Welcome to the Uganda REDD+ Registry, the official platform for tracking and managing REDD+ projects and emission reductions in Uganda. The simplified Registry suffices due the need to have REDD+related projects known under the REDD+Secretariat within the Forestry Sector Support Department. However, the mandate for the issuance and transfer of carbon credits lies with the Department of Climate Change.
The REDD+ Registry serves as a vital tool to ensure transparency, prevent double counting, and facilitate results-based payments for forest conservation efforts. Developed with support from the UN-REDD programme-through UNDP, this Registry provides stakeholders with access to project information, registration services, and a complement to Uganda's National Forest Monitoring System.
“REDD” stands for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation, Forest Degradation and the “+” stands for the role of Conservation, Sustainable Management of Forests, and Enhancement of Forest Carbon Stocks.”

What is a “REDD+ Registry System”?
A “REDD+ registry system” is a repository for information on REDD+ actions preserving knowledge of facts, events, documents, maps, the details of ownership and value, etc. in a verifiable format. As such it is a tool that can help capture, process, store and report on all the relevant data and information related to REDD+ projects and programs in a way that is verifiable and accessible to various categories of stakeholders or end-users for decision making purposes.
From a country perspective, a REDD+ Registry system can be a tool to facilitate the operation of a country’s REDD+ implementation framework (policies and rules and requirements) irrespective of where the ERs generated by REDD+ projects/programs are transacting within a market framework. Therefore, the implementation framework processes and procedures is a prerequisite to registry development and roll-out in the Country.
