The objectives of this project are: (a) Support the government of Honduras in the generation of a roadmap for the implementation of the NDC, ensuring that there is coordination with current and planned initiatives. This requires developing coordination mechanisms and coordinating with other initiatives underway at the national level.

This includes a prioritization of measures, an analysis of financial needs and gaps, barriers and measures to mitigate risks to ensure sustainability in the long term. (b) Support the government of Honduras in the preparation of a concept note for REDD+ Simplified Approval Process (including project summary, details, financing information and annexes), validate with government representatives and key stakeholders for final version. (c) Support the government of Honduras to update the GCF Country Programme and No-Objection.
