Inside: ENGLISH VERSION 2 Because we are organized into clusters, we are now able to make payments more often. So far, 100 TIST Clusters have received payment vouchers.This month, Clusters will begin to receive payments for their groups.All Small Groups that qualify for payments will be paid. For a group to get paid: 

• It should have been quantified 

• All members should have signed the GHG Contract 

• It should have more than 500 trees Again, at least two-thirds of the members of a Small Group must attend the payment meeting to assure transparency. Two representatives of a Small Group must attend the meeting where vouchers are distributed to receive a voucher. New procedure during payments: 1. Small Groups qualifying for payments will be issued with vouchers and an agreement to accept payments through the Mpesa system. Small Groups receiving money for the first time will be given a free Safaricom SIM card.Those groups that had previously received payments will be required to activate their SIM cards. ALL Small Groups will receive their payments through the SIM card given by TIST. 

This helps us ensure payments are accurate and accountable. 2. After receiving the voucher, you will be required to meet with members of your group to check whether your voucher amount is accurate, make sure everyone is aware of the payments and their share, and discuss other matters related to your group. You should sign the voucher together before payment at the next month’s meeting. 3. During the payments, make sure at least twothirds of your members are present . No group with less than two-thirds present will be paid. They will have to wait for the next month’s payment and have two-thirds present then. 4. Also, during payments, make sure that your TIST Small Group SIM Card is registered with Mpesa and it is active. Make sure you bring your voucher, Mpesa agreement form, and a copy of your GHG Contract with you. Remember, two-thirds of your members must be present. 5. Your Coordinator will check your records, verify and approve them. If you meet all the above requirements, she/he will inform the payment person (not at your cluster meeting) to pay your group. You will receive your payment within 20 minutes. Remember, the number of trees you have will determine the amount of money you will get. Take advantage of current rains to plant more trees and get more money next payments. Small Groups to receive monthly payments from December. On 31st Oct - 4th Nov 2011,TIST Kenya had an opportunity to host one of its carbon credits buyers. These are the buyers who bought the first TIST Kenya VCS carbon tonnes. In May this year, TIST became the first program in world to achieve both Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and Climate, Community and Biodiversity Alliance (CCBA) standards. Therefore, British Petroleum (BP), a company well known to us in petroleum industry became among our first buyers. Ms. Naomi Korolew represented BP and their 

“Target Neutral” company that purchased the TIST tonnes, and she lead a team that included Nathan Wimble who is Global Sales Director, of Carbon Neutral Company and Mehmet Binay, a professional photographer. The team visited several groups in TIST and met TIST members at a Cluster meeting, and at a seminar in Meru. Naomi’s Team also meet farmers at Kahuho Cluster meetings. The Team later on joined TIST farmers from the best 20 Clusters at a Seminar at Gitoro Conference Center, Meru. What the buyers said about TIST program; “Great!Excellent work on changing the world environment. Keep it up and we look forward for a long term relationship.” Carbon Buyers visit TIST Farmers. ENGLISH VERSION 3 TIST Kenya has a working partnership with Kenya Forest Service. On 6th June, 2011,TIST and KFS entered into a Memorandum of Understanding that will allow farmers neighboring gazetted forest areas and working under Community Forest Associations to join TIST, plant indigenous trees in the forest lands and earn carbon credits income among other benefits. TIST farmers can join their local CFA to plant. KFS expressed eagerness to learn TIST’s monitoring system. From 14th – 17th November, 2011, a team of 17 KFS officials were trained at Gitoro Conference Center. The training topics included the following; 1. TIST Data Monitoring system and ways of up -scaling it to the national level. 2. TIST service structure with focus on Small Groups organization 3. Carbon credit business and how it works 4. Entry point for farmers joining TIST 5. Field training – real quantification in the field. This Team was impressed and thanked TIST for the training. Mr. Maneno, Meru Zonal Manager found TIST data system and tools necessary for KFS data tracking while Mr. Kariuki, DFO Mbeere had this to say, “ TIST methodology of data collection is good. Monitoring of this nature will help in realizing the country’s Vision 2030.” Other officials had this to say: 

• Madam Sarah-GIS-KFS,“Personally impressed by the TIST data collection,KFS has a big lesson to learn from TIST and do the same in the service.” 

• Madam Cherono, Uasin Gishu Conservancy, “Farmers really seem to be happy. TIST is making a difference in their lives.” 

• Madam Kimotho, Nakuru DFO, “Farmers well informed on TIST operations and happy to take TIST to other places” Kenya Forest Officers Receive Training from TIST. We, Mbeere TIST farmers had a very successful field trip in other TIST areas around Mt Kenya – Meru and Nanyuki regions – between 3rd and 5th October, 2011. This trip, ‘come, see and learn’ included farmers from different parts of larger Mbeere both in areas that TIST is currently serving as well as potential clusters. As a result of this trip, we learn a lot and we are focusing on; 

• Sharing our trip experiences with our neigbours and friends. So far, areas such as Kiritili, Machanga, Igumoini, Siakago,Makima and Ishiara are interested to join TIST 

• Establishing tree nurseries 

• Planting more trees especially this season to both qualify for TIST incentives and carbon credits. 

• Planting more fruit trees, both for carbon credits income and fruits. 

• Organizing existing TIST Clusters - Nthingini, Kilia and Kamwiyendei - to have their groups quantified 

• Building on training capacities in our Clusters based on our learning experience during the trip On our part, we shared with our host TIST farmers on how to grow green grams and on operations of our village microfinance program – SILC. Mbeere TIST Farmers on “Come and See” Tour in Mt Kenya Area. ENGLISH VERSION 4 Why it is important to protect our rivers and streams? 

• To stop polluting our rivers. 

• To reduce flooding. 

• To reduce siltation of the river which reduces water capacity. 

• To protect other living organisms and creatures that live in the river e.g. fish. How to protect our rivers and streams 

• DON’T PLOUGH – use conservation farming 

• Planting trees around the farmyard. 

• Planting grass along the river banks. 

• Stop cultivating along the river bank. i.e. if the river is 5 meters wide, don’t cultivate 5 meters near the river, if the river is 10 meters don’t cultivate 10 meters along the river. You should either plant grass and or trees. 

• Do not graze along the river. Draw water from the river and take to your cattle. Or cut the grass and take it to the cow. 

• Educate other farmers on the importance of protecting the rivers. 

• Build barriers along the river banks e.g. gabions. 

• Plant water friendly indigenous trees along the banks. 

• Plant cover crops on you farm that improve fertility e.g. sweet potato vines, arrow roots, pumpkins, pasparum grass.This will reduce soil erosion

• Conserve the natural shrubs and bushes along the river banks. 

• Plant trees water friendly trees like Water berry, Podo Carpus, Prunus African, Ficus cycamora, mwiria, Mware, peacock flower, Mukwego, 

• You can as well plant shrubs to reduce erosion. E.g nkamuria,maruru, nthithiu,irinmba,menywa, mutenderuko/ upesi, stinging nettle,thaa/thabai. Why Farmers need to take action in protecting rivers. 

• Farmers would want to maintain the soil fertility of their land. 

• To rehabilitate / improve already eroded land. 

• To reduce further degradation of soil. 

• To maintain steady flow of water in our rivers. 

• To have clean water from the rivers, streams and wells. 

• To prevent water borne diseases. 

• To avoid flooding because this would ruin their land 

• To help provide good water for people and animals downstream Protecting our Rivers and Riparian Areas. In 2008, 

TIST farmers through Cluster meetings and seminar developed a policy that set tree spacing best practice of 3m – 4m with a minimum spacing of 2m.All Small Groups were to comply with this spacing by 31st December, 2010. Also, farmers agreed and set it as a policy to limit the percentage of Eucalyptus trees in their groups to below 33% by 31st December, 2011.The deadlines set for these two policies meant those groups who wouldn’t comply were to be excluded in future tree payments till they meet the policy requirements. However, some of the TIST farmers have requested that these two policies be reviewed and be extended. Leadership Council considered these request and has recommended and approved continued payments to groups that do have more than 33% Eucalyptus as well as those who haven’t meet minimum tree spacing of 2m. Nevertheless, Small Groups are still encouraged to reduce their eucalyptus percentage and follow the best recommended tree spacing of 3 – 4 m. TIST’s Policy on Tree Spacing and Eucalyptus.

ENGLISH VERSION 5 On 31st October to 4th November, 2011, some of the Best Clusters in TIST had a seminar at Gitoro Conference Center Meru.This seminar discussed important Cluster improvement ideas with an ultimate goal of Clusters becoming self-governed. Some of the options of getting independent Cluster is to transform them either into a company or SACCO. This discussion is still on and TIST hasn’t yet decided on either the two forms of legal entity. However, this move will empower the Cluster to Proof of progress in Clusters and ways of reducing costs and increasing results. legally engage in other economic and social activities besides carbon business.
