Experiences Using REDD+ SES - Nov 2011 - English
 Sustainable Agriculture in a Changing Climate - Agroforestry and certain conservation agriculture practices that increase the carbon content of the landscape provide a real opportunity for carbon finance to deliver on climate mitigation, climate adaptation and poverty reduction goals. However, this is true only if the carbon finance helps to overcome barriers at the farmer and higher levels (and related policy constraints) that are limiting adoption of these practices.The Sustainable Agriculture in a Changing Climate (SACC) project is exploring this opportunity.

HIMA Project: Conserving Zanzibar's Natural Forests - Hifadhi ya Misitu ya Asili (Conservation of Natural Forests), or HIMA, is a four-year (2010-2013) project, which is supported by the Governments of Zanzibar and Norway.

Social assessment of conservation initiatives: A review of rapid methodologies
