The Eastern Africa Alliance on Carbon Markets and Climate Finance, together with Climate Focus under the VCMI Access Strategy Programme, has launched a practical manual to guide developers in designing and implementing high-integrity nature-based carbon projects.
The manual offers:
- Step-by-step guidance on project design and implementation
- Methodological considerations, including baselines, additionality, permanence, leakage, and monitoring
- Insights on cost and timeline planning
- Legal and regulatory requirements specific to the region
- Strategies for commercialization and benefit-sharing
This manual is a hands-on tool for project developers aiming to deliver measurable climate action while ensuring strong community and environmental benefits.
