Community forestry was introduced in Cameroon roughly 20 years ago. Yet, the vast majority of community forest enterprises are still at infancy, despite tremendous support received so far. One major reason for the rather disappointing state of enterprises is the paucity in financing opportunities. Accountability and responsibility for delivery of results in past financing schemes have also been weak. Performance-Based Financing (PBF) approach known for its application in health care finance in development circles could contribute to improving the financing landscape of community forestry. This technical brief explores how the Dryad project, a five-year DFID financed initiative built around performance-based financing can contribute to enhancing enterprise and financing landscape in and around community forests in Cameroon and elsewhere.
