In addition to its nine initial pilot countries, the UN-REDD Programme supports 18 partner countries across Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America. These partner countries are: Argentina, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, Central African Republic, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Kenya, Mexico, Nepal, Nigeria, the Philippines, Republic of Congo, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka and Sudan.
While current funding is programmed for its nine pilot countries, the Programme’s partner countries have access to many other benefits of the Programme, such as networking, participation in regional workshops and knowledge sharing, as well as observer status to the UN-REDD Programme Policy Board. As the Programme mobilizes more resources, partner countries will be chosen to become pilot countries based on criteria that are currently being developed.
