Improving Shared Management
Considering the notes raised during the verification audit of the REDD+ Jari Amapá project, the project proponents felt the need to analyze the applicability of tools in order to better jointly manage the actions developed by the projects, effectively monitoring all the points required by the certifications, and the indicators and activities planned in the PDs. As well as to improve the communication of the project stakeholders, other sectors of the Jari Group and third parties, involved directly and indirectly in the project.

Structuring the Vale do Jari REDD+ Program
Putting into practice the structuring of better management methods, the proponents started mapping the activities and indicators of REDD+ projects related to the activities, procedures and planning of the Jari Foundation and other sectors. This material was built jointly, in order to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the participation of the parties in the project, and thus understand what improvements are needed.

The management and monitoring of this program is at an early stage, while the Jari Foundation team prepared its 2022 planning based on the project activities and indicators, and the Biofílica team has been working on the implementation of tools to improve the shared management and monitoring of REDD+ projects, aligned with recognized project management methodologies.
