II. R-Package Self-Assessment To achieve these results, the project is organized in five components: 1 - Readiness 3 - Emissions 2 - REDD+ Strategy Organization and Reference Level / Preparation Consultation Forest Reference Level 4 - Forest and 5 - M&E Framework Safeguards Monitoring and Grant Systems Management
II. R-Package Self-Assessment Component Subcomponent Progress 1: Organization and 1a: National management mechanisms for REDD + Consultations for the preparation 1b: Consultation, dissemination and social participation 2a: Evaluation on land use, the causal factors of changes in land use, forest law, policy and management 2: Preparation of the REDD + 2b: REDD+ Strategy options strategy 2c: Execution framework 2d: Social and Environmental Impacts 3: Reference Level 4: Forest monitoring system 4a: National forest monitoring system and information on 4b: Information system of safeguards, co-benefits and other impacts. safeguards GREEN There are significant advances YELLOW There are advances, but there is still work to be done There is no progress RED 5

III. Readiness process progress C2. National REDD+ Strategy Preparation • Analysis of drivers of DD and strategic options to address the drivers Priority Causal direct- Deforestation Causal Direct-Degradation Cattle grazing in forests Very High Commercial Livestock Extraction of wood, firewood / coal Badly managed / poorly executed Illegal logging of natural forest management plans Commercial Agriculture Medium and low intensity fires High Introduction of alien / invasive species Migratory agriculture / subsistence Opencast mining Extraction of wood forest products Medium Extraction of wood, firewood / coal Illegal logging of natural forest 9
III. Readiness process progress C2. National REDD+ Strategy Preparation Indirect causes of deforestation and forest degradation 10
III. Readiness process progress C2. National REDD+ Strategy Preparation Strategic options to address the drivers 1. Strengthen the legal and institutional framework for the conservation of Natural heritage and the sustainable use of natural resources 2. Establish, strengthen and implement public policies to limit and/or contain the expansion of the agricultural, livestock and infrastructure frontier in forested areas 3. Promote natural resource management models that contribute to the conservation and sustainable use of forests and increase forest cover 11
III. Readiness process progress C2. National REDD+ Strategy Preparation Strategy preparation Program and Project Benefit National REDD+ REDD+ Data Distribution Strategy Management System Plan Study 12
III. Readiness process progress C2. National REDD+ Strategy Preparation Cost/benefit analysis study and financing plan Government: Accumulated gap at year 5 = less than USD $ 7 M. Recovery in year 6 with ER payments Private Sector: An investment (Financing) of USD $ 109 M is required 13
III. Readiness process progress C2. National REDD+ Strategy Preparation Cost/benefit analysis study and financing plan Forest carbon ownership study • There are no legal limitations • For clarity and transparency, a presidential decree is recommended Analysis of the legal, institutional framework for REDD+ safeguards • Determination of strengths • Identification of weaknesses • Weaknesses to be addressed in the ENREDD+ 14
III. Readiness process progress C3. Forest and Forest Emissions Reference Levels Land use and land change maps 2005-2010-2015 15
III. Readiness process progress C3. Forest and Forest Emissions Reference Levels Forest emissions reference level • On average DR’s forest emissions total 662,545 tCO2e/year • Based on this estimate, emissions will total on average 3,312,725 tCO2e from 2020 to 2024 • Considering buffers and uncertainty, activities foreseen in the ERP will generate forests emissions reductions and removals by the order of 5,057,154 tCO2e 16

IV. Next steps: REDD+ Readiness phase Aspects to be reinforced No. Communication strategy: expansion and reinforcement of the REDD + diffusion campaign, 1 preparation and dissemination of audiovisual materials Enabling measures for the start-up and continuity of the ESMF 2 Strengthening governance for REDD + 3 Capacitation of the REDD+ Executory Entities in safeguards 4 5 Technical and legal training to enable the participation of stakeholders in the REDD + program Development of instruments for MRV 6 Training for organizations and / or potential beneficiaries for the generation of SIS information, 7 monitoring instruments, monitoring of parcels and environmental rights. Equipment installation measurement of permanent forest parcels 8 Strengthening local capacities for forest protection 9 Capacity building for carbon tracking and monitoring in non-forest systems 10 20
