REDD presents both risks and opportunities for forest conservation and poverty reduction in Tanzania. It has the opportunity to increase national, district, and local benefits from forests, and to diversify local incomes from natural resource management, but REDD also presents the risk of increased appropriation of community lands and conflicts over resource benefits in ways that could negatively impact local livelihoods and sustainable forest management.
In order to ensure that REDD in Tanzania develops in a way that delivers on opportunities while minimizing risks, a range of choices will need to be made by policy makers about how REDD is designed and implemented. These policy choices will make up a key part of the National REDD strategy which is expected to emerge following on from the National Framework for REDD, which was published in August, 2009
This second 'REDD issue brief' developed by the project 'Making REDD work for communities and forest conservation in Tanzania.' The first brief provided recommendations for the National REDD strategy. This second issue brief discusses some of the key design questions and options in relation to REDD in Tanzania. The aim is to improve knowledge amongst different stakeholders about these key design options, as the basis for further dialogue and discussion amongst policy makers and the public.
