Emiti Nibwo Bulora – Tanzania

About the project
The Emiti Nibwo Bulora project enables small-scale farmers in the Kagera region of Tanzania to access carbon revenue streams through the adoption of sustainable agroforestry techniques.
After community-led project design, farmers benefit from capacity-building and enhanced skills in sustainable resource management. Through Plan Vivo certification, farmers are able to access carbon payments to enable them to cover costs at farm and household level. These payments for ecosystem services not only contribute to immediate biodiversity and ecosystem benefits, but also have knock-on effects regarding poverty reduction and capacity development.
I used that money [from the project] to buy a cow. Now I have 5 free-range cows, I get manure from them and also have a dairy cow at home. Honestly, life is going well. I am very grateful to Vi Agroforestry.
