3. Why is a strategic platform for sustainable landscapes needed?
Fragmentation of investments, institutions, incentives, and information is very expensive.
A more efficient, cost-effective programmatic approach could deliver greater synergetic results than business as usual.

Landscape definition in Lao context
Objective of the platform
How can we make it happen?
Build on existing mechanism: Roundtable Meeting, National Green Growth Steering Committee
At what levels?
National level
Provincial level
Examples of its added-value include:
Strengthen country ownership
Promote horizontal and vertical integration of environmental and natural resources concerns into decision making process
Recognize trade-offs between socio-economic and ecological objectives that can—and will—occur
Avoid duplication of efforts and fill investment gaps
Deploy existing institutional capacity and human capital more effectively
Increase ability and opportunities for leveraging funds from public and private sources
Align investment with incentives and public policy
Boost forest revenues
Convene information from different sectors and stakeholders

7. Structure of the platform
National
Chaired by?
Secretariat
Technical team

8. We also discussed details of project design
Project should identify needs, define landscape, set criteria for landscape selection…
More ministries want to be part of the project
Linkage between national and sub-national
Legal and regulatory framework and enforcement
Community engagement and participation
Incentives for credible private sector (e.g. Tourism, plantation, agriculture)
Offset

9. Monitoring and evaluation implementation
Metrics:
Aligned with the NSEDP, National Green Growth Strategy and sector targets, Lao PDR’s UNFCCC NDC, UNCBD NBSAP, etc., + a handful of indicators important to measure the effectiveness of the platform itself.
National impact level:
70% forest cover
5% improvement per year in Protected Area management effectiveness (score on Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool)
5% green job growth per year from the portfolio of projects in the landscapes platform
Portfolio and platform processes:
