Central African Republic - Delivering a national methane emission and mitigation assessments for the waste sector [CF-22-004]

  • Opening Date: 6 December 2022

  • Closing Date: 31 January 2023

  • Estimated project cost: USD 80,000

  

Overview

This project responds to a request by the Central African Republic’s (CAR’s) Ministry in Charge of Environment and Sustainable Development to deliver a national methane emission and mitigation assessments for the waste sector. 
 

Expected project outcomes

Through the proposed outputs and activities, the project should achieve the following by its completion: 
 

  • CAR’s government has increased capacity to account for and address methane from the waste sector  

Minimum required outputs

The project should deliver at a minimum:   

  • Develop or update/revise a national methane inventory
  • Refine methodologies for the waste sector, which would include those used for
    • Data collection and preparation 
    • Calculation of GHG inventory  
  • Capacity building on waste sector inventory development to representatives of relevant government agencies, national institutions, and other stakeholders that support the inventory cycle. Training should include how to use associated open-access guidelines and tools (e.g., Excel spreadsheets) to support Tier 2 waste inventory reporting under the UNFCCC on CAR’s NDC implementation. 

  • Identification of methane mitigation measures for the waste sector based on the analysis of the inventory and state-of-the-art technologies and methods
  • Workshops in CAR with relevant stakeholders to build capacity on
    • Data collection and methane/GHG emission calculation for the waste sector in theory and practical examples, using existing tools of CCAC and UN organizations to improve the GHG inventory

    • Waste composition and quantity analysis method and implementation requirements applicable under local conditions

    • Applicable decentralized organic waste management options (e.g., compost, black soldier fly) and the related costs, and climate benefits

    • List of applicable (i.e., locally appropriate) projects on organic waste management with related techniques, costs, methane mitigation target, and finance demand to serve as a basis for further implementation and finance

Applicants are encouraged to propose additional outputs as needed to ensure the expected project outcomes are achieved.
