C4ES undertook a Pre-feasibility Assessment and developed a Project Identification Note for a REDD+ project in the Niger Delta. The project will focus on directing private sector investment to the restoration and conservation of mangroves and swamp forests to generate carbon credits. Restoration interventions will be complemented by alternative livelihood strategies to produce certified commodities that increase household income and/or food security. Lastly, the project will promote governance and additional donor investments in non-forest sectors to improve access to public services.
