In order to identify the enabling conditions for achieving progress implementation of an effective, efficient equitable REDD+, this paper examines national policy settings comparative analysis across 13 countries with focus on both institutional context actual setting arena. The evaluation REDD+ revealed that Africa, Asia Latin America are showing some progress, but face backlashes realizing necessary transformational tackle deforestation degradation. A Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) undertaken part research project showed two configurations facilitating progress: (1) presence already initiated change; (2) scarcity resources combined absence any effective forestry framework policies. When these were analysed alongside arena conditions, finds powerful coalitions strong ownership leadership, performance-based funding, can work incentive goals.
