The Programme made a start with redrafting the existing National Guidelines on Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC). This document will now be presented to the public for final comments (in 2014). The Programme also advanced in REDD+ Awareness and Training. A training document was further developed and training of trainers took place at regional and local levels. The Programme also recruited 2 National Experts for the study on Social and Environmental Safeguards, employed by the National Research Institute (NRI). Through a direct contract between OCCD and NRI old and loose ties between these organisations are rekindled and strengthened.
