The e-Learning modules will build on: (i) a comprehensive Training Manual on “Estimating the Opportunity Costs of REDD+” developed by WBI/FCPF in 2009/2010 based on hands-on experience of the Partnership for the Tropical Forest margins (ASB/ICRAF); (ii) three regional train-of-trainers workshops on this topic in Tanzania, Thailand and Colombia; (iii) a lessons learnt document of the global partnership of FCPF after 2.5 years of full operation, prompting 18 tropical forest countries to submit REDD+ Readiness Preparation Proposals for consideration of its governing body, the Participants Committee.

The modules will embrace topics of Readiness Preparation Proposals (RPPs), land use and land use change, carbon measurement of land use systems, profit analysis of land use systems, opportunity cost analysis and opportunity cost maps, co-benefits of water and biodiversity, transaction costs, implementation costs, integration of total costs into national programs.
