SAFEGUARDS INFORMATION SYSTEM (SIS)
↓ Download SISKenya's Safeguards Information System (SIS) is a national framework designed to provide information on how social, environmental, and governance safeguards are addressed and respected throughout the implementation of REDD+ activities. Developed in accordance with the Cancun Safeguards under the UNFCCC, the SIS promotes transparency, accountability, and inclusive stakeholder participation while ensuring that REDD+ interventions contribute to biodiversity conservation, protect the rights and traditional knowledge of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs), strengthen good forest governance, and avoid adverse social and environmental impacts.

As part of the safeguards framework, Kenya has also established a Feedback and Grievance Redress Mechanism (FGRM) to provide stakeholders with a transparent and accessible mechanism for lodging and resolving grievances that may arise during REDD+ implementation. This mechanism helps ensure that concerns are addressed fairly and efficiently, thereby strengthening accountability and confidence in the REDD+ programme.
