It finds that addressing the most important drivers of forest degradation and deforestation, in particular the country energy needs and landownership, is essential for success in reducing emissions regardless of the type of program implemented. It also finds that, through the national program, forest users have learned to maximize profit from the sustainable use of the forest; however, the program reports great variability in the success of forest conservation. REDD+ may complement the national program by adding funding and other resources to start projects at the local level while giving additional payments for the permanence of carbon stocks may help to improve the social outcomes of those villages practicing sustainable forest management. However, a careful characterization of the national projects is necessary to generalize how REDD+ can be effectively implemented so that additional economic and environmental benefits are generated over what the national program is already achieving. Addressing this issue is key for identifying the conditions under which REDD+ achieves environmental additionality in Tanzania.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABATEMENTAGRICULTURAL LANDAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL SECTORAGRICULTUREAIRALLOCATION OF LANDALTERNATIVE ENERGYANIMALANIMAL DIVERSITYBIODIVERSITYBIOMASSBUFFER ZONESBURNINGCARBONCARBON CHANGESCARBON CONTENTCARBON CREDITSCARBON EMISSIONSCARBON EMISSIONS FROM DEFORESTATIONCARBON MARKETCARBON SEQUESTRATIONCARBON STOCKSCARBON STORAGECASH CROPSCATCHMENTCATCHMENT AREASCHARCOAL MAKINGCHARCOAL PRODUCTIONCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATIONCOCO2COASTAL AREASCOASTAL ECOSYSTEMSCOMMERCIAL FARMINGCOMMERCIALIZATIONCOMMUNITY INVOLVEMENTCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCONSERVATION EFFORTCONSERVATION EFFORTSCONSERVATION INITIATIVESCONSERVATION PRACTICESCONSERVATION PROGRAMSCONSERVATION SOCIETYCONTROLLED FORESTSCONVERSION FROM FORESTDEFORESTATIONDETERMINANTSDRIVERS OF DEFORESTATIONECOLOGICAL ECONOMICSECOLOGYECONOMIC ACTIVITYECOSYSTEMECOSYSTEM SERVICESECOSYSTEMSEFFECTIVE USEELECTRICITYEMISSIONSENERGY SOURCESENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITSENVIRONMENTAL SERVICESFARMSFERTILIZERSFIELD WORKFINANCIAL RESOURCESFIRE MANAGEMENTFIREWOODFORESTFOREST ACTFOREST ACTIVITIESFOREST CHANGEFOREST CONSERVATIONFOREST CONSERVATION PROGRAMFOREST CONSERVATION PROGRAMSFOREST DEFORESTATIONFOREST DEGRADATIONFOREST EXPLOITATIONFOREST FIRESFOREST GOVERNANCEFOREST HARVESTINGFOREST INVENTORYFOREST LANDFOREST LANDSCAPESFOREST LOSSFOREST MANAGEMENTFOREST MANAGEMENT PLANFOREST MANAGEMENT PLANSFOREST MANAGEMENT REGULATIONSFOREST MONITORINGFOREST OFFICERFOREST OFFICERSFOREST POLICYFOREST PRODUCTSFOREST PROTECTIONFOREST QUALITYFOREST RESERVEFOREST RESOURCEFOREST RESOURCESFOREST STOCKFOREST USEFOREST USERSFOREST UTILIZATIONFORESTRYFORESTRY RESOURCESFORESTSGASHUMAN SETTLEMENTILLEGAL DEFORESTATIONILLEGAL HARVESTINGILLEGAL TIMBERISSUESLAND CONVERSIONLAND OWNERSHIPLAND PRODUCTIVITYLAND REFORMLAND RIGHTSLAND TENURELAND USELAND USERLAND USERSLAND-USELANDOWNERSHIPLIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GASLIVESTOCKMANGROVESMIGRATIONMOUNTAINSNATIONAL CONSERVATION PROGRAMNATIONAL FOREST RESOURCESNATIONAL FORESTRYNATURAL RESOURCESNATURAL RESOURCES POLICYOPPORTUNITY COSTSPATROLLINGPERVERSE INCENTIVESPLANTPOLICY MAKERSPOPULATION GROWTHPPPRICE CHANGESPRODUCERSPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC GOODRAINRATES OF DEFORESTATIONREDUCING EMISSIONSRIVER BASINSROADSSHIFTING CULTIVATIONSOCIALLY SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSPECIESSUBSISTENCE USESUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURESUSTAINABLE FORESTSUSTAINABLE FOREST MANAGEMENTSUSTAINABLE LANDSUSTAINABLE LAND USESUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENTSUSTAINABLE USETIMBERTIMBER EXTRACTIONTIMBER HARVESTINGTIMBER PRODUCTSTOURISMTRADEOFFSTRANSACTION COSTSTREETREESTROPICAL FORESTTROPICAL FOREST CONSERVATIONURBAN AREASURBAN DEVELOPMENTURBAN EXPANSIONURBAN MIGRATIONVILLAGE FORESTVILLAGESWATERSHEDWEATHERWEATHER STATIONSWILDLIFEWILDLIFE CONSERVATIONWILLINGNESS TO PAYWOODWOOD PRODUCTIONWOODLANDhttps://doi.org/10.1596/1813-9450-6815
