El programa ONU-REDD a nivel global cuenta con un extenso trabajo en materia de género el cual orienta no solo la preparación de las estrategias nacionales de Reducción de emisiones por deforestación y degradación de bosques ENREDD+), sino que condensa buena parte de los aprendizajes generados hasta el momento no solo por el Programa, sino también por las Agencias de naciones unidas que lo lideran. dicho trabajo se centra en la necesidad de establecer canales de participación amplios e informados que tiendan a corregir los desbalances estructurales en los pilares que sostienen los programas REDD+, todos estos relacionados de una u otra forma con los ejes de análisis en materia de género que son; división sexual del trabajo, acceso a recursos y control sobre los recursos, y la participación sustantiva.

Land use is the foundation of the Burmese economy. As the Burmese banking sector develops and expands, it will be exposed to new challenges associated with unsustainable land use and deforestation. This brief is the second in a two-part series; the first infobrief examined how the Burmese banking sector could be exposed to risk generated through unsustainable land use and deforestation. This second part focuses on measures that Burmese banks can take to minimize any exposure to unsustainable land use and deforestation, while aligning their portfolio with sustainable and profitable businesses that are able to foster and reinforce a healthy functioning environment.

Based on desk research and interviews, this report concludes that investments in bamboo carry the highest potential to restore, protect or recover forests as Ethiopia committed in 2014 to restore 15 million hectares by 2030. In doing so, there may be possibilities to harness the potential of both international development finance institutions as well as domestic finance institutions, given that Ethiopia is at the moment an underbanked country with little domestic or international funding flowing to forest-friendly projects that contribute to REDD+.
