This publication presents a summary of a review of the design and performance of selected payments for environmental services and other incentive-based initiatives in four major tropical forest regions – the Amazon Basin, the Congo Basin, the Miombo woodlands of eastern and southern Africa, and Southeast Asia. This report focuses on a number of critical issues in the design and implementation of national and subnational REDD activities, with a focus on the role of performance-based incentive mechanisms and key enabling conditions for their effective implementation.
