REDD+ Policy Approaches in the Congo Basin: A Comparative Analysis of Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)

Abstract: Abstract:The Congo Basin forests are a prime location for implementing REDD+. National REDD+ policy processes are ongoing and many REDD+ pilot initiatives are being demonstrated. However, the level of national engagement, progress and distribution of REDD+ activities varies considerably in the different Congo Basin countries. This study therefore uses a set of criteria to assess national and international policy initiatives and approaches for advancing REDD+ implementation in Cameroon and the Democratic Republ… Show more

“…Tenure complexities and lack of political will to implement significant tenure reforms has been one of the most widely reported challenge to REDD+ in Africa [94,[103][104][105] and elsewhere [106,107]. In the light of the political cost of tenure reform and the failure of REDD+ to incentivise real reform, there is a growing, if problematic, accommodation of intensified law enforcement, moratorium, and forest militarisation as "alternative policy options" for pursuing REDD+ [108].…”

“…Meanwhile, through the moratorium in the Cross River, REDD+ is reinforcing existing land and forest rights regimes that privilege state control [100,110,111]. Tenure complexities and lack of political will to implement significant tenure reforms has been one of the most widely reported challenge to REDD+ in Africa [86,[100][101][102] and elsewhere [88]. In the light of the political cost of tenure reform and the failure of REDD+ to incentivise real reform, there is a growing, if problematic, accommodation of intensified law enforcement, moratorium, and forest militarisation as "alternative policy options" for pursuing REDD+ [104].…”

“…This is because agroforestry is mostly practiced by women in rural areas which give them the possibility to make income and be independent. With the -food-fuel-biodiversity‖ palaver continuing to be a thorn in the flesh of many development stakeholders, agro-ecosystem based farming systems like agroforestry become a necessity (Mbow et al, 2012;Fobissie et al, 2014). Little wonder, Leakey (2010) calls for the uptake of multifunctional landuse systems (like agroforestry) which simultaneously meet fuel, food, environmental and biodiversity protection needs as well as resilience enhancement to climate change.…”
