IBI = 2.16

IBI = 0.15

The IBI is the increase in Personal Daily Income for each additional $ from agricultural activities (increase in net return per hectare)

It provides an indication whether an agricultural intervention is likely to make a significant difference to the income of farmers.

GCS-REDD+ - Verified „impact stories“

Global

– CIFOR contributed to the stepwise approach in setting FRELs/RLs (MRV)

• international expert consultations that led to a UNFCCC decision 2011 for a stepwise approach on setting, measuring and reporting reference levels (UNFCC Decision 12/CP17).

– UNREDD made tenure part of its strategy framework based on information CIFOR generated under this investment (2014)

National

– CIFOR was influential in Indonesia’s REDD decisions

• Supported FORDA directly and was involved the Indonesian National REDD+ Strategy development

• Supplied information that informed the GoI's decisions on the forest moratorium and forest reference emission levels (peatland emission factors)

• Support to establishment of Indonesia National Carbon Accounting System (INCAS) in 2015 (funding from the Government of Australia)

– CIFOR research contributed to the Cameroon R-PP and the Peru National REDD+ Strategy

– CIFOR’s engagement with national technical staff in Guyana and Ethiopia resulted in both countries adopting CIFOR’s stepwise approach
