Introduction and Context Country Context The project will support ongoing and new DGM projects in Burkina Faso, Brazil, Ghana, DRC, Peru, Mozambique, Cote d'Ivoire, Guatemala, Nepal. The decision regarding other countries will be made during FY20-21 based on the funding availability of the Strategic Climate Fund (SCF) grant resources. Oct 16, 2019 Page 2 of 6 The World Bank Additional Financing for DGM Program and Global Learning and Knowledge Exchange Project Sectoral and Institutional Context Greater voice and role for Indigenous Peoples and local communities would make REDD+ more effective in achieving its goals. That conservation and livelihood objectives can be achieved in forests under Indigenous or community management has been known and promoted for decades, and reaffirmed with more analyses. The lower rates of deforestation in such community managed areas could in turn lead to better climate mitigation outcomes. While community participation at project level is fairly prevalent in forestry programs, it needs to be strengthened significantly at strategic and policy levels. Global climate mitigation and REDD+ efforts are a result of international and national discussions, offering limited opportunities to integrate the ideas and traditional knowledge and expertise of communities. Often, capacity and resource barriers constrain their engagement in these processes. Indigenous Peoples groups have expressed in international forums the need for dedicated resources9 to overcome such capacity and resource barriers to their participation on a sustained basis. Such dedicated resources would also facilitate a better understanding and Public Disclosure Copy appreciation of Indigenous and traditional knowledge of biodiversity, forest management and agroforestry which have an important role in the development of robust climate resilience strategies. Relationship to CPF N/A C. Project Development Objective(s) Proposed Development Objective(s) The objective of the Global Learning and Knowledge Exchange Project is to organize and facilitate knowledge exchange, learning and capacity building for IPLCs at regional and global levels, and to strengthen the networks and alliances of IPLC organizations within and across regions with a view to enhancing their representation and voice in regional and global policy fora. Key Results The additional financing will continue to (i) establishing and strengthening representative IPLC-led governing bodies for DGM decision-making in FIP countries and at the global level; (ii) providing grants to IPLCs in FIP countries for initiatives consistent with DGM and FIP criteria; (iii) providing training and capacity development in leadership, management and technical skills to IPLCs at country and global levels; (iv) facilitating knowledge exchange and learning on REDD+ and climate change issues between and among IPLCs at regional and global levels; (v) strengthening networks and alliances of IPLC organizations within and across regions; and, (vi) enabling scale up of successful local solutions for forest and landscape management. D. Preliminary Description Oct 16, 2019 Page 3 of 6 The World Bank Additional Financing for DGM Program and Global Learning and Knowledge Exchange Project Activities/Components The proposed components under the additional financing will include three components: Component 1: Global Learning. Global and regional capacity building and knowledge exchanges to learn from implementation of community-led national DGM projects and other relevant experiences. As well as strengthening capacities of regional and/or global IPLC organizations and networks and facilitating their participation in REDD+ and climate change negotiations, including trainings on international negotiations, and other relevant international policy dialogues and processes. Component 2: Support to GSC, GRM, and Partnerships. Under this component, the Global Executing Agency (GEA) will provide secretariat services to the Global Steering Committee (GSC) members. These secretariat services will include (revision of specific provisions of the DGM Operational Guidelines, facilitation of GSC rules and procedures, facilitation of GSC Sub-Committee members and Co-chairs, GSC meetings, facilitation a grievance redress mechanism for the GSC, and others). Public Disclosure Copy Component 3: Coordination, Monitoring & Reporting, and Communications. Under this component the GEA will provide coordination, monitoring and reporting support such as preparing workplans, budget requests, produce semi-annual reports, and annual reports. Additionally, the GEA will provide communications and outreach support on the DGM including website maintenance, social media outreach, production of newsletters, blogs, videos and a wider program outreach.

Moreover, the leadership role of IPLCs in the Public Disclosure Copy governing body of the program ensures that the stakeholders steer the program which will lead to positive outcomes on the social side.
