Version 9 July 2013 This compilation of literature is a living document. It will be updated regularly. In the course of preparations for the expert meeting on Options for Addressing Tenure under REDD+ as well as during the process of writing the analysis Addressing tenure for successful REDD+ - options and opportunities, a profound literature review was carried out. Part of this compilation of literature will be the bibliography of the analysis. However, many other interesting documents on land and forest tenure in the context of REDD+ should be available to the REDD+ community through this compilation.

 This workshop brought together experts from different communities of practice together with experts in REDD+ safeguards to discuss the relevance of different approaches to SIS. This workshop was convened by the REDD+ Social and Environmental Standards (REDD+ SES) Initiative. REDD+ SES is currently supporting 10 countries to develop a country-led, multistakeholder approach to SIS, and therefore has a keen interest in this issue and is well-placed to facilitate an expert dialogue. The recommendations generated from this workshop will directly help countries using REDD+ SES and will also support a broader effort to develop and strengthen SIS, and thus the effectiveness of REDD+ safeguards.

This discussion paper presents the Action Research Project to Develop a National Quality-of-governance Standard for REDD+ and the Forest Sector in Nepal, which was launched by IGES, Griffith University and the University of Southern Queensland. The process of developing a voluntary national standard in Nepal through online surveys, key informant interviews, a multi-stakeholder forum and field consultation, has provided an innovative and field-tested apporach to standards development.
