The indicators define quantitative or qualitative information needed to show progress achieving a criterion (REDD+ SES, 2012). The standards at principle and criteria levels are to be applied across all countries while indicators are to be tailored for country and/or local-specific circumstances. The REDD+ SES has also prepared a generic “framework for indicators” to guide the development of country-specific indicators. See Annex C for a summary of REDD+ SES and SEPC of the UN REDD Programme.
