Implementing smallholder carbon projects: building local institutional capacity through participatory action research
Two smallholder agricultural carbon projects in East Africa engaged in a participatory action research process to identify ways local actors could take on larger management roles within the projects. Key lessons from this process were: * Community-based intermediaries can play a leading ro...

| description | Two smallholder agricultural carbon projects in East Africa engaged in a participatory action research process to identify ways local actors could take on larger management roles within the projects. Key lessons from this process were:
* Community-based intermediaries can play a leading role in land- management trainings and supportive roles in carbon measurement and marketing.
* Local government participation is critical to project success.
* Local NGOs and private-sector actors can play central roles in training, providing agricultural inputs and linking farmers to markets.
* Standardized training and curricula are important for scaling up.
* Women’s roles in projects can grow if project benefits are aligned with their needs and trainings are made more accessible.
* Agricultural benefits are more important than carbon payments for participating farmers.
* Strengthened local and national policies in support of sustainable agricultural land management are needed to scale up project benefits. |
