The objective of the NAMA is to improve the efficiency and the effectiveness of the charcoal value chain and enable the country to remove a major driver of deforestation while increasing energy security and sustainability.
Activities:
Charcoal is one of the main sources of domestic energy in the country, particularly for urban areas where it is the main energy source for 47% of households. In order to make the current charcoal value chain sustainable, the value chain needs to be viewed holistically. It is therefore important to establish a cross-sectoral Charcoal Unit which can maintain an overview of the various elements in the chain involved: forest management; charcoal production; transport, distribution and retail; and consumption.
The NAMA will start with a smaller short-term Phase I NAMA to improve value chain sustainability. Phase I will consist of three main activities:
- the Charcoal Unit will begin to coordinate activities and stakeholders, and to implement MRV systems
- grant funding will be made available to the private sector and CSOs to encourage the sustainable production of charcoal
- the activities of a MALEBI (Association of Women Producers and Traders of Secondary Forest Products), an existing CSO working on the sustainable charcoal value chain, will be funded so that the organization can be improved and up-scaled, serving as a model organization for the country.
A NAMA study has been carried out by MDG Carbon to provide Côte d’Ivoire with an important opportunity to help shape its future low carbon development. The conclusion of the study is that the NAMA Phase I described is realistic, can be achieved in the short term and still has transformative and sustainable effects on the charcoal sector of Côte d’Ivoire.
