Tanzania hosts over 33 million hectares of forests with diverse landscapes and rich biodiversity. These forests are under threat from subsistence agriculture, increasing energy needs, timber extraction and overgrazing, among others.

REDDX in-country partner, Erneus Kaijage in collaboration with the Vice President’s Office of Tanzania examine the US$93.5 million in REDD+ commitments recorded between 2009 and 2012. This report also highlights emerging challenges in implementing REDD+ long term in countries like Tanzania who have not seen any new financial commitments for REDD+ since 2010.
