2022, GeoforumCitation Excerpt :Their national strategy for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD + ) aims to embed rule-making power in regional multi-stakeholder governing boards, including local government and community leaders, and to use the pre-existing CREMA (Community Resource Management Area) mechanism to implement local CSC interventions (GCFRP, 2013). Inspired by Elinor Ostrom’s work on the effectiveness of collective governance by “users themselves” (Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, 2009) who she theorised hold the strongest incentive to get the solution right (Mansbridge, 2014; Ostrom, 1990), Ghana’s CREMA mechanism aims to devolve a degree of authority to communities to manage natural resources (Agrawal, 2005; 1999). Yet similarly to certification and the C&FI, over-arching Ghana’s REDD + strategy is an externally defined disciplinary environmentality that aims to harness local participation to meet the global goal of reduced forest carbon emissions.
