Since the launch of the funding scheme for civil society in 2009, the civil society organizations report on several significant results in the process of working within the field of REDD+. 

From 2009 to 2012 Norad has supported 46 projects which have contributed in various ways to the work on REDD+.

Results

Some results are on a local level: small holder farmers have achieved better yields through more sustainable land use and preserving the forest at the same time, and local communities have gained knowledge about REDD+ and secured their land rights.
