Lessons and Implications for REDD+ Implementation Experiences from Tanzania, chapter 13, pg. 111-335
Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]This chapter discusses national governance structures for REDD+ in Tanzania. It also documents experiences from REDD+ pilot projects and discusses what findings from these imply for the national REDD+ strategy. The present strategy is advocating a national/fund whereas NGOs favour a market solution. Our research shows that establishing REDD+ will demand substantial developments in local land/forest governance structures including clarifying property rights and developing management plans. Capacities and competences at district, but also at national levels are weak. There are also important challenges related to ensuring participation and handling of conflicts that REDD+ implies. In this regard, a ‘fund’-based model seems favourable to ensure democratic accountability as well as national capacity building and avoidance of leakage. However, Tanzania’s public administration faces serious problems regarding transparency and managing of decentralisation. Thus, involving NGOs in the REDD+ Fund will help enhance openness. Moreover, learning from their experiences with engaging local communities in REDD+ is also helpful in making decentralisation effective.
