ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses how control over countries forests is being given to outside actors and why that is detrimental, what role privatization and aid are playing in that loss of control, and how economies are linked between countries that are considered to be developed and less developed. While non-state market-driven governance refers to the private sector, in the case of REDD it would be outside and non-state market-driven governance, meaning that both other countries and the private sector are driving the governance of a country's resources. The ways in which REDD is funded are problematic like bilateral and multilateral aid and carbon market, which mostly deals with the ongoing security of carbon credits once REDD projects have been developed. For REDD countries, transparency from the international organizations that provide them with money is important because they know what they can expect, how other REDD countries are doing, and how they fit into the overall scheme.
