The Alliance

Our Focus

The Alliance is focused on bringing member states together with a common goal of delivering an understanding of carbon markets and climate financing.

Our Approach

The overall objectives of the Eastern Africa Alliance on Carbon Markets and Climate Finance are to promote the long-term position and participation of Eastern Africa countries in international carbon markets and increase the region’s capacities to access climate finance for NDC implementation. In order to achieve these objectives member countries have identified Alliance National Focal Points which are responsible for raising country needs and coordinating Alliance activities within their national context.

our Mission

The Eastern Africa Alliance on Carbon Markets and Climate Finance aims to strengthen capacities of the member countries as well as offer a platform where countries can share experiences and foster a regional approach towards the future international carbon mechanism of Article 6 (PA) and climate finance.

Dr. Anne Nyatichi Omambia highlighted that “the Alliance is valuable since it can strengthen peer to peer learning on various aspects of climate change in Eastern Africa, such as on carbon markets, UNFCCC negotiations, cross cutting matters with other multilateral environmental agreements, inter alia. In her view the Alliance can further “serve as a platform for resource mobilization and joint action to implement individual Nationally Determined Contributions and other shared actions.
