Central African Republic - Deliver methane emission and mitigation assessments for the livestock sector

The project aims to achieve the following by its completion: 

• The government endorses the mitigation assessment for the livestock sector 
• The government has increased capacity in greenhouse gas emissions inventory development for the livestock sector 

The main project deliverables are: 

• Defined data inputs, including a matrix of animal categories (farming systems per animal groups/ production systems) for the collection of data (on animal numbers and technical parameters) and computation of Tier 2 emissions    
• A report on the data gaps and propose data acquisition protocols   
• A climate change mitigation assessment for the livestock sector to identify the most effective methods to reduce methane and the co-benefits for health, and air pollution 
• Training on developing the Tier 2 greenhouse gas inventory and applying IPCC Tier 2 methods and associated guidelines and tools 
• A report on the climate change indicators, data collection and processing procedures, and recommendations on the organizations from which indicator data can be obtained for the agriculture sector
