Abstract

This National REDD+ Investment Framework and Action Plan (NRIFAP) is a cross-sectoral five year (2018-2022) USD 99 million investment framework financed from both domestic and international sources. The vision for REDD+ has been developed as: "Forests and beyond; sustaining life and livelihoods in a greener Sri Lanka”. Sri Lanka will harness the transformational potential of REDD+ to ensure improved land management practices that protect, maintain and enhance ecological functions and social benefits, while sustaining current economic growth. This Vision forms part of the national approach to improving the overall effectiveness of the country’s forest and land management regimes. A number of key cross cutting goals to be achieved through REDD+ include: climate change mitigation; sustainable land management; restoration and maintenance of ecosystem services; sustaining current economic growth; and minimize natural disaster risks. To address the identified drivers of forest cover change, the NRIFAP identified 13 Policies and Measures (PAMs), which have been categorized under three priority policy areas: (i) Forest, Wildlife and Watershed, (ii) Land Use Planning and (iii) Other Forested Lands.
