Progress with Due Diligence Activities in Panama
Participants Committee Meeting (FCPF PC5)La Lopé National Park, Gabon.
March 22-24, 2010
• FCPF PC approved the Panama R-PP in June, 2009, and requested to proceed with World Bank due diligence activities for a $3.6 m preparation grant.
• The new government of Panama took office on July 1, 2009.
• The World Bank has conducted two missions to Panama in July, 2009 and in February 2010 to:– Re-engage the new administration on going forward with the
FCPF/World Bank activities;– Define the next steps for the “due diligence” process of the Bank;– Inclusion of a broader stakeholder consultation and participation
(other relevant government entities; Indigenous Peoples; NGOs; rural communities; Donors; research institutes; private sector; etc.)
– Define operational steps for ensuring harmonization and coordination with UN-REDD and other donors under a national REDD program.
Background
Accomplishments
• Renewed commitment of the new government to continue with the FCPF Readiness process: two meetings in 9/02 and 2/10
• Establishment of the National REDD Working Group: government agencies, private sector, Indigenous Peoples, NGO’s, Universities, civil society, UN-REDD and other donors.
• Articulation of SESA: working session focusing on (i) preliminary stakeholder analysis; (ii) identification of main social and environmental risks; and (iii) documentation of initial dialogue with key stakeholders regarding the process.
Progress to Date
Accomplishments (cont.)
• Institutional arrangements for REDD process management agreed and established: coordination unit with a General Coordinator and 3 supporting staff. Coordinator reports directly to Minister.

Progress to Date
Preliminary Agreement reached between UN-REDD and ANAM• Focal Agency: ANAM• UN-REDD document will be used as the basis to prepare a new version of
R-PP and this document will be the “official” Readiness Proposal. The revised R-PP will integrate the findings of the due diligence process.
• Elaborate a unified consultation plan and strategy. • Articulate a unified application of social and environmental standards. • Manage preparation phase through a single coordination/administration
unit in ANAM• A single Project Operational Manual (POM) will be prepared identifying
the various funding sources and specific operational steps.• Define a single monitoring and harmonized reporting system
Coordination with UN-REDD
• ANAM: Revise R-PP to reflect key issues addressed by the Bank and the TAP, stakeholder feedback and coordinate activities with UN-REDD.
• ANAM: Continue discussions with key stakeholders on issues relevant to REDD to ensure a process is in place to address them during preparation.
• ANAM: Finalize draft ToR for the SESA, and seek feedback and inputs from key stakeholders.
