​​Functional and Operational Enhancement of the 'No Deforestation' Platform for the Identification of Agricultural Areas and Land Use Dispute Resolution in Mexico​

The UK Government's Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions (UK PACT) programme is inviting quotations from qualified suppliers or consortia to establish and manage a responsive technical assistance facility in Mexico.

The primary objective of this initiative is to expand the agricultural scope of the "No Deforestation" platform by integrating and rigorously validating georeferenced data from producer registries. In parallel, the project will design and implement a comprehensive dispute resolution mechanism to address user concerns and enhance the credibility of the platform's outputs.

Key technical challenges to be addressed include:

• Differentiating land uses such as agroforestry crops
• Capturing increases in shrub and tree cover from revegetation or reforestation on cultivated or grazed lands
• Ensuring interoperability with other AGRICULTURA applications and institutional systems

The project aims to improve land use traceability and establish a formal dispute resolution mechanism, both of which will contribute to reducing deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions in the Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector. These outcomes will be underpinned by transparent, data-driven governance frameworks that support evidence-based decision-making.
