The boundaries, colors, denominations, and other information shown on any map in the ER-PIN do not imply on the part of the World Bank any judgment on the legal status of any territory or the endorsement or acceptance of such boundaries. Guidelines: 1. The FCPF Carbon Fund will deliver Emission Reductions (ERs) from activities that reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, conserve forests, promote the sustainable management of forests, and enhance forest carbon stocks in developing countries (REDD+REDD+) to the Carbon Fund Participants. 2. A REDDREDD+ Country Participant interested in proposing an ER Program to the Carbon Fund should refer to the selection criteria included in the Carbon Fund Issues Note available on the FCPF website (www.forestcarbonpartnership.org) and to further guidance that may be communicated by the FCPF Facility Management Team (FMT) over time. 3. ER Programs shall come from FCPF REDDREDD+ Country Participants that have signed their Readiness Preparation Grant Agreement, using this ER Program Idea Note (‘ER-PIN’) template. 4. The completed ER-PIN should ideally not exceed 40 pages in length (including maps, data tables, etc.). If additional information is required, the FCPF FMT will request it. 5. Please submit the completed ER-PIN to: 1) the World Bank Country Director for your country; and 2) the FCPF FMT ([email protected]). 6. As per Resolution CFM/4/2012/1 the Carbon Fund Participants’ decision whether to include the ER- PIN in the pipeline will be based on the following criteria: i. Progress towards Readiness: The Emission Reductions Program (ER Program) must be located in a REDD Country Participant that has signed a Readiness Preparation grant agreement (or the equivalent) with a Delivery Partner under the Readiness Fund, and that has prepared a reasonable and credible timeline to submit a Readiness Package to the Participants Committee; ii. Political commitment: The REDD Country Participant demonstrates a high-level and cross-sectoral political commitment to the ER Program, and to implementing REDD+; iii. Methodological Framework: The ER Program must be consistent with the emerging Methodological Framework, including the PC’s guiding principles on the methodological framework; iv. Scale: The ER Program will be implemented either at the national level or at a significant sub-national scale, and generate a large volume of Emission Reductions; v. Technical soundness: All the sections of the ER-PIN template are adequately addressed; vi. Non-carbon benefits: The ER Program will generate substantial non-carbon benefits; and vii. Diversity and learning value: The ER Program contains innovative features, such that its inclusion in the portfolio would add diversity and generate learning value for the Carbon Fund. 3 ER-Program Republic of Congo FCPF Carbon Fund ER-PIN Template v.4 August, 2013 14 March 2014 1.
