SNV believes that the success of any REDD+ scheme will ultimately depend on how effectively it is designed and introduced. Our experience has shown that lasting solutions for the protection and sustainable management of forests can only be generated if there is the will and ability of the state to make changes and if forest dependent communities have real and reliable incentives to manage forests. SNV has identified six areas for intervention necessary to make REDD+ work, while supporting the poor and enhancing biodiversity.
