Central Africa has borrowed less from the World Bank for forestry projects than expected. It has made little use of concessional finance for sustainable forest management. Only the DRC has accessed multiple sources of forest finance, including development policy loans, investment loans, GEF grants, carbon funds, and CIF/FIP funds. The Forest Carbon Partnership Facility needs to clarify its mission and roles as carbon markets evolve. The World Bank should discuss its overall REDD+ approach and how countries' REDD+ strategies will be supported after current facilities close.
