Governance

Executive Board

The UN-REDD Programme Executive Board has general oversight for the Programme, taking decisions on the allocation of the UN-REDD Programme fund resources. It meets annually, or more frequently as required to efficiently carry out its roles and responsibilities.

Executive board composition

• UN-REDD donors represented by three members
• UN-REDD partner countries represented by three members (Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean)
• Indigenous peoples represented by one permanent observer
• Civil society organizations represented by one permanent observer
• Participating agencies (FAO, UNDP and UNEP) represented by one alternating member
• Multi Partner Trust Fund Office (ex-officio)

Access to information is fundamental to the effective participation of all stakeholders, including the public, in the advancement of REDD+ efforts around the world. Information sharing promotes transparency and accountability and enables public participation in REDD+ activities.

The collaborating UN agencies of the UN-REDD Programme – FAO, UNEP and UNDP – are committed to making information about the Programme and its operations available to the public in the interest of transparency.

As part of this commitment, the Programme publishes annual and semi-annual programme progress reports and provides online public access to real-time funding administration by the Multi-Partner Trust Fund Office.
