Part 3 - Line 4a
IN BRAZIL, EII'S WORK IS FOCUSED ON FIVE STATES IN THE AMAZON AND CERRADO REGIONS: ACRE, MARANHO, MATO GROSSO, PAR, AND TOCANTINS. IN EACH STATE, EII IS SUPPORTING THE GOVERNMENT AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT LOW-EMISSION DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES. EII'S WORK INCLUDES SUPPORT FOR STATE-WIDE CONSULTATIONS ON DEFORESTATION AND CARBON EMISSIONS, SUPPORT FOR INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND HELP TO GENERATE REVENUES FROM THE CARBON MARKET (ACRE, MATO GROSSO, TOCANTINS) AND SUSTAINABLE AQUACULTURE AND WILD FISHERIES MANAGEMENT (PAR). EII ALSO WORKS WITH THE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE (MAPA) AND ENVIRONMENT (MMA) AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL, AND WITH THE AMAZON REGION CONSORTIUM OF GOVERNORS AT THE REGIONAL LEVEL.
EII'S WORK IN INDONESIA IS VIA A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SUSTAINABLE DISTRICTS NETWORK-LTKL. WE ARE WORKING WITH LTKL TO SUPPORT TWO DISTRICTS IN THE PROVINCE OF SULAWESI, SIGI AND BONE BOLANGO, THAT ARE INTERESTED IN REDUCING CARBON EMISSIONS FROM DEFORESTATION AS THEY INCREASE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION.
EII'S WORK IN PERU IS FOCUSED ON THE REGIONAL GOVERNMENTS OF SAN MARTIN AND UCAYALI, ALTHOUGH EII ALSO PROVIDES SUPPORT TO THE GOVERNMENTS OF OTHER AMAZON JURISDICTIONS INCLUDING AMAZONAS, HUNUCO, LORETO, PIURA AND MADRE DE DIOS.

THIS APPROACH INCLUDES THE ESTABLISHMENT OF JURISDICTION-WIDE GOALS THAT ARE UNDERSTOOD AND SUPPORTED BY KEY SECTORS, A SYSTEM FOR MONITORING AND REPORTING ON PROGRESS TOWARDS THOSE GOALS, AND INCENTIVE SYSTEMS FOR DRIVING PROGRESS TOWARDS THESE GOALS.
