The EU REDD Facility aims to assist developing countries in establishing REDD+ frameworks and actions through demand-driven, flexible support tailored to specific country needs. It will work in close coordination with donors on 5 areas in 2011: setting up the Facility, building country capacity and governance for REDD+, financing REDD+ readiness and implementation, facilitating European support, and supporting communication. The overall objectives are helping countries reduce deforestation and meet REDD+ goals while assisting the EU and members states in providing effective support.
