Deliverable to the CTCN Technical Assistance on Scaling up sustainable wood fuel (charcoal and firewood) systems in the Pwani, Lindi and Mtwara regions of Tanzania.

The methods described in this publication may be quite diverse, but they are drawn together by one common thread—a strong commitment towards genderresponsive participatory research that involves the participation and represents the different needs of the end users. Each of the methods showcased in the guide recognizes that smallholder farmers play key roles in food production,

The Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) organized a three-day capacity development workshop on technologies for soil carbon enhancement in African Countries, in partnership with the International Centre for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF), a CTCN consortium partner. The workshop presented a collection of pertinent technologies and practices intended at enhancing soil carbon and having strong potential for low emission development and climate resilience in several African countries.

Context

The Kenyan economy is dependent on the performance of the Agricultural sector which directly contributes about 25% of the country’s GDP and about 27% indirectly through linkages to agro-based industries and the service sector.

Based on Kenya’s National Adaptation Plan (NAP) 2015 -2030, out of 47 counties, 23 are vulnerable to drought, 22 counties to landslides, and 35 counties to flooding. Simulation of future climate change scenarios based on various models indicate a mean annual temperature increase of 1.5 to 3.0°C by 2050.
