Abstract
This study is part of the project “Impacts on poverty and sustainable development of the REDD+ architecture: for equity options, growth and for the environment” (POVSUS-REDD). The POVSUS-REDD is aimed at increasing the understanding of how different options for REDD will affect the achievement of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, while benefiting sustainable development and poverty reduction. This thesis is assessing the processes of introducing REDD+ in a pilot in Kilosa district, Tanzania. In Tanzania the POVSUS-REDD project is hosted at Sokoine University of Agriculture through its.Faculty of Forestry and Nature Conservation. To study various options for REDD+ in Tanzania, SUA have been cooperated with many actors who implement REDD+ on the ground level, including TFCG/MJUMITA. This thesis studied a project titled “Making REDD work for people and forests in Tanzania” implemented by TFCG/MJUMITA in the Kilosa district of Morogoro region, Tanzania. The objectives of the thesis were; to identify processes that have been initiated in creating new institutions and organizations in the process of introducing and implementing REDD+ in Kilosa.To analyze how local communities evaluate the process involved in the introduction and implementation of REDD+ in Kilosa, including an evaluation of whether it was based on free, prior and informed consent. And to analyze how the implementing organizations - NGOs, public authorities, community organizations - evaluate the changes undertaken and the process involved during introduction of REDD+. The thesis employs two theoretical approaches; the theory of institutions and institutional change and theories about participation. The concept of legitimacy was used as well. Both quantitative and qualitative research methods were used during the data collection. The quantitative data was collected using surveyed questionnaire from the local people of the studied villages. The qualitative data was collected by using interviews with resources persons from; TFCG/MJUMITA, the villages’ chairpersons, the heads of the VNRCs and the local people. And focus group discussions were used with the local people and the members of the VNRCs.
