    (University of Dar es Salaam, 2015) Rweyendera, Procecius
    Deforestation in Tanzania is actually caused by a variety of activities such as a selective logging; unsustainable rates of extraction of timber and non-timber products by local communities, mainly for their own use and commercial purposes. In recognising the existence of such drivers, the government of Tanzania realised the danger facing our resources and endangered species by taking appropriate measures ranging from policy, legal framework and institutional arrangement. Tanzania also adopted sector policies related with forest; mineral, land, wildlife; fisheries; agriculture and livestock which put priority on conservation and management of natural resources, therefore supporting an implementation of REDD+. However the implementation of REDD+ cannot be achieved at required standards because those policies addresses the issues of population, agricultural, wood fuel and settlement dynamics are not place in integrative manner. Therefore, this study has two parts in which the first one aimed at analyzing the National Policies used for Regulation of Population, Agricultural, Wood fuel and Settlement dynamics as a means to achieve REDD+ in Tanzania. The analysis is based on SWOT analysis framework towards to National Policies and Policy tools on implementing the REDD+ programmes. The second part of that study was to assess the implementation of policies and policy tools for regulation of population, agricultural, wood fuel and settlement dynamics by a Community Forest Reserve at Mgori Forest Reserve. At the studied area the information was achieved by using FGD, direct observation and household questionnaire in which the data were interpreted by SPSS statistics version 20 in order to obtain the research outputs.
