CaSe Study © DIEGO PEREZ / WWF StRenGtHeninG Redd+ GoveRnanCe in madRe de dioS, PeRu For more information about this case study, visit: bit.ly/10MktIl Context Peru’s approach to REDD+ is led at the national level by the Ministry of Environment and implemented at the subnational, jurisdictional level by the regional governments. The Madre de Dios region is important to REDD+ implementation because it has one of the most intact low-lying rainforests in the Peruvian Amazon currently threatened by gold mining, unsustain- able agriculture and illegal selective logging. Social inequity and poverty are common, as large segments of the population have limited access to basic social and economic services. The lack of effective environmental governance is manifested in weak institutional capacity, high political instability and little technical capacity to understand the complex world of REDD+. In 2009, the Regional Government of Madre de Dios (GOREMAD) created the Roundtable of Environmental Services and REDD+ (MSAR) for developing a regional REDD+ strategy and promoting policies and information and training of regional capacities. However, due to lack of technical capacity and resources, MSAR could not be implemented. Expected changes In 2010 WWF started a REDD+ program in Madre de Dios with the goal of increasing the institutional and technical capabilities of the region to engage in policy design and implementation of a subnational REDD+ programme. Achievements MSAR reactivated. WWF and other strategic partners provided human and financial resources to support the implementation of MSAR. WWF served for some time as the technical secretariat of MSAR and plays a key role by providing technical advice, fostering civil society participation and guaranteeing transparency in its processes. WWF fostered local technical capacities by coordinating with the Regional University of Madre de Dios to develop a diploma programme Environmental Management and REDD+, which trains local government officials and other stakeholders in relevant REDD+ technical and policy issues. As a result, MSAR is starting to position itself as an important REDD+ actor at the local, national and international levels. After two years of work and with the financial support of several international institutions and NGOs such as WWF, the MSAR is growing in strength and now operates regularly under the leadership of GOREMAD. Specific achievements are: n Building a REDD+ coordination in Madre de Dios by bringing together various distinct projects and institutions that had been working individually in the region; n Developing technical capacities, and building consensus on concepts, and technical criteria to implement environmental services and REDD+ projects that coordinate with national processes; n Promoting technical and participative processes in which civil society can actively participate in subcommittees by voting and validating the results. This has led to a sense of empowerment by those participating in the process. At the national level, Madre de Dios is being considered by the Ministry of Environment as a model for other regions and as a priority region in the National REDD+ strategy. Beyond Peru, GOREMAD presented its experience in the Governors’ Climate and Forests Task Force (GCF) in 2012, a subnational collaboration between 19 states and provinces of key tropical forest nations that seeks to advance jurisdictional REDD+ programs—and will host the organization’s 2013 annual meeting. Challenges Regional management discontinuity and regional political instability prevent progress and negatively impact or delay planned activities. Lessons learned n In order to guarantee the continuity of processes when there is a high rotation of local government officials, it is essential to create a critical mass of trained professionals and technicians at the subnational level who live and work locally. n Participatory processes take time. Although the strength of this initiative comes from the collaboration between civil society and the regional government in validating and recognizing resulting products, this takes time and should be considered in planning.
