Nigeria - Development of Tier 2 Emission Inventory and Mitigation Assessment for the agriculture sector

This project will achieve by it's completion: 

• The government increases its capacity for GHG inventory compilation 
• The government adopts the evaluation of mitigation options in the agriculture sector and integrates the recommendations in its NDC implementation plan 

The project will deliver at a minimum:  

• GHG and short-lived climate pollutant (SLCP) emissions estimates from the agriculture sector, including methane and black carbon from the livestock (enteric methane & manure), paddy rice and open agricultural burning, for an appropriate time series  
• GHG and SLCP emissions projections into the future for a baseline scenario for the agriculture sector 
• GHG inventory compilation training, including guidance and tools on using IPCC Tier 2 methods, and action planning to strengthen institutional and individual technical capacities of representatives from the Federal Ministry of Environment and Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and other national institutions to apply tools to assess agricultural GHG and SLCP emissions and update over time 
• An evaluation of mitigation options in the agriculture sector to quantify their GHG emission reduction potential to provide recommendations as to the specific policies and measures that can achieve Nigeria’s NDC commitments.
