This in turn can consolidate our efforts to reduce deforestation and improve livelihoods. Strict protection and prohibitions alone would not be feasible in poor rural areas. The incentives come at the right time."

Adelaide Fátima Oliveira - Coordinator of the State Commission for Validation and Monitoring of SISA (CEVA) Benefit sharing and investments REM's results-based payments are invested ac- cording to a benefit-sharing scheme that was agre- ed upon between Acre's State government and the REM Programme and validated by the SISA's civil society body CEVA (State Committee for Validation and Monitoring). ithin the benefit-sharing mechanism, a large proportion of funds is designated to directly benefit actors at the local level: 70% of BMZ and 90% of BMUB funds. The remaining 30% (BMZ) and 10% (BMUB) are used for institutional strengthen-ing. The allocation takes into account additional consi- dera-tions, such as other funding sources and re- cent deforestation trends. In the State of Acre, Indigenous Peoples, rubber tappers and communities in protected areas tradi- tionally play a key role in protecting forest carbon stocks. Groups that actively reduce deforestation along the agrarian frontier include farmers and cattle ranchers. Hence, REM's approach to benefit- -sharing seeks to balance incentives between: . Protecting and conserving standing forests and carbon stocks, while not necessarily under immediate threat. This approach is referred to as "stock" and rewards forest protectors; Addressing drivers of deforestation and redu- cing deforestation and the flow of emissions even further. This approach is referred to as "flow" and provides incentives to actors along the agrarian frontier that strive to reduce defo- restation. The SISA provides the programmatic framework for the distri-bution of funds across different pro- grammes, initiatives and institutions. Instead of channelling incentives and attributing contribu- tions of the individual land owner or territorial unit, incentives are disbursed through sub-programmes that target different beneficiary groups. Most of the supported measures were already in place before the creation of SISA. REM funds catalyze and speed up their implementation and help to in-crease the scale and impact of the sub-programmes. "The REM money really makes it all the way to communities in the furthest corners of Acre, deep into the forest. This has a direct impact on the incomes of rubber tappers, on their sustainable production and on avoiding deforestation". José Rodrigues de Araújo Coordinator of National Rubber Tapper Council (CNS), Acre SHA Weede
