• Project description
  At the initial stage, this project aim to develop an approach to mitigate deforestation and forest degradation at village and village cluster levels in the northern Laos. Developed approach will contribute to the community based forest management, as well as community based mitigation measure for REDD in Lao PDR. This approach consists of 4 main components. 1) Institutional set up at village level, 2) Land and forest use zoning, 3) mitigation activities including both forest management and alternative livelihood options and 4) village fund management. At the end of stage, the project will evaluate the effectiveness of those initiatives in terms of land use and forest and propose the outcome and lesson learnt for contributing REDD in Lao PDR.
