Main goals

The Government of Mozambique has launched its first REDD + jurisdictional program in northern Zambezia: the ZILMP program. It plans to reduce deforestation by nearly 30% in 9 districts on more than 4 million hectares. The Government wishes to be able to value these efforts to reduce deforestation through the sale of carbon credit to the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF) managed by the World Bank. The acceptance of this program by the FCPF must open to a purchase of $ 50 million of carbon credits generated.
