Investing in Results

The paper argues that current REDD+ financing is often ad hoc and donor-driven, risking the capacity of national institutions. It recommends improving the quality of bilateral and multilateral support, investing in national and subnational capacity, and developing performance metrics that extend beyond emission reductions to support policy implementation.

• Current REDD+ financing is characterized by a lack of coordination, with decisions being ad hoc, fragmented, and driven by donors who operate under their own distinct procedures and standards.
• The concentration of REDD+ finance in a small number of countries creates a risk that donor-driven funding may overwhelm national institutional capacity, lead to conflicting investments, and hinder the integration of REDD+ into national planning.
• To improve REDD+ outcomes, the paper recommends enhancing the responsiveness of bilateral and multilateral support to country demands, investing in national and subnational capacity, and creating monitoring systems that measure more than just emission reductions.
