EACMF Workshop: 3 Fundamental Elements to set up a Smallholder ACM Carbon Project in East Africa

​Trees for the Future, an agroforestry and farmer-centric non-profit, has spent the last few years getting the Lake Victoria Watershed Carbon Project ready for verification and validation. With this knowledge and insight, key technicians from the project will host a lively workshop highlighting key elements that you need to think about as you get started on your own project.

​In addition to providing a brief background on the Lake Victoria Watershed Carbon Project, Trees technicians from Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda will host small group discussions around the following areas of interest:

• ​Ensuring FPIC for farmers and communities - Trees technicians will talk through the free, prior, informed consent process including community stakeholder engagement, farmer contracts and information sharing. 

• ​Project Polygons - Trees technicians will discuss the importance of ensuring alignment with standard validation methods for Polygons, allow attendees to practice capturing a polygon and detail the GIS system now in place.

• ​Baseline Basics - Trees technicians will talk through the questionnaires, measurements and data required, including soil, farmer surveys and field measurements.
