Several countries in the Congo Basin are aware of the importance of forest potential and have embarked on the REDD+ process. Consequently, they are making institutional arrangements in sectors that are drivers of deforestation (e.g., agriculture, land tenure, land use, energy, forestry, governance) and are developing a national framework to harmonize and facilitate REDD+ implementation. But while the countries of the Congo Basin are all keen to reduce emissions related to deforestation, their levels of commitment differ. Indeed, while some are sidestepping the REDD+ process, others are considered “good students” of the process and are thus involved in all the initiatives (Sufo Kankeu 2019).
