Background The UNDP-GEF project, Support to Reduced Deforestation Commodity Production also known as the GGP Production Project, is a child project under the UNDP-GEF 6 Integrated Approach Pilot (IAP) program: Taking Deforestation out of Commodity Supply Chains, known since its launch in September 2017 as the Good Growth Partnership (GGP). The GGP is advancing an integrated supply chain approach to tackling the underlying root causes of deforestation from agriculture commodities, specifically palm oil that contributes to deforestation in Liberia. This approach consists of linked projects covering production, demand, transactions, and knowledge management and learning. As part of an integrated, supply chain approach the Production project will create linkages and synergies to overcome barriers that pose systemic challenges to reduced deforestation commodity production across regions and commodity markets. The selected approach seeks to catalyze the development or transformation of national and sub-national systems based on some key levers: 1) dialogue, action planning, policies and enforcement, 2) farmer support systems, and 3) land use mapping and planning. |
