SWE-2012-083: Conservation for Carbon or Communities? Swedish climate and community forestry initiatives in Uganda and Tanzania.

Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) allows rich countries to buy carbon dioxide emission rights for achieving emission reductions in poor countries that receive help to develop sustainably. Sweden is engaged in around 40 CDM projects; some aim to conserve forest in African countries. Research on past conservation projects in Africa shows that degradation often has been assumed and connected to local practices without empirical proof, with negative outcomes for local people.We study a CDM project in Uganda and a Community Based Forest Management (CBFM) project in Tanzania, both with engagement from Sweden. The projects have similar aims, but pilot studies suggest that differing underlying assumptions about causes of degradation and rationale of local livelihoods lead to different outcomes. Project ideas and their local effects are studied through discourse- and livelihoods analysis.
