The Landscape of REDD+ Aligned Finance in Côte d’Ivoire

The document assesses public finance aligned with REDD+ goals in Côte d’Ivoire for 2015, highlighting the risk of total forest loss by 2034 due to agricultural expansion and logging. It argues that 'greening' existing agricultural finance could increase REDD+ aligned funding fivefold to FCFA 101 billion (USD 169 million) and suggests new mechanisms like a National REDD+ Fund to support sustainable land use.

• Côte d’Ivoire faces a critical risk of losing all its forest cover by 2034 if current deforestation rates continue, driven by logging, mining, wood fuel reliance, and agricultural expansion for rubber, oil palm, and cocoa.
• There is a significant opportunity to increase REDD+ aligned finance by over five times to FCFA 101 billion (USD 169 million) by greening existing agricultural finance from international and domestic sources.
• Potential methods to increase available finance and spending effectiveness include the creation of a National REDD+ Fund, fiscal measures, and incentives for local government.
