This case study looks at some early experiences and
lessons from a benefit sharing regime in a Collaborative
Forest management (CFM) project in Uganda under the
Nile Basin Reforestation Project. It is implemented by
Uganda’s National Forestry Authority (NFA) in partnership
with a local Community Based Organization (RECPA).
The reforestation project consists of five small-scale
Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects being
implemented in the Rwoho Forest Reserve in South
Western Uganda.
The case study outlines the benefit sharing arrangements under the project as well as highlighting lessons for the design of REDD+ benefit sharing mechanisms.
