Strengths of the RPP • Compared with the first document the present version contains significant improvements, and most of the components meet the standards. • The proposed institutional arrangement includes a broad range of stakeholders and the Board of Directors has representation from the government, indigenous peoples, private sector and civil society. • Dialogue and consultation process has begun and includes the indigenous and afrohondurans peoples through the MIACC. Consultation strategy is fully elaborated including objectives, methodology and main aspects to be considered • Drivers of deforestation are identified in a qualitative way. Underlying causes of deforestation are also mentioned and explained in the document. More studies are planned to quantify drivers for each forest region.

Strengths of the RPP • REDD strategic options include actions to control illegal logging and eliminate underlying causes, as subsidies or other incentives to the agricultural sector in forest lands. • With respect to the development of the Reference Level, needs for capacity building are identified, and explained with detail. The establishment of the Reference Level considers three levels, planning to start with subregional and regional level and scale it up to the national level. • MRV includes a “bottom – up” approach that adds transparency, ensuring the involvement of a broad range of institutions and communities, including indigenous and afrohondurans peoples .

Further work • Develop further a work plan, identifying activities, institutions and roles for the development of the implementation framework (2c) • A strategy to ensure more participation of the main stakeholders would add quality to the component 2b (strategy options) • Eliminate redundancies that appear as a result of successive versions and corrections to the R-PP document. • Some improvement in the list of acronyms is still necessary
