Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

22. The proposed Orinoquia Sustainable Integrated Landscape (OSIL) project is part of a broader program for the region, funded by the BioCarbon Fund Initiative for Sustainable Forest Landscapes (ISFL). The ‘ISFL program’ will be implemented in two phases: a Technical Assistance (TA) phase and an emission reduction (ER) phase via the establishment of a performance-based payments mechanism to achieve AFOLU GHG emission reductions at a regional level. The Theory of Change for the project follows an analysis of direct and indirect causes of emissions in Orinoquia, considering the critical factors that need to be addressed to reverse the situation. These factors are then clustered into components of the project. The logic is the following: AFOLU emissions in the Orinoquia27 should be divided into two groups: historic emissions and projected emissions. Both, historic and future emissions are due to land use change and land management practices. The main direct causes of historic emission include deforestation, forest degradation, unsustainable livestock practices, fertilizers, and fires; while projected emissions are due to future deforestation, conversion of natural habitat, transformation of agriculture cropping systems and agricultural management practices such as fertilizer use, enteric fermentation, rice cultivation, etc.

Contact Information
This section aims to support the local communities and local CSO to get to know which stakeholders are involved in a project with their roles and responsibilities. If available, there may be a complaint office for the respective bank which operates independently to receive and determine violations in policy and practice. Independent Accountability Mechanisms receive and respond to complaints. Most Independent Accountability Mechanisms offer two functions for addressing complaints: dispute resolution and compliance review.
