Live & Learn now has a further seven offices opened in the Asia-­‐Pacific region. The Live & Learn REDD+ program currently operates across Fiji, Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea and Australia. This project will have the support of Live & Learn REDD+ staff and our regional partners. Each Live & Learn Office runs as a locally-­‐registered NGO but receives organisational development support from the Live & Learn International Office in Australia. Each country office is run by local staff to ensure that projects are innovative, culturally appropriate and relevant. Our aim is to promote the integration of environmental, human, cultural and peace concepts in all education projects and programs. We have worked across formal and informal education with a range of government and non-­‐government partners. In 2011 Live & Learn received funding from the Asian Development Bank to “design effective models for governance and implementation of REDD+ in the Solomon Islands to provide equitable benefits for forest-­‐dependent indigenous people.” So far Live & Learn has: • produced a facilitator’s guide for educating communities on Climate Change, REDD+ and the value of Forests (now being tested regionally), • produced detailed reports on land tenure and carbon property rightsand implications for community REDD+ in the Solomon Islands, • produced a detailed report on REDD+ Readiness in the Solomon Islands and current governance arrangements in the country, • developed an MOU with Natural Resources Development Foundation (NRDF), • engaged two communities in a Rapid Assessment of Perceptions and subsequent education in climate change and REDD+. • Enhanced the capacity of local staff to work in REDD+ including attendance at international training and conferences The work of our Solomon Islands and Regional REDD+ team has attracted the interest of international donors who are keen to provide financial and technical support to develop the project into a full implementation phase. 10
