Evidence snapshot for Guinea-Bissau
Guinea-Bissau has launched initiatives across forest conservation, political representation, and digital inclusion. A community-based REDD+ project across 181,200 hectares has issued 1.8 million verified carbon credits and channels 30% of revenue to communities, with independent evaluation confirming statistically significant reductions in forest loss, though no significant protective effect for mangroves specifically. However, a 2018 Parity Law mandating 36% women in elected office and appointments has failed to deliver: women's parliamentary representation declined from 13.7% in 2019 to 9.8% in 2023, reflecting the law's lack of enforcement mechanisms. Most recently, the country's first Orange Digital Center opened in Bissau in mid-2024 as part of a broader digital-inclusion network, though published evidence of trainee numbers or employment outcomes remains unavailable as of mid-2026.
