Project Development Objective(s) The PDO is to develop an investment plan for Zambia's National REDD+ Strategy while also meeting the objectives of the Forestry Investment Program (FIP). C. Project Description The grant would finance the development of a National REDD+ Strategy Investment Plan (IP) for the country. The IP process is Government-owned, led through the ICCS, but will include other ministries and stakeholders as necessary. The grant's objective would be accomplished through analysis of key development plans, policies, strategies, and existing or planned investment operations; identifying financing opportunities for climate action/engagement; providing capacity building to key stakeholders; and through broad consultation with key stakeholders and partners. The IP will lay out a roadmap for Zambia to combine and leverage global climate finance opportunities to support a long term sequence of transformational climate investments, comprising possible additional future FIP and Green Climate Fund (GCF) funds, and other multi- or bi-lateral funds as well as private sector financing. Public Disclosure Copy The preparation of a REDD+ investment plan builds on an existing country-led REDD+ planning process which was supported by UN-REDD financing. In other FIP-supported countries, the IP grant has been used to prepare a FIP-specific IP but in this instance the Government of Zambia requested the Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) and the UN agencies to work together and support the government to develop a general investment plan for the implementation of the REDD+ National Strategy. D. Project location and salient physical characteristics relevant to the safeguard analysis (if known) The project would take place at a national scale. No safeguard analyses will be carried out. The project funds would only be used to support fine-tuning and consultations of existing national REDD + safeguard instruments. E.
