Consultation and Participation Reflect arrangements for SESA coordination in Readiness Management Arrangements; solicit views on social and env. issues related to the drivers of deforestation and degradation during early dialogue with key stakeholders Begin assessment of benefits, risks and likely impacts associated with proposed REDD+ strategy options; capacity gaps. Use findings to inform strategy development as well as policies/ regulations. Prepare ESMF ToRs and begin preparation of ESMF once the final REDD+ strategy starts to become known Submit ESMF or advanced draft of ESMF + SESA Summary (Annex D of R-PP template guidance) SESA/ESMF Steps
