Activities summary
There are around twenty REDD activities ongoing in Cameroon at various stages of implementation and with varying objectives ranging from the conservation of biodiversity and poverty alleviation to the development of a national accounting process. The REDD Pilot Project - being developed under the COMIFAC group - is expected to develop tools to account for emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, facilitate regional and international exchange on learning experiences and identify opportunities for national incentive schemes and strengthen forest governance. Several of these initiatives (e.g. Pro-poor REDD Project, TRIDOM, Sangha Tri-national (TNS) Landscape project) are being implemented across multiple countries to explore trans-boundary conservation of the Congo Basin. REDD activities in Cameroon are being implemented by a variety of actors including international NGOs such as WWF and WCS, national NGOs including the Center for Environment and Development (CED) and government agencies.
