Forest Carbon Partnership Facility

Published purpose

This project represents CIDA’s contribution to the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility’s (FCPF) Readiness Fund. The FCPF is a World Bank-managed global partnership that assists developing countries in tropical and sub-tropical regions in their efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and forest degradation. It promotes forest conservation, sustainable management of forests and the enhancement of forest carbon stocks (amount of carbon stored in forest ecosystems). Through the Readiness Fund, developing countries receive technical and financial assistance to help them in the development of strategies, policies, and systems to address deforestation and forest degradation.
