Executive summary A.21.1 Programme Executive Summary 1. Project 1 is envisaged to be embedded in a broader programme (see Section A.22), providing a strategic opportunity to achieve a paradigm shift in the forest and land-use sector of Lao PDR. 2. Laos has embraced REDD+ as a way to address its principal source of GHG emissions. Laos has been working on REDD+ readiness preparation since it was selected as one of 47 participants in the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF) in 2007. Lao PDR was accepted as one of the eight pilot countries of the Forest Investment Programme (FIP), under the umbrella of the Climate Investment Fund (CIF), in March 2010. In August 2014, the Department of Forestry received a USD 3.6 million grant from the FCPF to implement approved readiness preparation proposal (R-PP) activities, including the preparation of a National REDD+ Strategy, a benefit-sharing mechanism and safeguards (Strategic Environmental and Social Assessment). Two prominent bilateral assistance programmes are those supported by the Government of Germany – the Climate Protection through Avoided Deforestation (CliPAD) programme (GIZ) – and the Government of Japan’s Sustainable Forest Management and REDD+ Programme (F-REDD). F-REDD and CliPAD, together with FAO, supported the Department of Forestry throughout the process of seeking – and ultimately achieving - acceptance into the FCPF Carbon Fund. 3. In recent years, Laos has progressed substantially towards REDD+ readiness, notably through the acceptance of the FRL/FREL, the finalised REDD+ Strategy, the Strategic and Social Environmental Assessment (SESA) and the Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF), as well as the final acceptance of the Emission Reductions Programme Document (ER-PD). The government has introduced bold policies and reforms, including ambitious NDC targets (70% forest cover), a timber export ban and a new Forest Law. Lao PDR is now strategically 1 The GIZ Letter of Internal Approval is provided in Annex 15. GREEN CLIMATE FUND FUNDING PROPOSAL V.2.0 | PAGE 3 OF 95 A well-placed for Phase 2 of REDD+ (implementation) in order to reduce forest-sector emissions and to achieve true paradigm shift. 4. To achieve such a paradigm shift, the programme in which Project 1 is embedded: Strengthens the enabling environment for REDD+ through 3 principal means: enhancing the availability of financing for a deep transformation in the way Laos manages its forest landscapes – including through supporting a REDD+ Funding Window; revising and strengthening the legal and regulatory framework for forestry; and improving the enforcement of the new regulatory framework. Supports deforestation-free agriculture and agroforestry by enhancing productivity, increasing farmers’ integration into agricultural value chains, and improving access to finance and private sector participation in economic activities that reduce pressure on forests. Supports the implementation of sustainable forest landscape management (SFM) and forest landscape restoration (FLR) on over 1.5 million ha of degraded lands. 5. The

The results showed that: (1) “forest land—cultivated land—grassland” was the primary landscape structure. Woodland was the major land cover type, while paddy field was the dominant land use type replaced by rubber plantation in 2010; (2) since the opening of the border crossings in 1994, the rate and intensity of land use change were accelerated and enhanced gradually, especially in the recent decade. Woodland decreased significantly, while shrubland, rubber plantation and swidden land increased obviously. Rubber plantation and swidden land showed the fastest growth derived from woodland and shrubland, indicating continuous human activities and slash-and-burn farming; and (3) during 1990–2010, swidden land was mainly located in northern mountainous areas with frequently increased changing spatial distribution in the recent decade.

  • Agrarian Land Use Transformation in Northern Laos: from Swidden to Rubber
    Kyoto University Southeast Asian Studies, Vol. 47, No. 3, December 2009 Agrarian Land Use Transformation in Northern Laos: from Swidden to Rubber Sithong THONGMANIVONG,* FUJITA Yayoi,** Khamla PHANVILAY* and Thoumthone VONGVISOUK*** Abstract Land use and farmers’ livelihoods in mountainous regions of northern Laos are rapidly moving away from subsistence to market based agricultural systems, changing farmers’ relationship with land and natural resources. The current study examines patterns of land use change in northern Laos, especially focusing on the expansion of agricultural land in upland areas. It also examines factors that influence local farmers’ livelihood and their decisions on land use. A series of government policies that were implemented since the 1980s restricted upland farmers’ access to upland fields and fallow forests, and led to the relocation of upland communities. The opening of regional borders for trade in the early 1990s, which brought new economic opportunities for local farmers, further accelerated the demand for agricultural land and led to a concentration of population in settlements along the road. A combination of both external and internal factors are influencing households in rural areas to actively seek new economic opportunities and adapt their livelihood basis, as well as altering their relationship with land and resources. This rapid transforma- tion also questions the effectiveness of the government’s resource management policy that developed during the 1990s aiming to control expansion of upland shifting cultivation practices through delineation of resource boundaries. Keywords: northern Laos, upland, land use, livelihood change, rubber I Introduction Recent studies on land use change point out a complex relationship between direct and indirect factors that influence deforestation [Geist and Lambin 2002; Lambin et al.

  • Agrarian Land Use Transformation in Upland Areas of Northern Laos
    SSLWM Workshop Thongmanivong et al. (2006) AGRARIAN LAND USE TRANSFORMATION IN UPLAND AREAS OF NORTHERN LAOS. Khamla Phanvilay, Sithong Thongmanivong Faculty of Forestry, National University of Laos Yayoi Fujita Lao-Swedish Upland Agriculture and Forestry Project, National Agriculture and Forestry Research Institute of Laos Jefferson Fox East West Center Abstract Farmers in northern Laos are experiencing rapid transformation from subsistence agriucltural production to intensive cash crop cultivation since the last decade. This transformation has been especially accompanied by conversion of sercondary forest areas in the upland which have been part of the upland swidden system into permanent agricultural land. Introduction of new crops such as sugar cane, maize, and rubber are incurring new economic opportunities for the upland farmers which have been primarily dependent on upland rice cultivation for household food consumption. While commercialization of agricultural production in the upland areas is promoted by the government which aims to alleviate rural poverty, by providing an alternative to shifting cultivation and opium production in the upland areas, not all upland communities are able to catpure the emerging opportunities. The current research examines land use change patterns and driving forces of farmer’s decisions on changing land use and selecting crops particularly in areas along the new North-South Economic Corridor that passess through Luang Namtha and Bokeo provinces in northwest Laos. We incoporate spatial analysis using Landsat and Aster sattelite images from different time periods to understand the recent trend of land use change in Sing and Vieng Phoukha District of Louang Namtha Province as well as Houayxay District of Bokeo Province.
