Through the financial solutions it offers and the partnerships it forges, the World Bank is focusing on moving from degraded landscapes, poverty and low productivity to creating economic returns, high productivity levels and secured livelihoods. Combining and coordinating public and private resources is seen as the only way to reduce poverty and reach national climate change commitments that REDD+ Emission Reductions programs contribute to, while investments across sectors have the capacity to shift business-as-usual land use practices towards a greener future. The presentation uses the example of Mozambique to illustrate work done in rural development and natural resource management focusing on REDD+.

2. Why our challenge is huge
13 million hectares of
forest are lost each year
2 billion hectares of
degraded land and forests
need to be restored
This is undermining economic growth, poverty
alleviation, and food security
37% of the solution to Climate Change, yet only gets
3% of the funding

7. Working Together: World Bank and the Government of Mozambique
The GoM National Sustainable Development
Program (NSDP) Standing Forests
Enabling sustainable forest
management to deliver benefits to
local communities and the national
economy.
Mozbio Program
Bringing benefits from protected area
management and wildlife protection to
a local and national scale.
Terra Segura
Strengthening land administration and
management focusing on access,
registration and information to benefit
rural communities.
The Bank’s Portfolio
supports NSDP’s
strategic objectives. In
particular, but not
exclusively, the
following three
initiatives:
Country example: Mozambique
The World Bank has been working closely with the government to
support the National Sustainable Development Project in strengthening
rural development and natural resource management.

8. Cabo Delgado Landscape
• Total Area: 4 million ha
• Population: 611,538
• Rural Population: 78.4%
• Total Forest Area: 1,756 ha
• Deforestation Rate: 0.32%
The Cabo Delgado Landscape hosts a variety of key
terrestrial and marine biodiversity habitats, each with
different geographic features. The area includes the
Quirimbas National Park, which is home to 135,000
people, as well as a rich array of terrestrial and marine
fauna and flora such as elephants, turtles and miombo
forests.
Zambezia Landscape
• Total Area: 6 million ha
• Total Population: 2,286,988
• Rural Population: 74%
• Poverty Level: 56% below poverty line
• Forest Area: 3,225 ha
• Deforestation rate: 0.62%
The Zambezia Landscape hosts forests and woodlands,
agricultural lands and the Gile National Reserve,
protecting several biodiversity hotspots. This landscape
has been chosen as an Emissions Reduction Program
Area under the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility’s
Carbon Fund.

9. Enabling environment to REDD+ -
Key role of FCPF
($3.6m + $5m)
• Forest Sector Reform
• Two-year moratorium on new forest concessions
• Ban on the exploitation of Swartizia madagascariensis
• Performance review of all private concession holders
• 4th National Forest Inventory
• Status of forest resources
• Transparency in key decisions, data to be made publicly available
• “Operação Tronco”
• Flagship law enforcement action, seized illegal timber
• Seized wood reverted into school desks
• National Law Enforcement Agency established
• Ongoing preparation of a new Forest Law and Policy
• Support to the development of community-private sector
joint ventures in Program area
• Support the establishment of the Zambezia Multi-
stakeholders Forum
• Review of the National REDD+ decree
• 5th National Conference on Community-Based Natural
Resources Management
COUNTRY EXAMPLE: MOZAMBIQUE

(IDA, GEF, MDTF)
COUNTRY EXAMPLE: MOZAMBIQUE

11. Country example: Mozambique
$47 million

12. Finance & Partnerships Established
• WB IBRD and IDA: WB instruments alongside grant funding – increasing in portfolio
• Forest Investment Program (FIP): From 23 FIP Pilot Countries, 21 are also
participating in either or both FCPF and UN-REDD. Coordinates with multiple sources
of REDD+ related funding.
• GEF: Compliment existing programs and increasing funding from GEF.
• PROFOR: Provide knowledge resources for REDD+ countries according to needs.
• Bilaterals: Aligning funding to ensure activities complement each other.
• UN-REDD (FAO, UNDP, UNEP): Coordination in overlapping countries to avoid
duplication and ensure activities complement each other.
• Green Climate Fund (GCF): Initiating collaboration as REDD+ program shapes up.
• In-country multi-sectoral engagement:
• Country’s own budget for investment in jurisdictions
• Many countries using resources to set up / strengthen inter-ministerial
committees to discuss land use issues and steer national and international
finance towards REDD+ priorities
• Ministries of Finance starting to engage more
• Examples of IP and CSO representation in institutional arrangements

13. Challenges have included:
• Readiness – how can one engage in this phase
• Scale – and risk of jurisdictional GHG accounting
• Gaps – Knowledge of what is out there is often missing
Change is happening…. First private partnership in Ethiopia on coffee & more coming…
Agribusiness, sustainable commodities partnerships
Discussions with commodity producers and distributors (for example, on cocoa) to scale up
zero-deforestation supply chains
Public-private synergies, collaboration
Potential for cross-sector collaboration on Monitoring, Reporting and Verification systems for
sustainable forest activity
Engage financial and regulatory mechanisms
Financial institutions can provide needed capital for large-scale change on the ground
through bonds and other financial products related to Emission Reductions programs
One opportunity is to use the financial regulation to incentivize private sector engagement
Leveraging public-private investment for REDD+ …
getting there!

14. CONCLUSION
• Combining and coordinating public and private resources is
the only way to realize the poverty reduction potential and
reach the national climate change commitments that
REDD+ Emission Reductions programs contribute to
• As countries’ REDD+ programs are maturing we are seeing
the full breadth of opportunity for collaboration and
investments across sectors to ensure changes to business-
as-usual practices that will lead to greener, healthier
ecosystems
• Countries need our collective support – changes at scale
need time and need diverse sources of funding. For
REDD+ finance to succeed inter-ministerial and inter-
sectoral, inclusive collaboration is key
