Goals are formal statements that detail the desired impact of the plan and are:  Linked to targets  Impact orientated  Specific  Measurable  Time limited (generally 10 years or more)

Objectives are formal statements detailing the desired outcomes of the plan and are:  Results orientated  Practical  Specific  Measurable  Time limited (generally three to ten years)

 Results-based management is a strategic management approach used to plan, cost, implement, monitor and measure the changes from cooperation, rather than just the inputs provided or activities conducted.

Rules of the Game Objective: Rules of the Game

 Why is it important to set Goals and Objectives for a Low Emission Land use Planning (LELUP) process?  What might be a goal and objective for a LELUP process?

Negotiate and Prioritize Implementati on Plan  Understanding CONTEXT  A future VISION of the landscape.  Description of CRITICAL FACTORS.  Establish CRITERIA.

Objective 1 Understand that will have many objectives  Maximize positive impact  Minimize negative impact  Optimize all impact Objective 2 Objective 3

Early in the Planning Process  Increased carbon storage  Positive economic growth  Improved drinking water accessibility Later in the Planning Process  10% increase over 3 years  2.5% growth increase per year  2 new wells in remote villages per year

Some goals may already be established by an existing plan at a higher level National Province District

Some goals may already be established by an existing plan at a lower level Commune Province District

Provincial SEDP: increase annual GDP from 12-15% National Vietnam Policy: maintain 60% forest cover Provincial SEDP: reduce population growth to 1.3% Bao Lam SFC: actively manage 17,300 ha production forest Local Communities: PFES contracting to protect specific forest areas Lam Dong Province Land Use Plan

National Influencing Factors Within 10 years: 1. 20% GHG reductions 2. 20% economic growth 3. Lower poverty rate by 20% 4. Mainstream REDD+ into FPDP Need to examine the issue/problem??? Local Influencing Factors 1. PFES in place in several Districts 2. State Forest Companies manage both production and protection of forest

 Which of the previous goals are qualitative versus quantitative?  Should or can the quantitative goals be refined? How or Why?  How do we develop an integrated LE LUP?

Environmental 1. Maintain 61% forest cover by Take proactive action to cope with climate change 3. Maintain or improve ecological integrity

Economic 1. Increase annual GDP growth rate from 12 to 15% 2. Increase GDP per capita to 2300 USD by No poor households by 2020

Social 1. Reduce population growth to 1.3% (2015) and 1.2% (2020) 2. 85% of rural populations will have access to fresh water by 2015 and 100% by Number of malnutrition under 5 years of age reduced to less than 5% by 2020.

 Which of the previous goals are qualitative versus quantitative?  Should or can the quantitative goals be refined? How or Why?  How do we develop an integrated LE LUP?

Any method or tool that gets stakeholders communicating is a successful one  Be creative  Different tools or methods may be needed for different stakeholders

The Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation

 A contextual understanding of LU LEP  Setting objectives that stakeholders can measure their needs against

 A common vision.  Identify major ‘drivers’ and inter-connections.

FOREST Watershed FARM PARK FARM City Provence

 National level policies and strategies may have set arbitrary GHG emission reduction targets which are expected to be met at the sub-national level.  The need to quickly access funds creates goals and targets that can be unrealistic.  The development of goals and objectives is considered a one-of process.

 Low Emission Land Use Planning can align incentives for cross-sectorial integration
