Grant Description

The U.S.

Forest Service (USFS) will provide technical assistance to support RDMA's regional Global Climate Change mitigation programs, including the Low Emissions Asian Development (LEAD) and Lowering Emissions in Asia's Forests (LEAF) programs.

The USFS will provide targeted technical assistance that supports improved forest carbon assessment methodologies, knowledge-sharing platforms focused on agriculture, forestry, and other land use (AFOLU), natural capital assessment, climate change curriculum development, forest degradation measurement and monitoring, fire management, and sustainable land management.

USFS will also facilitate coordination among relevant USG agencies and USAID Missions in the region.

Long-term results include strengthened regional capacity of national and international partners in low emission development strategies (LEDS) and sustainable forest management.
