Mexico Forests and Climate Change Project

Wordl Bank. Project Development Objective is: to support rural communities in Mexico to sustainably manage their forests, build social organization, and generate additional income from forest products and services including the Reduction of Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+).

The project would help consolidate and improve CONAFOR#s incentive programs for community forestry and environmental services, and utilize them as key elements of the national REDD+ strategy. It would also help strengthen CONAFOR as a world-class forest agency, promote the alignment of rural development policies and programs, and pilot innovative REDD+ approaches in two Early Action areas.

Component 1. Policy Design and Institutional Strengthening. (IBRD US$30m, and FIP US$11.66m grant). This component would aim to strengthen CONAFOR as a leading forest agency worldwide, foster cross-sector collaboration among public agencies, and improve the quality of private technical assistance available to communities.

Component 2. Consolidation of Priority Community-Based Programs at National Level.(IBRD US$270m). This component will continue and scale up previous successful Bank engagement in community forestry and payments for environmental services with Mexico. It will support demand-driven community-based sub-projects related to social organization, capacity-building and land-use planning, as well as the protection, sustainable management, harvesting, processing and marketing of forest goods and services. Support to selected communities would be provided in the form of grants following the existing CONAFOR procedures (reglas operativas) which are reviewed and updated annually.
