Summary
Introduction
As part of its commitment to REDD+, Bangladesh requested admission to the UNREDD Programme in May 2010, and were formally accepted into the Programme
in August 2010.
In the process, Government of Bangladesh requested UNDP for expedited
support to the country in preparing the REDD+ Readiness Roadmap. In
response, UNDP Country Office allocated resources for preparing the REDD+
Readiness Roadmap. Beyond its role in the UN-REDD Programme, UNDP is also
committed to supporting the Government of Bangladesh on a range of
environmental issues, including REDD+. At the request of the Government, the
UNDP/UN-REDD Regional Coordinator undertook a mission to Bangladesh from
June 26-30, 2011, to meet with government and other stakeholders. On the basis
of the discussions and inputs provided by the government and other key
stakeholders, the Mission submitted a report on ‘Opportunities for UNDP
Support to REDD+ Readiness in Bangladesh’ in July 2011.
Subsequently in August 2011, as requested by the government, REDD+
Readiness Roadmap Technical Team was mobilized comprising national and
international experts and REDD National Focal Point. The Technical Team
prepared the draft operational plan in continuation of the earlier mission report,

Bangladesh REDD+ Roadmap
Operational Plan
August 2011 – March 2012
Introduction
As part of its commitment to REDD+, Bangladesh requested admission to the UNREDD Programme in May 2010, and were formally accepted into the Programme
in August 2010.
In the process, Government of Bangladesh requested UNDP for expedited
support to the country in preparing the REDD+ Readiness Roadmap. In
response, UNDP Country Office allocated resources for preparing the REDD+
Readiness Roadmap. Beyond its role in the UN-REDD Programme, UNDP is also
committed to supporting the Government of Bangladesh on a range of
environmental issues, including REDD+. At the request of the Government, the
UNDP/UN-REDD Regional Coordinator undertook a mission to Bangladesh from
June 26-30, 2011, to meet with government and other stakeholders. On the basis
of the discussions and inputs provided by the government and other key
stakeholders, the Mission submitted a report on ‘Opportunities for UNDP
Support to REDD+ Readiness in Bangladesh’ in July 2011.
Subsequently in August 2011, as requested by the government, REDD+
Readiness Roadmap Technical Team was mobilized comprising national and
international experts and REDD National Focal Point. The Technical Team
prepared the following draft operational plan in continuation of the earlier
mission report, key stakeholder consultation and guidance provided by the
National Steering Committee on REDD. Output specific operational plan is given
below:
Output 1: Preliminary REDD+ Strategy
Activity 1.1: Legal and Policy Framework analysis for REDD+
Compilation of existing legal instruments and policies:
Provide a list of all policies and legal instruments relating to the forest sector to
the team e.g. Forest Act 1927, National Forest Policy 1994, Climate Change
Strategic Action Plan 2009. The list will include a summary of key information as
follows:
Page 4 of 18
- Date passed;
- key provisions;
- dates and content of any revisions;
- implementing agencies;
- key constraints to implementation;
- links and conflicts with other policies and legislation.
The list will be provided in tabular format, and soft copies of the original
documents (in English) will also be provided. Use existing analyses and reports
whenever possible to avoid duplication of previous work.
Action: HB to provide list as soon as possible (latest by 15 September)
Analysis of existing policies against objectives of REDD+:
Using the list of legal instruments and policies provided by HK (plus any other
relevant policies from non-forest sectors), evaluate the actual and potential
impacts (if any) of each individual policy measure on the following:
- Sustainable Forest Management
- Forest Area
- Forest Biomass
- Forest Biodiversity
- Conflict between forest stakeholders
Use secondary data (previous studies and analyses) where possible and
available. Use empirical evidence where possible, in preference to anecdotal
evidence. Resulting document should be between 5-10 pages. Use as base
material for stakeholder consultation exercises during 2nd team mission in early
October; summary handout and powerpoint presentation. Revise conclusions as
necessary based on outcomes of stakeholder consultations.
Action: AK to prepare analysis document, summary handout and
presentation by end of September
Outcomes of Social Forestry and Co-management policies:
Using policy materials provided by HK and secondary materials (existing
analyses and reports), produce a document outlining the following:
- identifiable impacts of these policy instruments
- comparison with equivalent policies in other countries of the region
- SWOT analysis of social forestry/co-management
Use empirical evidence in preference to anecdotal evidence. Prepare a summary
document and powerpoint presentation as material for October consultation
exercises. Revise conclusions as necessary based on outcomes of stakeholder
consultations.
Action: BV to prepare analysis document, summary handout and
presentation by end of September. AK and HB to provide necessary
background materials as available.

will be required (not an exhaustive list):
- Rural development
- Local government (planning)
Page 5 of 18
- Agriculture
- Fisheries
- Transport
- Mining
- Finance
- Defence
- Health (population)
- Climate Change adaptation (disaster risk reduction)
Existing and potential conflicts between these sectors and forestry policy will be
outlined. The potential impact of a REDD+ programme on these conflicts will
then be examined. Prepare a summary document and presentation for
stakeholder consultation in October.
Action: AK to prepare necessary outputs by end September.
Land tenure systems in different forest types and areas:
An account of forest land tenure and use rights in the three following areas:
- Chittagong Hill Tracts
- Coastal zones
- Sal forest
Action: HB to prepare this account by end September.
Activity 1.2: Analysis of Drivers of Deforestation/Degradation and
Constraints to the Forest Sector
Analysis of proximate and ultimate drivers of losses to forest area and
biomass:
Develop a framework for analysis of drivers for each of the three key forest areas
(CHT, coastal, sal), including (but not limited to) the following:
- Description of forest conditions and trends
- Identification of potential areas for improvement on current
condictions/trends, in terms of the following (where relevant):
o Expansion of forest area
o Sustainable management of forests
o Forest biodiversity
o Forest-based livelihoods
- Identification of constraints to achieving these improvements in terms of:
o Governance (with reference to policy analysis in activity 1.1)
o Environment (climatic and environmental factors beyond human
control)
o Socio-political (including conflict, cultural and social factors
including gender roles, education)
o Economic (including local poverty levels, income distribution,
income disparity, barriers to communication and trade)
Reference to secondary sources is preferred (e.g. previous studies and analyses)
where such sources are appropriate and available. A draft of this analysis will be
discussed among the team during the mission in October.
Action: HB and AK to develop the analysis framework by end of August,
dividing responsibility between them. Completion of draft analysis by end of
Page 6 of 18
September.
Activity 1.3: Mapping and Analysing Existing Initiatives and Projects
Interviews with project staff:
Identify existing projects and programmes which are explicitly concerned with
forests and climate change. Identify key staff members of the project and
interview to ascertain their views on:
- contribution of the project to a future national REDD+ programme
- incorporation of the project under a future national REDD+ programme
Action: CO to provide list of projects and programmes, devise interview
outline, conduct and record interview results
Analysis of project reports and other documents:
Review project proposals, plans and reports, plus any other relevant documents
and evidence of impacts. Prepare a summary document which compares project
objectives and outcomes with analysis of drivers (above).
Action: CO to provide BV with project documents. AK/BV to prepare
summary analysis by end September.
Activity 1.4: Potential REDD+ Strategies in three Forest Areas
Using policy analysis, driver analysis and existing project analysis as base
materials, identify appropriate interventions under a future REDD+ country
programme, according to:
- Policy interventions
- Forest management interventions
Action: To be discussed and determined during October mission
Output 2: REDD+ Readiness Management Structure
Activity 2.1: Draft Management Structure:
Examine REDD+ management structures in other UNREDD partner
countries: Produce an organizational chart, including constitution, terms of
reference, composition and operational guidelines of each body, and
relationships between them. The structure will consist of at least three core
units for a REDD+ programme:
- governing (decision-making) body
- executive (technical) body
- consultative forum
Action: BV to draft and deliver this outline by 15 September.
Page 7 of 18
Activity 2.2: Create Multi-stakeholder Forum:
Identify key members of forum through key informants:
Create a list of key informants for the forest sector, including (not an exhaustive
list):
- government officials from forest and non-forest sectors,
- civil society representatives,
- national and international non-government organisations,
- projects and donor agencies,
- private sector and
- political/cultural/religious organisations.
This list will initially be based on the knowledge and experience of team
members. Thereafter, interviews with key informants themselves will serve to
identify the appropriate source of stakeholders to represent a cross-section of
interests. Key informants will be asked to suggest, for each of the above
categories, one or more groups/organisations. The key factor in an
organisation’s suitability is their accountability to the interest group concerned.
Individuals should only be nominated where it is clear that they, rather than an
organization, are directly accountable to a constituency.
These consultations on forum members should be conducted through face-toface meetings or by phone where possible, rather than by email or survey, to
ensure timely completion. The team will thus create an objectively-verified list
of invitees to the initial REDD+ multi-stakeholder forum meeting in early
October.
Action: AK/HB to conduct key informant interviews and create invitee list by
15 Sept, and send invitations to initial REDD+ multi-stakeholder forum
meeting, to be held in Dhaka on 4 or 5 October.
Activity 2.3: Recommend REDD+ management structure for Bangladesh:
Adapt draft management structure to Bangladesh context:
Produce a summary of existing REDD+ committees’ compositions, roles and
interactions. Based on this summary, adjust the draft management structure
(above) to reflect the Bangladesh context. This draft will be presented and
discussed during stakeholder forum meetings in October. The initial forum
meeting will have, as one of its key objectives, the endorsement of a national
REDD+ management structure.
Action: AK/HB to provide BV with summary of existing REDD+ committees.
BV to prepare recommendation for Bangladesh REDD+ management
structure by end September. Incorporate session on REDD+ management
structure discussion into stakeholder meeting on 4/5 October.
Output 3: REDD+ Capacity Building Strategy
