Reduce poverty
Improve food and nutrition security for
health
Improve natural resource systems and ecosystem
services

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.
Harris and Orr, 2014
Large between-site variation of IBI
At some sites, fewer than 50% of households can substantiallybenefit

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
