坦桑尼亚目前正在开展一些与发展国家REDD+治理结构有关的倡议。除其他外，这些举措包括建立国家REDD+信托基金(NRTF)和国家碳监测中心的进程。本文分析了地方和国家两级正在进行的国家REDD+治理结构建立过程。这项研究的重点是REDD+治理进程、参与行为者、权力和权力斗争及其对REDD+治理进程潜在的政治合法性的影响。这项研究是通过深入审查文献和相关报告和文件，并与参与这一进程的行为者进行对话进行的。研究发现，在REDD+治理继续演变的同时，一些非经济行为者正在将自己转变为经济行为者和“权力掮客”，以便在这一过程中加强其在保护自身利益方面的地位。还指出，作为地方和国家两级不断发展的进程的一部分，正在出现战略性权力和权力斗争。这项研究的结论是，需要进行战略干预/决策，以促进进程的顺利进行，避免国家REDD+治理结构发展过程中新出现的权力斗争可能造成的僵局。关键词：坦桑尼亚，REDD+；治理结构；机构；行为者；权力斗争；合法性
Tanzania is currently undertaking a number of initiatives related to the development of national REDD+ governance structures. These initiatives, among others, include process to establish a national REDD+ Trust Fund (NRTF) and the National Carbon Monitoring Centre (NCMC). In this paper, the on-going national REDD+ governance structure establishment processes at both local and national levels are analysed. The study focused on REDD+ governance process, the participating actors, power and power struggle and its effects on the political legitimacy underlying the REDD+ governance process. The study was undertaken through intensive review of literature and relevant reports and documents, and dialogue with actors involved in the process. It was found that while REDD+ governance continues to evolve, some non-economic actors are transforming themselves into economic actors and ‘Power brokers’ in order to enhance their position in protecting their interests during the process. It was noted as well that strategic power and power struggles are emerging as part of the evolving processes at both local and national levels. The study concludes that strategic intervention/decision was required to facilitate smooth process and avoid the stalemate that can be caused by emerging power struggles in the national REDD+ governance structure development process. Key words : Tanzania, REDD+; governance structures; institutions; actors; power struggles; and legitimacy
