Paraguay has experienced important changes in its forest cover over the last several decades mainly due to land use change. The forest cover of the eastern region has been reduced from 55 per cent of the surface area in the 1940s to 24 per cent in the 2000s, eliminating some 6.7 million hectares of forest. The National Programme for Paraguay will support the government in its efforts to overcome the drivers of deforestation and degradation of forests, ensuring that the country is ready for REDD+.
Paraguay will pursue three outcomes to meet this objective:
- Improved institutional and technical capacity of government and civil society organizations to manage REDD+ activities in Paraguay
- Capacity established to implement REDD+ at the local level
- Increased knowledge and capacity building on REDD+ for forest dependent communities, especially Indigenous Peoples and other relevant stakeholders
