As part of REDD+ implementation, seven emission reduction program interventions are primarily carried out in 13 Tarai districts. These includes: 1) improve management practices on existing community and collaborative forests, 2) localize forest governance through transfer of national forests to community and collaborative forest user groups, 3) expand private sector forestry operations through improved access to extension services and finance, 4) expand access to alternative energy with biogas and improved cookstoves, 5) scale up pro-poor leasehold forestry, 6) improve integrated land use planning to reduce forest conversion associated with infrastructure development, and 7) improve management of existing protected areas.
