Effects of decentralised forest management (DFM) on deforestation and poverty in low- and middle-income countries: a systematic review
International Initiative for Impact Evaluation, 2015While the primary goal of reducing deforestation is clear, the policy and academic literature debates the extent to which decentralized forest management (DFM) programs in developing countries should incorporate goals of poverty reduction.DocumentManagement Regimes established for REDD+ and their Adaptability to the Institutional and Ecological Conditions: A case of Ongo Community Forest, Masindi District, Uganda
Noragric, Department of International Environment and Development Studies, Norwegian University of Life Sciences, 2015This report is one of the outputs of theproject “Man and forests – an evaluation of management strategies for reduced deforestation” which aimed at evaluating the different management strategies undertaken to obtain reduced deforestation in tropical forests and hence maintainDocumentSpatial distribution of temporal dynamics in anthropogenic fires in miombo savanna woodlands of Tanzania
2015Background: Anthropogenic uses of fire play a key role in regulating fire regimes in African savannas. These fires contribute the highest proportion of the globally burned area, substantial biomass burning emissions and threaten maintenance and enhancement of carbon stocks.DocumentAfrica Capacity Indicators 2013: Capacity Development For Natural Resource Management
African Capacity Building Foundation, 2013This report focuses on natural resource management in Africa and links this discussion with state fragility, agricultural transformation and food security.DocumentProtocol: effects of payment for environmental services and decentralized forest management on deforestation and poverty in low- and middle-income countries: a systematic review
The Campbell Collaboration, 2014Natural forest preservation in the tropics, and thus in developing countries, must be an element of any effective effort to manage climate change. Forests serve as natural carbon sinks, which help to mitigate the effect of other carbon emissions. However, forest cover is being reduced and it is estimated that deforestation is responsible for 10-17 per cent of global carbon emissions.DocumentEffects of decentralized forest management (DFM) on deforestation and poverty in low and middle income countries: a systematic review

Stockholm Environment Institute, 2014The deforestation slowdown in the Amazon is one of the most important environmental success stories of recent decades, with an 83% decrease in the annual rate of deforestation from 2004 to 2012. This accomplishment has enabled Brazil to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by more than a third, while also preserving biodiversity and maintaining other vital ecosystem services.DocumentThinking outside the box: a case for promoting the charcoal industry in Tanzania
UONGOZI Institute / Institute of African Leadership for Sustainable Development, 2013Charcoal is Tanzania’s most important domestic energy source and this is not likely to change in the foreseeable future. Demand for charcoal is rising as Tanzania’s population grows and becomes increasingly urban.DocumentInstituting REDD+: An analysis of the processes and outcomes of two pilot projects in Brazil and Tanzania
International Institute for Environment and Development, 2013REDD readiness is about developing national strategies for REDD+ including the necessary systems to ensure reduced DD, encompassing systems for monitoring/carbon accounting and distribution of international compensations. Establishing REDD+ is a process of change not least regarding actions on the ground.DocumentThe Ongo Community Forest REDD+ pilot Project, Uganda: A socioeconomic baseline survey
Environmental Economics Programme, IIED, 2012This report aims to synthesise information on current socioeconomic conditions within the villages that are to be involved in the Ecotrust Pro-Poor REDD+ pilot project in the Masindi district of western Uganda.Pages
