MFE 304: SETTING UP REDD+ AND NATURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PROJECTS The aim of this training is to enable participants to train or strengthen their technical and financial capacities in the process of setting up projects for REDD++, natural resource management projects or other types of projects, in order to allow them to more easily access increasingly limited funding. This training is structured around the following points:

· Analysis phase ✓ Preparatory analysis ✓ Stakeholder analysis ✓ Analysis of the problem and strategies

· Planning phase ✓ The Logical Framework ✓ Indicators and sources of verification ✓ Indicators and sources of verification The necessary resources ✓ Preparation of a calendar of activities ✓ Drafting of the project (elements to consider in order to have a high impact project)

· Submission and project phase, in order to allow them to more easily access increasingly limited funding. Search for project funding ✓ Establishment of a mechanism for monitoring available funding ✓ Knowledge of the donor's requirements ✓ Establishment of the submission calendar

· Monitoring and evaluation phase Financial package of the project ✓ Knowledge of the partners and their requirements ✓ Analysis of project inputs ✓ Preparation of the provisional budget (expenses and revenues) ✓ Establishment of a monitoring and evaluation system ✓ Drafting of the financial package Date: 14 to 16 June 2022 Date: 14 to 16 June 2022 (online: 12 — 16 June 2022 (online: 12 — 18 p.m. UT) Participation fee: $250 USD Registration deadline : June 05, 2022 We invite you to use the link below to register: https://ifed-inc.ca/2020/02/10/mfe-304-project-set-up-and-financing/ MFE307: CLIMATE FINANCE - GREEN FINANCE The objective of this training is to strengthen the capacities of participants on climate finance or green (environmental) finance so that they can rely on to facilitate the mobilization of the financing necessary for the development and implementation of carbon neutrality projects. This training is structured around the following points:

A training certificate will be issued to participants. The course notes and possibly the course videos will be made available to participants who, for various reasons, will not be able to participate in certain training sessions. Finally, an environmental certificate will be awarded to municipalities and private or public institutions that will send 5 people or more to this training which will allow them to adopt profound changes in the management of their living environment.
