2. Local Context
• The project is piloted on registered farmer
3000 associations/groups covering an
area of 45,000 with about 60,000 farms
• The farmers are small-scale subsistence
with average size of 1 ha
• The Expected Ers are 1.2 m t CO2eq over
20 years
• 70 % of implementers are women yet only
10 % own land and have full control
3. Describing Carbon Sequestration
• Adoption of Sustainable Agricultural Land Management
technologies by farmers will influence increased carbon
sequestration and trigger soil fertility for increased food
productivity.
• Adaptation to climate change
• Enhanced soil carbon stock conserve soil and reduce chances of soil
being depleted
• The language used is both traditional and scientific
• The tools used to communicate the meaning of carbon
sequestration include discussions, posters, drawings, use of films
and expert explanation
• There has been a communication challenge on revenue distribution
• Use of group leaders and community resource persons explanation
support farmer understanding.
4. Financial and Non-Financial Benefits &
Costs
• Farmers have potential for production alerting them on soil
degradation dynamics and adoption of SALM is a solution
makes them to invest in the best farm enterprises.
• The primary financial benefits include food sales for income
the language used is both present and future as the
practices take time to improve soil
• Farmers contracts communicate show the payments
installments and timeframe
• communication tool(s) on benefits include field
visits, drawings, and farmers testimony and results
• Farmers always expect the organization to provide all
inputs to the project but Farmer Enterprise Development
and Village Savings and Loaning has enabled farmers to
understand the worthiness of investment in project
activities
5. Monitoring, Reporting, and
Verification (MRV)
• Monitoring is based on Activity modeling for
project and group participatory monitoring for
individual farmer progress
• Manuals, forms and drawings are tools for
communication and to explain MRV of carbon
sequestration
• Most of the communication strategies is
scientific still
• The use of community resource person
6. Legal Issues
• Contracts were designed with farmer representatives
and meetings of discussions made the farmers
understood the contract
• [Insert one bullet points on how you have explained
conflicts will be legally resolved and the language used]
• Use of discussions [Comment on the communication
tool(s) you have found most useful to explain the legal
issues of carbon sequestration (e.g.
newsletters, drawings, or films etc)]
• The payment benefits in the contract was solved with
farmers focusing on co-benefits, food security and
climate resilience
