Market incentives for climate action:

Market incentives for climate action: EBAFOSA has worked with national standards bodies to develop a climate action market incentive guide on the cascade of standards agro-enterprises in the country need to comply with to ensure they tap into health, environment, climate & quality conscious consumers who are increasing.

This is providing pull factor for use of nature based, EBA approaches & clean energy to produce & process food and hence driving NDCs considering both CSA & clean energy are shared priorities in about 70% of NDCs in Africa.

a) In Uganda, EBAFOSA has worked with the Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS) to start implementation of this climate action market incentive guide which is now being used to validate produce in the cassava value chain for a start.

b) In Nigeria, EBAFOSA has worked with the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) to start implementation of this guide which is now being used to validate produce in the tomato value chain for a start.
