Projects and initiatives to build Article 6 capacities that involve Senegal.

Projects & Initiatives
From 2021 — ongoing
Article 6 Readiness Support
Implemented in:

Benin Ghana Burkina Faso Cabo Verde Gambia Guinea-Bissau Liberia Mali Niger Sierra Leone Nigeria Senegal Togo Guinea Côte d’Ivoire Mauritania

In April 2021, the Alliance concluded a scooping study aimed at assessing the capacity and institutional needs of member countries in relation to Article 6 implementation readiness. In close collaboration with technical partners (Climate Focus, Perspectives and AEE), the Alliance secretariat, hosted by ENDA undertook a series of in-depth dialogues and questionnaire administration with country focal points to elicit responses on readiness capacity needs and potential next steps. Information gathered from the thirteen (13) Alliance member countries reveals that broader and enhanced support is needed in supporting countries to jump-start the implementation of Article 6.2. The result of the study showed differences in the states of Article 6 preparedness.

Funded by:

New Zealand Norway Sweden

The Carbon Transaction Facility (CTF) is GGGI’s solution to the challenges that face countries seeking to participate in cooperative approaches under Article 6, and to scaling up international carbon trading. The CTF, launched in October 2024, aims to accelerate global GHG emission reductions by catalyzing carbon trading under Article 6. The CTF structure has two main pillars: the Article 6 Readiness Facility on one side, and a number of multiple ITMO-purchasing carbon funds on the other. The Article 6 Readiness Facility is a multi-donor fund improving host country readiness through technical assistance and capacity building. The Carbon Funds, on the other hand, are a series of individual funds for initiating Article 6 carbon transactions and purchasing Article 6 carbon credits (ITMOs).
