The analysis will also include an estimation of implementation and transaction costs. The areas of Panama to be included in this analysis tentatively comprise of Darien, Costa Abajo de Colon and Bocas del Toro.

Project outputs are as follows:
1. A detailed report including analysis results of historical deforestation and driver identification, future land use change via scenario analysis, carbon in land uses, carbon credit process, opportunity cost of a REDD program and flow of REDD program funds.
2. A full compilation of primary and secondary data used in the analysis
3. A full description of the protocol used in the analysis for independent replication by third parties
