UN-REDD Guidance on REDD Corruption Risk Assessment

This guidance was  revised in December 2013 to :

• take into account the results and lessons learned from the pilots in Bangladesh, DRC, Kenya, Peru and the Philippines
• delineate more clearly two distinct but correlated aspects : corruption factors that enable deforestation and degradation,  and new corruption risks brought about by REDD+
• include practical “tip boxes” , e.g. on entry points for anti-corruption work in an RPP or national REDD+ strategy, the value of gender disaggregated data, handling sensitive issues etc

As before, the Guidance combines technical aspects (what to assess) and methodological guidance (how to assess). It can be used both as stand-alone or as a complement to a PGA in countries where transparency and accountability have been identified as priority governance elements, and specific sections are referenced in the draft CAST.
