DocumentThe Carbon Balance of the World Bank-financed Land Husbandry, Water Harvesting and Hillside Irrigation (LWH) Project of the Government of Rwanda: Application of the EX-Ante Carbon-balance tool (EX-ACT)
Applied Work. EASYPol Module 121
2012Also available in:
No results found.Agriculture can play an important role in climate change mitigation while contributing to increased food security and reductions in rural poverty. The Ex-Ante Carbon-balance Tool (EX-ACT) can estimate the mitigation potential of rural development projects generated from changes in farming systems and land use. The study presents and discusses the EX-ACT analysis performed on the World Bankfinanced Land Husbandry, Water Harvesting and Hillside Irrigation Project of the Government of Rwanda. Estim ates of the impact of project activities on greenhouse gas emissions and carbon sequestration demonstrate that the implementation of the LWH project will provide additional environmental benefits by helping to mitigate climate change. Thus it reflects possible synergies between mitigation and rural development goals through a watershed approach. -
ProjectCapacity Building to Increase the Quality and Quantity of Bees Products in Rwanda Furthering Income Generation and Job Creation - TCP/RWA/3802 2024

No results found.Over 70 percent of the population in Rwanda is involved in agriculture, with high reliance on small-scale subsistence agriculture that is rain-fed and lacks appropriate technologies. The agriculture sector employs the majority of Rwandan workers (68 percent), with women representing 79 percent of the total agricultural labour force. Although an integral part of the sector, women farmers do not benefit from equal access to farm inputs, agricultural extension services and finance. The production potential of women farmers thus remains untapped, limiting their ability to take full advantage of on- and off-farm or formal market access in the agriculture sector. Illiteracy among women is high (23.1 percent) compared to that of men (18.1 percent), which further constrains access to already limited opportunities in terms of resources, the creation and management of small businesses and participation in overall decision-making processes. The project aligns with the fourth generation of the National Strategy for Agriculture Transformation and specifically its first outcome priority area, which is technological upgrading and capacitated farmers and rural value chain actors who make informed decisions and profitably engage in off-farm activities where beekeeping plays a key role. -
DocumentIrrigation and Watershed Management Case Study in Madagascar: Ex-Act Software for Carbon-Balance Analysis of Investment Projects. Provisional version
Applied Work. EASYPol Module 112
2010Also available in:
No results found.This module presents a Case Study of a Carbon-Balance Appraisal for an investment programme. It is useful for people who wish to improve their skills on how to estimate the climate change mitigation potential of agricultural programmes/projects and how to integrate it into the economic analysis of projects. This case is part of a set of documents which intend to provide support project developers in the process of learning and applying the EX-Ante Carbon balance Tool (EX-ACT). More specifically, the EX-ACT application was tested on a FAO Programme in Madagascar and the results are demonstrated in this Case Study, which consists of a brief description of the project, guidelines for structuring project data and an appendix with project data.
