Overview

Welcome to the Voluntary REDD+ Database

The Voluntary REDD+ Database provides information on REDD+ financing, actions and results that has been reported to the REDD+ Partnership. It aims to improve effectiveness, efficiency, transparency and coordination of REDD+ initiatives; and to support efforts to identify and analyze gaps and overlaps in REDD+ financing. The Database relies solely on data voluntarily submitted by countries and institutions. The core data concerns “arrangements”: agreements to undertake REDD+ related actions, involving funders and recipients. These include both planned and finalized agreements.

The statistics, map, graph and list of arrangements on this page may be viewed “as reported by funders” or “as reported by recipients”, by selecting an option from the green menu bar in the centre of the page. Differences between these summaries are largely a result of arrangements that have only been reported by one party. The REDD+ Partnership encourages input from countries and institutions that have not yet reported on their REDD+ financing, and the VRD Team stand ready to provide advice and assistance.

Data may also be viewed for individual countries and institutions. This information is organized in the same way as the Overview page, though the default view shows data reported by the selected country/institution. To view data reported by others involving that country/institution, select ‘as reported by others’ from the green menu bar in the centre of the page. Information about individual arrangements can be accessed by clicking on them in the “List” view, accessed via the green menu bar.

The user guide offers more details on how to use the VRD to answer your REDD+ financing questions.
