Forest governance, REDD+ and sustainable development in Kenya

NAKURU, KENYA: A series of in-depth studies have been carried out in Kenya to inform formulation of the REDD+ strategy and implementation framework.

REDD+ seeks to provide compensation to governments, communities, companies or individuals in developing tropical countries for actions taken to reduce GHG emissions from the forest sector. Its implementation involves the design and application of appropriate land and forest management practices, including enhanced forest sector governance, to support sustainable management of forest resources.
