In order to implement REDD+ for the benefit of forest populations, this article studies the potentialities of the management system of the Covimof community forest (Molombo, Okékat and Faékélé Village Community) located in the region of Central Cameroon, part of the Congo Basin. It relates the REDD+ implementation requirements as defined by the international format (reference scenario, non-additionality, leakage and non-permanence) and governance elements in terms of community forestry in order to identify management constraints for REDD+ implementation in a community forestry context. Based on the development of a socioeconomic, political and institutional framework capable of regulating the implementation of this mechanism, the barriers to REDD+ will be highlighted. Based on field surveys and interviews with stakeholders, the main problems of community forestry management have been elucidated. The results show that REDD+ will face a number of problems including benefit sharing, communication between stakeholders, and land tenure.
