**Responsibilities**:
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the leading global environmental authority that sets the global environmental agenda, promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development within the United Nations system and serves as an authoritative advocate for the global environment.

The UNEP Latin America and the Caribbean Office (LACO), located in Panama City, works closely with the 33 countries of the region and its activities are integrated into the Medium-Term Strategy and the Programme of Work approved by the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA).

In 2017, the Green Climate Fund (GCF) approved its REDD+ policy worth a $500 million funding envelope, accompanied by a detailed and comprehensive process for countries to request results-based payments (RBPs). In November 2019, and with the support of UNEP as Accredited Entities (AEs), Paraguay received USD 50 million from the Green Climate Fund (GCF) for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions between 2015 and 2017.

Legal land use change to turn forest into pasture or crops must also summit an EIA with a proper EMP. Land use change implies losses of forest areas with their corresponding increases in greenhouse gas emissions, GHG. It is of interest to the Paraguay+Verde project to obtain information about the change in legal land use and the measures that are proposed in the EIA and their level of compliance. The information obtained could also set the guidelines for developing legal and/or financial stimuli to reduce the loss of forested areas and GHG emissions.

The Project will hire a consultant to work in close collaboration with the DCGCARN to monitor changes in forest use. The Consultant will be supervised by the REDD+ Program Officer of the UNEP Office for Latin America and the Caribbean.and will work 40 hours per week full-time at the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development offices, MADES. The Consultant must coordinate daily work with the General Directorate for Environmental Quality Control and Natural Resources - DEVIA (DGCCARN) of MADES. The report will help the Project institute some incentives and determine possible demands for environmental services that imply the purchase of Environmental Services certificates in line with what the Project seeks.
