Established in December 2020 as a standalone multidonor trust fund, Enhancing Access to Benefits while Lowering Emissions (EnABLE) is a global knowledge, operations, and technical assistance program that provides direct financing to Indigenous Peoples (IPs), local communities (LCs), and other vulnerable groups through their local civil society organizations (CSOs) with the intention of facilitating their participation in results-based climate finance (RBCF) initiatives to amplify their access and benefits. More specifically, EnABLE focuses on the emission reductions program (ERP) jurisdictions of the 15 Carbon Fund countries of the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF), with ambitions to extend this support to five ERPs under the BioCarbon Fund's Initiative for Sustainable Forest Landscapes (ISFL) and to be associated with the World Bank's Scaling Climate Action by Lowering Emissions (SCALE) umbrella trust. Importantly, EnABLE also addresses gender considerations affecting all of these groups because women and girls commonly face additional barriers to inclusion, especially in male-dominated societies. In this context, EnABLE was established for the purpose of promoting social inclusion in the design and implementation of ERPs and related benefit sharing plans (BSPs) by directly promoting and supporting strategies that mitigate its constituencies' risks, enhance their meaningful engagement, and amplify their benefits.
