A Comparative Overview of REDD+ Policy and Governance Approaches Across the Africa Region Johanna Wehkamp, Mercator Fellowship on International Affairs ( study conducted with Carole Megevand, Erik Winter Reed and Rajesh Koirala)
1. Governance issues are a central driver of deforestation for African countries Relative frequency of different drivers of deforestation (as mentioned in the R-PPs)
2. African countries have different priorities in their REDD+ strategies
Mapping African countries approaches to carbon ownership and benefit sharing Carbon Ownership State Ownership Individual /Community Ownership Both approaches are considered Issue has not been explored yet Burkina Faso Cameroon Ghana Liberia Kenya Madagascar Mozambique Uganda Central African Republic Republic of the Congo DR Congo Ethiopia Tanzania Benefit Sharing National benefit sharing mechanism Burkina Faso CAR (1) Ghana National redistribution fund DRC Madagascar Local BS managed by a decentralized state authority Republic of the Congo Local or project level benefit sharing with a share to the state Cameroon CAR (2) Liberia Not yet clarified Ethiopia, Kenya Mozambique Tanzania Uganda
Concluding Observations Governance weakness is a central driver of deforestation, but at the same time the political discussions and institutional tool-set are not developed enough in order to provide solutions to this central driver of deforestation. For many countries a certain degree of perplexity could be observed with regards to defining the different elements of the implementation framework in a precise manner (Kenya: The international REDD+ mechanism expected to be finalized in the coming months [will likely clarify the modalities by which Kenya will be able to access funding for REDD+ strategies it may select. )
