Co-production of
science

GCS-REDD+ - Verified „impact stories“
• Global
• CIFOR contributed to the stepwise approach in setting FRELs/RLs (MRV)
• international expert consultations that led to a UNFCCC decision 2011 for
a stepwise approach on setting, measuring and reporting reference levels
(UNFCC Decision 12/CP17).
• UNREDD made tenure part of its strategy framework based on information
CIFOR generated under this investment (2014)
• National
• CIFOR was influential in Indonesia’s REDD decisions
• Supported FORDA directly and was involved the Indonesian National
REDD+ Strategy development
• Supplied information that informed the GoI's decisions on the forest
moratorium and forest reference emission levels (peatland emission
factors)
• Support to establishment of Indonesia National Carbon Accounting
System (INCAS) in 2015 (funding from the Government of Australia)
• CIFOR research contributed to the Cameroon R-PP and the Peru National
REDD+ Strategy
• CIFOR’s engagement with national technical staff in Guyana and Ethiopia
resulted in both countries adopting CIFOR’s stepwise approach
