Page 6 TIST Kenya Cluster Servants during their seminar last month. Inside: ENGLISH VERSION 2 L ast year, TIST Program underwent vigorous successful verifications both in Kenya and Uganda. Kenya project involved 480,617 tonnes of carbon, while Uganda had the biggest with 550,957 tonnes of carbon. These are saleable tonnes available now for purchase! We, TIST family, are grateful to our Quantifiers for their hard work and dedication to TIST. As you know, TIST was formed to help improve the environment by planting trees and to use the carbon stored in the trees as a new source of income for the participating farmers. Turning carbon into income is a challenge and developing a project that involves over 80,000 farmers is exceedingly difficult. 

However, we at TIST always believed it could be done, but we needed the proper tools.The TIST monitoring system was part of the answer, but equipment and computer programs don’t mean a thing, without people with the skill to use them.As a TIST Quantifier, you have been responsible for collecting the data required by the international carbon market. It has required countless days of travel, learning to use the palm computers and GPS, taking accurate tracks, identification of over 100 species of trees and getting accurate counts. As per the verification and certification procedures, we submitted our project documents under the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standard (CCB). Only those TIST groves that met the full requirements of these standards were included. Rigorous audits of those groves were done by our verifiers (third-party auditor). In both cases, we passed successfully with less than 2.5% risk level (buffer) against the allowed 10%. Along with these verifications, the verifiers also measure the impact of the program along climate, community and biodiversity benefits. In Kenya alone, this verification reported that a TIST farmer involved in the project has benefits up to Ksh 146,224.These benefits are measured against the availability of increased firewood and savings, fodder for cattle, fruits & nuts, honey, improved agriculture, increased crop yields, and timber, among others. Thank you TIST Kenya and TIST Uganda Quantifiers: We have passed the Largest Verifications. 

ENGLISH VERSION 3 G rowing trees absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide is one of the ‘greenhouse gases’, which captures the sun’s radiant heat inside the Earth’s atmosphere, helping to maintain the temperature of the Earth’s surface. The Earth is getting hotter and hotter which can be very damaging. This is called the Greenhouse Effect, which causes some areas of the world to experience more flooding, more drought or desertification. The burning of fossil fuels like oil, coal and natural gas and the cutting down of trees produces carbon dioxide. Because growing trees absorb carbon dioxide, they help reduce the Greenhouse Effect. Governments and large Industries in many countries want to reduce their emission of carbon dioxide, so that the Earth does not heat up as much. They have signed many different agreements including the Paris Accords, which have every government in the world involved. TIST Quantifiers count and measure the trees we plant, so that CAAC can work out how much carbon dioxide the trees absorb. The unit of measurement is equal to one tonne of carbon dioxide absorbed and sequestered in the living tree. In order to make a ‘carbon credit’, the TIST program must be “Validated” by an outside third party to assure that all international requirements are met. Then the amount of CO2 sequestered by the TIST trees is “Verified”, to be accurate. Companies and Governments can then buy those ‘carbon credits’, meaning they can pay for TIST trees to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions for them. We must have honest and accurate data on trees to sell these credits to a buyer. 

The carbon credit money can help groups to be even more productive, effective and start new projects. TIST groups get paid an advance of $20 for each 1000 trees each year (roughly 2.00 Kshs per live tree per year).When the carbon is sold, the TIST farmers will receive 70% of the profits. In addition to the greenhouse gas payments, the TIST farmers also benefit from other TIST activities that the Verifiers have determined are worth over 40 times as much as the prepayments to date. TIST Farmers - lets plant more trees! Together we achieve greater benefits. TIST: Greenhouse Gas Business. ENGLISH VERSION 4 T IST farmers have responded to a global call to combat global warming and climate change. Many farmers have sought understanding through TIST seminars/trainings and at cluster meetings, to learn and understand more about global warming, its effect on the climate, and mitigation approaches. We see many impacts of climate change today. Just to illustrate a few instances of impacts - floods, droughts and typhoons are more intense. Other notable illustrations are the gradual wearing off the glaciers at the peak of Mt. Kenya, unpredictable weather patterns that have resulted in crop failures in many areas, drying of water springs and water catchments areas, among many others. This month’s newsletter will share training notes from seminars, so that we all can understand global warming and climate change better. We will begin by defining each term and explaining it further and then learn how your trees play a significant role in mitigating the effects of global warming. What is Global Warming? Global warming refers to an average increase in the Earth’s temperature, which in turn causes changes in climate. A warmer Earth will lead to changes in rainfall patterns, stronger storms, a rise in sea level, crop failures, and a wide range of impacts on plants, wildlife, and humans. When scientists talk about the issue of climate change, their concern is about global warming caused by human activities and the extremes of climate and weather variability this brings about. Is the Earth getting warmer? Yes! The Earth has warmed by about 1ºC over the past 100 years. Over 95% of the world’s leading climate scientists say that things people do are making the Earth warmer, such as burning of fossil fuels including coal, petrol, and natural gas, and cutting forest and managing land poorly. What is the Greenhouse Effect? 

The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere, called greenhouse gases - like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, sulfur dioxide, and methane - trap energy from the sun. Major sources of carbon are deforestation, gases emitted from industries, gases emitted from motor vehicles, gases emitted from burn of wood fuel or charcoal and burning of forests. What are the dangers of Global Warming? • Severe water stress in the arid and semiarid land areas would result in more areas becoming desert. • Increased spread of diseases like malaria.As areas become warmer, they become suitable breeding grounds for mosquitoes, and increasing risks of malaria infection. Many families and health institutions can be impacted, average life spans decline, and infant mortality rates rise. • Decreased agricultural production in many tropical and subtropical countries, especially countries in East Africa. Due to decreased rainfall and increased breeding of pests, due to increased warming, the production of food crops may decrease and this results in poverty and hunger among many families and communities. • Higher worldwide food prices. As more farmers get less yields and food supplies become scarce, the prices increase because the demand is high and supply is low. • Major changes in the productivity and composition of critical ecological systems, particularly forests. Water catchment areas in the mountains and forests continue to dry up. 

This will affect the ability to irrigate crops and will reduce stream flows necessary to keep dams and reservoirs replenished.This will reduce generation of hydroelectric power. Our industries, hospitals and other institutions that heavily rely on electricity will be severely affected. The supply of piped water to urban areas, as well as rural homes, will also be affected. • Tens of millions of people at risk from flooding and landslides, driven by projected increases in rainfall intensity and in coastal areas, rising sea levels. TIST Farmers Combat Global Warming and Climate Change. ENGLISH VERSION 5 How can I prevent Global Warming? “I’m a farmer. I can grow crops and I can absorb carbon. I can sell my crops and I can sell my carbon.” Plant and care for trees! As mentioned above, carbon dioxide is the major cause of global warming. Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air during photosynthesis and store it in the wood, roots and soil as cellulose carbon. However, when trees are cut and burned, they release most of the carbon they had stored back to the air. Did you know each tree could create a microclimate? Trees and their cover cool the surface of the earth. Feel the comfort of the shade of a tree. Notice that the soil below is moister than where the sun bakes it with no shade. When the ground stays cooler, the ground holds more moisture longer. This means that trees on your land will help improve the amount of water in your soil, and help retain it for a longer time. This will help your crops and also even help the water users in your area. What are carbon credits? To make a TIST carbon credit requires three things: 1) A real and additional reduction in the carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air; 2) A promise to keep the carbon out of the air for many years (usually 30); 3) A Verification by an independent third party that certifies that the actions have taken place according to all the rules, and the amounts of tonnes sequestered are accurate. Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air during photosynthesis and store it in the wood, roots and soil.The amount of carbon taken from the air and stored can be measured and calculated, and then, when verified as accurate, this absorption of carbon dioxide can be sold on the world market as carbon credits. Buyers can purchase these credits to offset their carbon dioxide emissions. 

TIST is able to sell the carbon absorbed in trees, just like producers sell sugar and milk.With carbon, however, you don’t ship the tree to the market. Instead, the value is from the carbon taken out of the air, kept in the tree on your farm or forest, measured and reported. The trading of carbon credits can be done through electronic exchanges, or it can be arranged between people or companies directly. We have to meet the market rules and requirements. We cannot clear forest, or cut trees to plant trees, since this is bad for the environment. We have to commit to keep trees in a grove growing for the long-term, 30 years or more. We have to report data accurately. Once trees are planted, some measurements and calculations are made to measure the amount of carbon TIST farmers trees have absorbed. Note again, trees are never actually taken to the markets.They remain in the shambas and the longer they stay alive, the longer the period of receiving payments. So, the farmer keeps the trees, the fodder, the firewood, and the fruits and the nuts.The money that TIST makes selling carbon offsets creates a new source of income and is then shared with TIST Small Groups and used to support the costs of TIST, including training, quantification, and management. Do all trees absorb the same amount of carbon? No.Trees with wider circumference (more biomass) store more carbon that trees that are thin. Taller trees also absorb more carbon than short trees. Therefore, trees that are thick will bring more income from carbon credits. 

This means trees planted with good spacing have a chance of growing big and tall and earn more carbon income. They do not compete for soil nutrients and water as much as trees that are closely spaced. Therefore, in order to receive good payments out of our trees, it is important to plant them in a good enough spacing that will allow them to grow healthy, tall and big.Thinning some of the trees to harvest firewood and keep the other trees growing well is usually the best way to manage your trees. Where/who are the buyers of carbon credits? Currently, carbon credits are sold on voluntary markets and in compliance markets.They may be certified in different ways, just as there are different brands and certifications for other products you buy and sell (like coffee, and organic coffee under different labels). TIST could market its carbon credits on the compliance or the voluntary market because they are of high quality. ENGLISH VERSION 6 There are many different standards in these markets with different and ever-changing rules about tree planting, monitoring, and reporting that we must meet to sell carbon offsets. We use the highest quality standards for the Validation and Verification — the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and the Climate, Community, and Biodiversity Alliance Standards (CCBA). TIST has two basic types of buyers: The first is made up of people willing to give money to encourage people to plant trees. Examples include paying for tree planting projects to make a wedding, or a conference, carbon neutral. The second type is made up of companies in the US, Europe, Canada and other industrial countries that are making voluntary commitments to reduce their GhG emissions, either because they are good stewards of the environment, or they are preparing for future regulatory requirements. 

TIST is very happy to have good quality carbon credits, and to be able to supply many different customers. T IST Leadership Council notes with regret that besides Small Group payments happening most of the time last year, there were a considerable number of groups having fully qualified for payments but missed their vouchers,and hence their payments. Leadership Council has since established a special team to look this issue. A decision will be made to pay them promptly, even where the database fails to generate their vouchers. LC will try to transparently and accurately calculate the amount owed to Small Group manually. As a reminder, in all payments, Small Groups need to do the following in order to make payments smooth and effective: Things that your Small Group should do: 1. Be on time! When you are late to the meeting, it causes delays for everyone. 2. Make sure your Small Group is represented in all Cluster meetings. During the issuing of vouchers, at least two members of your group must be present. You will be paid the month after you receive your voucher. 3. When your Small Group is issued your voucher, please be sure to: a. Inform all members of your group that you received the voucher and its amount. b. All members of your group should sign the Agreement to accept Mpesa payments. 4. You should select two of your group members, one to hold the SIM card and one as PIN Custodian for your group. TIST: Small Groups that Qualified for Payments but missed Vouchers will be paid soon! 5. At least three members of your group should sign the voucher. 6. Make sure that your Safaricom SIM card has been registered with MPesa and that the card is active. Your SIM Card custodian should be the one to be registered on behalf of the Small Group but the MPesa PIN should be secretly kept by your PIN Custodian – another member apart from SIM card custodian. 7. If your group was previously issued a SIM card by TIST and it was registered, you need not have another card, but always make sure that it remains active. 8. During payments, your Small Group should be represented by a minimum of 2/3 of your members. Your Small Group members who signed the voucher should be present during the payment meeting. 9. If there are MPesa delays or any other problem that causes your group to be delayed in payments, give phone contacts of at least two more members, other than the SIM card and PIN custodians, to your cluster Accountability Person. 10. Upon receiving your payments, please inform other members of your Small Groups and also your Cluster Accountability person. Make sure that your cluster representatives return the signed vouchers to the TIST office. This is important for accurate payments to take place. 

If there is a delay in receiving vouchers, it may cause a delay in payment for your cluster. Published by TIST-Kenya.

Uk. 6 Picha ya wanaohesabu miti katika TIST Kenya wakiwa katika seminali Gitoro mwezi uliopita. Ndani ya gazetti: KISWAHILI VERSION 2 M waka jana, Mpango wa TIST ulipata uthibitisho mkubwa mafanikio nchini Kenya na Uganda. Mradi wa Kenya ulikuwa na tani 480,617 za kaboni wakati Uganda ilikuwa kubwa zaidi na tani 550, 957 za kaboni. 

Hizi ni tani zilizopatikana zilizopo sasa kwa ununuzi! Sisi, familia ya TIST, tunashukuru kwaWatakwimu wetu kwa kazi yao ngumu na kujitolea kwa TIST. Kama unajua,TIST iliundwa ili kusaidia kuboresha mazingira kwa kupanda miti na kutumia kaboni iliyohifadhiwa katika miti kama chanzo kipya cha mapato kwa wakulima wanaohusika. Kugeuza kaboni katika mapato ni changamoto na kuendeleza mradi unaohusisha wakulima zaidi ya 80,000 ni vigumu sana. Hata hivyo, sisi katika TIST daima tuliamini kwamba inaweza kufanyika, lakini tunahitaji zana sahihi. Mfumo wa ufuatiliaji wa TIST ulikuwa sehemu ya jibu, lakini vifaa na mipango ya kompyuta haimaanishi kitu, bila watu wenye ujuzi wa kutumia. Kama watwakwimuwa TIST, umekuwajibika kwa kukusanya data zinazohitajika na soko la kimataifa la kaboni. Imehitaji siku nyingi za kusafiri, kujifunza kutumia kompyuta za mitende na GPS, kuchukua nyimbo sahihi, utambulisho wa aina zaidi ya 100 za kuzingatia na kupata hesabu sahihi. Kwa mujibu wa taratibu za ukaguzi na vyeti, tumewasilisha nyaraka za mradi wetu chini ya Verified Standard ya Carbon (VCS) na Kiwango cha Hali ya Hewa, Community and Biodiversity (CCB). Ni wale tu TIST ambaowalikidhi mahitaji kamili ya viwango hivi walijumuishwa. Uhakiki mkubwa wa mashamba hayo ulifanywa na wahakikisho wetu (mkaguzi wa tatu). Katika kesi zote mbili, tumefanikiwa kwa kiwango cha hatari chini ya 2.5 (buffer) dhidi ya kuruhusiwa 10%. Pamoja na uthibitishaji huu, watazamaji pia wanapima athari za programu pamoja na faida za hali ya hewa, jamii na biodiversity. Katika Kenya peke yake, uthibitisho huu uliripoti kuwa mkulima wa TIST aliyehusika katika mradi imekuwa faida hadi Ksh 146,224. Faida hizi zinapimwa dhidi ya upatikanaji wa kuni na kuokoa, chakula cha ng’ombe, matunda & karanga, asali, kilimo bora na kuongezeka kwa mazao ya mazao, mbao kati ya wengine. Asante TIST Kenya na TIST Uganda Watakwimu: 

Tumeipitisha Uhakikisho mkubwa Zaidi. KISWAHILI VERSION 3 M iti inayokua hunyonya gesi ya kaboni kwa njia ya kutengeneza chakula. Kaboni dioksidi ni mojawapo ya ‘gesi chafu’ (greenhouse gases) ambazo huteka joto la jua lililopo katika anga ya dunia na kusaidi kudumisha hali ya joto katika uso wa dunia. Wanasayansi wengine wanafikiri kuwa dunia inazidi kuwa na joto zaidi na zaidi, joto ambalo lweza kuwa lenye kudhuru sana. Jambo hili huitwa athari ya hewa chafu (greenhouse effect), ambayo hufanya maeneo mengine kupanda mafuriko zaidi, ukame zaidi au kuenea kwa janga. Kuchomwa kwa ngataa kama mafuta, makaa yam awe na gesi ya kiasili hutoa kaboni dioksidi. Kwa sababu miti huchukua kaboni dioksidi kutoka hewani, inasaidia kupunguza athari za gesi chafu. Serikali na viwanda vikubwa katika nchi nyingi wanataka kupunguza utoaji wa kaboni dioksidi ili dunia isizidishe joto sana. Maqwantifaya wa TIST huhesabu na kupima miti tunayopanda ili TIST ifanye kazi ya kuhesabu ni kiasi kipi cha kaboni dioksidi kinachonyonywa na miti. Kipimo chake huitwa ‘carbon credit’ (kadi za kaboni) na ni sawa na kunyonya kilo elfu moja za kaboni dioksidi. Makampuni na serikali zaweza kununua kadi hizi kumaanisha wanaweza kulipia miti ili ipunguze utoaji wa kaboni dioksidi. Lazima tuwe na data yenye kuaminika na sahihi kuhusu miti ili kuuza kadi hizi za kaboni kwa mnunuaji. Pesa kutokana na kuuza kaboni hii zaweza kusaidia vikundi kuzalisha zaidi, kufanya kazi zaidi na kuanza miradi mipya.

Vikundi vya TIST hulipwa dolla ishirini kwa kila miti elfu moja iliyo hai kila mwaka (takriban shilingi 1.8 kwa kila mti hulio hai kila mwaka). Malipo ya gesi chafu si faida ya kipekee kikundi kidogo hupata kwa sababu miti ina thamani mara kumi hadi arobaini kuliko pesa inayopata kutokana na biashara ya kaboni. Wakulima wa TIST – tupandeni miti zaidi! Pamoja tufikie faida kubwa zaidi. TIST: Biashara ya hewa chafu. KISWAHILI VERSION 4 Wakulima katika TIST wapambana na ongezeko la joto ulimwenguni na mabadiliko ya tabia nchi. Wakulima katika TIST wameitikia mwito wa ulimwengu wa kupambana na ongezeko la joto na mabadiliko ya tabia nchi. Wakulima wengi wametafuta kuelewa kupitia semina/mafunzo ya TIST na katika mikutano ya cluster ili kusoma na kuelewa mengi zaidi kuhusu kuongezeka kwa joto, athari zake kwa tabianchi na mbinu za kukabiliana nalo. Tunaona athari za mabadiliko ya tabianchi leo. Ili kuonyesha matukio kadhaa ya athari hizi, mafuriko ya Elnino ya mwaka 1998 yaliyovuruga karibu nchi yote na ukame mrefu uliofuatilia, na upepo mkali wa mwaka 2004 sana sana uliongezewa na ongezeko la joto duniani. Viashiria vingine mashuhuri ni kupunguzika kwa barafu katika kilele cha mlima Kenya, hali ya anga isiyo na utaratibu na ambayo imesababisha kuharibika kwa mazao katika maeneo mengi, kukauka kwa chemichemi na vyanzo vya maji, pamoja na mengine mengi. Jarida la mwezi huu linaangazia mafunzo kutoka semina ili sote tuelewe ongezeko la joto duniani na mabadiliko ya tabianchi. 

Tutaanza kwa kuelezea kila neon na kulieleza zaidi na pia tujue jinsi miti yako ina jukumu kubwa katika kukabiliana na athari za ongezeko la joto duniani. Ongezeko la joto duniani ni nini? Ongezeko la joto duniani ni ongezeko wastani la joto duniani, ambalo huleta mabadiliko katika tabianchi. Dunia yenye joto zaidi yaweza kusababisha mabadiliko katika mvua, dhoruba kali zaidi, kuongezeka kwa maji baharini, kuharibika kwa mimea, na athari kadhaa kwa mimea, wanyama pori na wanadamu. Wanasayansi wanapoongea kuhusu suara la mabadiliko ya tabianchi na katika hali ya anga, wasi wasi yao huelekezwa kwa ongezeko la joto linalotokana na kazi za binadamu na utofauti katika tabianchi na hali ya anga unaoletwa na jambo hili. Je, joto katika dunia linaongezeka? Ndio! Dunia imeongezeka joto zaidi ya digrii moja katika miaka mia moja iliyopita. Wengi wa wanasayansi wanaoongoza katika dunia hufikiri kuwa shughuli za binadamu hufanyanya dunia kuongezeka joto, kama kuchoma makaa yam awe, petrol na gesi ya kiasilia na kukata misitu na usimamizi mbaya wa ardhi. Greenhouse Effect ni nini? Athari hii ni kuongezeka kwa joto duniani kutakotokana na uwepo wa gesi Fulani katika hewa, zinazoitwa gesi chafu, kama, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, sulphur dioxide, na methane ambazo hutega nishati kutokana na jua.Vyanzo vikuu vya kaboni ni ukataji wa misitu, gesi kutokana na viwanda, gesi kutokana na magari, gesi kutokana na kuchoma miti au makaa na kuchoma misitu. Hatari za ongezeko la joto duniani ni zipi? § Uhaba wa maji mkali katika maeneo kame au yanayopakana na maeneo kame waweza kusababisha maeneo zaidi kuwa na jangwa. § Ongezeko la kuenea kwa magonjwa kama malaria. 

Jinsi maeneo yanavokuwa yenye joto zaidi, yanakuwa mwafaka zaidi kama maeneo ya kuzalisha ya mbu, na kuongeza uwezekano wa kupata malaria. Familia na hospitali nyingi zaweza kuathirika, wastani ya miaka ya kuishi kupungua, na ongezeko la vifo vya watoto wadogo. § Kupunguka kwa uzalishaji katika nchi za kitropiki na kisub-tropiki, hasa nchi katika Afrika Mashariki. Kwa sababu ya mvua iliyopunguka na ongezeko la uzalishaji wa wadudu kwa sababu ya joto, uzalishaji wa chakula waweza kupungua na ili husababisha umaskini na njaa katika familia na jamii nyingi. § Gharama zilizoongezeka za chakula katika ulimwengu mzima. Jinsi wakulima wengi watakavyopata mazao chache na chakula kuwa adimu, ndivyo bei ya chakula itakavyoongezeka kwa sababu mahitaji ni mengi na usambazaji ni kidogo. § Mabadiliko makubwa katika uzalishaji na muundo wa mifumo muhimu ya mazingira hasa misitu. Maeneo ya vyanzo vya maji katika milima na misitu huendelea kukauka. Hili litaathiri uwezo wa kumwagilia mazao maji na kupunguza maji katika mikondo ya maji yanayohitajika kujaza mabwawa na hifadhi za maji. Hili litapunguza kutengenezwa kwa umeme. Viwanda, mahospitali na taasisi zinginezo zetu ambazo kwa kiwango kikubwa hutegemea umeme zitaathirika sana. Usambazaji wa maji ya paipu katika maeneo ya mijini nay ale ya vijijini pia utaathirika. KISWAHILI VERSION 5 § Makumi ya mamilioni ya watu watawekwa katika hatari ya mafuriko na maporomoko ya ardhi, yanayoletwa na makadirio ya ongezeko la uzito wa mvua na katika maeneo ya bahari, ongezeko la viwango vya maji. Nawezaje kuzuia ongezeko la joto ulimwenguni? Panda na uichunge miti! Kama ilivyotajwa hapo juu, carbon dioxide ni moja ya gesi zinazoleta ongezeko la joto ulimwenguni. Miti hunyonya gesi hii kutoka kwa hewa inapotengeneza chakula na kuiweka katika mbao, mizizi na udongo kama kaboni selulosi. Hata hivyo, miti inapokatwa na kuchomwa, huachilia kaboni iliyokuwa imeweka. 

Unajua kuwa ila mti waweza kutengeneza tabianchi ndogo mahali ulipo? Miti na bima yake hupunguza joto lililo katika uso wa dunia. Hisi faraja ya kivuli cha mti. Tambua kwamba udongo ulio chini yake huwa na maji zaidi kulika ya udongo ulio palipo na jua pasipo na kivuli. Udongo unapokaa ukiwa baridi, huwa unaweka maji muda mrefu zaidi. Ili lamaanisha kuwa miti katika ardhi yako itasaidia kuongeza kiasi cha maji katika udongo wako na pia itasaidia kuweka maji udongoni kwa muda mrefu zaidi. Hili litasaidia mimea yako na pia kusaidia watu wanaotumia maji katika eneo lako. Kadi za kaboni ni nini? Ili kutengeneza kadi ya kaboni wahitaji vitu vitatu: 1) Punguzo la kweli na la kuongeza la kaboni dioksidi iliyo katika hewa; 2) Ahadi ya kuweka kaboni hiyo mbali na hewa kwa muda mrefu; 3) Ukaguzi unaofanywa na chama tofauti kinachothibitisha kwamba shughuli zimefanyika kulingana na mujibu wa sheria. Miti hunyonya kaboni dioksidi kutoka kwa hewa wakati inapotengeneza chakula na kuiweka katika mbao, mizizi na udongo. Kiasi cha kaboni kilichochukuliwa kutoka kwa hewa hupimwa na kuhesabiwa, halafu, kinapothibitishwa kuwa sahihi, kaboni hii iliyonyonywa yaweza kuuzwa katika soko la ulimwengu kama kadi za kaboni. Wanunuzi waweza kununua kadi hizi kukabiliana na kaboni wanayoachilia kwa hewa. 

TIST huweza kuuza kaboni iliyonyonywa na miti kama wazalishaji wanavyouza sukari na maziwa. Hata hivyo, katika kaboni, hauhitaji kutuma mti sokoni. Badalake, thamani ya kaboni iliyotolewa katika hewa na kuwekwa katika miti iliyo shambani au katika msitu wako, hupimwa na kuripotiwa. Biashara ya kadi za kaboni zaweza kufanyika New York, Chicago, London na mijiji mingineyo ulimwenguni, ama pia kupangwa kati ya watu au kampuni mbili moja kwa moja. Lazima tutimize sheria na mahitaji ya soko. Hatuwezi kukata msitu wote au kukata miti ili kupanda miti kwani hili ni baya kwa mazingira. Lazima tujitoe kuweka miti hii katika shamba kwa muda mrefu, thelathini au zaidi. Lazima turipoti data sahihi. Miti inapopandwa, vipimo na hesabu hufanyika ili kupima kiasi cha kaboni iliyonyonywa na miti ya mkulima katika TIST. Kumbuka tena, miti haipelekwi sokoni. Hukaa shambani na jinsi inavyokaa hai, ndivyo malipo yanavyoongezeka. Kwa hivyo, mkulima hukaa na miti, lishe ya mifugo, kuni, matunda na pia karanga. Pesa zinazotengenezwa na TIST katika kuuza kadi za kaboni hujenga chanzo kipya cha mapato na hugawanywa kati ya vikundi vidogo katika TIST na hutumika kusaidia kukidhi gharama za TIST, ambazo ni pamoja na mafunzo, uhesabu miti na usimamizi. Je, Miti yote hunyonya kiasi saw ach kaboni? La, miti iliyo na mzingo mpana huweka kaboni zaidi ya miti iliyo myembamba. Miti mirefu pia hunyonya kaboni zaidi ya miti mifupi. Hivyo basi, miti iliyo mipana huleta mapato zaidi kutokana na kadi za kaboni. Haishindani kupata virutubisho katika udongo na maji kama miti iliyokaribiana. Hivyo basi, ili kupata mapato mazuri kutokana na miti yetu, ni muhimu kuipanda kwa nafasi tosha itakayoiruhusu kukua kiafya, kwa urefu na upana. Kupunguza miti ili kupata kuni na kuiacha miti mingine ikue vizuri huwa njia nzuri zaidi ya kusimamia miti yako. Ni wapi/nani hununua kadi za kaboni? Hivi sasa, kadi za kaboni huuzwa katika masoko ya hiari na katika masoko ya kuhitimu mahitaji. Zaweza kuthibitishwa kwa njia tofauti, kama kulivyo na bidhaa mbalimbali na kuthibitishwa kwa bidhaa zingine unazonunua na kuuza (kama kahawa, kahawa aina mbalimbali). 

TIST yaweza kuuza kadi zake za kaboni katika masoko ya hiari au katika masoko ya kuhitimu mahitaj kwa sababu kadi zake ni za hali ya juui. Kuna viwango mbali mbali katika masoko haya vilivyo na sheria mbali mbali na zinazobadilika kila KISWAHILI VERSION 6 baada ya muda zinazohusu upandaji wa miti, ufuatiliaji, na kuripoti ambazo tunahitajika kuhitimu ili kuuza kadi hizi za kaboni. Tunatumia viwango vya hali ya juu zaidi katika ukaguzi na kuthibitishwa — the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) na the Climate, Community, and Biodiversity Alliance Standards (CCBA). TIST ina wanunuzi wa aina mbili msingi: Aina ya kwanza ni ya watu wanaojitolea kupeana pesa ili kuwapa watu motisha ya kupanda miti. Kwa mfano kulipia miradi ya upandaji wa miti kufanya harusi au semina kuwa kuwa isiyoongeza kaboni katika hewa. Aina ya pili ni ya makampuni yaliyo Amerika, Uropa, Canada na katika nchi zingine zilizokua viwanda zinazojitolea kupunguza gesi chafu zinazotoa kwa sababu mawakala wema wa mazingira au wanajitayarisha kuhitimu mahitaji Fulani ya baadaye. TIST ina furaha sana kuwa na kadi za kaboni za hali ya juu, na kuweza kusambaza kwa wateja mbalimbali. H almashauri ya Uongozi wa TIST inasema kwa kusikitisha kwamba pamoja na malipo ya Kikundi cha Kidogo kinachotokea mara nyingi mwaka jana, kulikuwa na idadi kubwa ya makundi yaliyostahiki kabisa kwa malipo lakini walikosa vyeti zao hivyo malipo yao. Halmashauri ya Uongozi tangu sasa imeanzisha timu maalum ili kuangalia suala hili. 

Uamuzi utafanyika kulipa mara moja hata ambako database haiwezi kuzalisha vocha zao. LC itajaribu kwa uwazi na kwa usahihi kuhesabu kiasi kilicholipwa kwa Kundi Lidogo kwa mkono. Kama kukumbusha, katika malipo yote, Vikundi Vidogo vinapaswa kufanya zifuatazo ili kufanya malipo vizuri na yenye ufanisi: Mambo ambayo kundi lako ndogo linapaswa kufanya: 1. Kuwa na wakati! Unapomaliza mkutano, husababisha kuchelewesha kwa kila mtu. 2. Hakikisha Kundi lako Ndogo linawakilishwa katika mikutano yote ya Cluster. Wakati wa utoaji wa vyeti, angalau wanachama 2 wa kikundi chako lazima wawepo. Utalipwa mwezi baada ya kukupokea 3. Wakati Kundi lako Ndogo limetolewa chacha yako, tafadhali hakikisha: a. Wajulishe wajumbe wote wa kikundi chako kwamba umepokea vocha na kiasi chake. b. Wanachama wote wa kikundi chako wanapaswa kusaini Mkataba wa kukubali malipo ya Mpesa. 4. Unapaswa kuchagua wajumbe wawili wa kikundi chako, moja kushikilia SIM kadi na moja kama PIN Mdhibiti wa kikundi chako. 5. Angalau wajumbe watatu wa kundi lako wanapaswa kusaini vocha. 6. Hakikisha kuwa kadi yako ya Safaricom SIM imesajiliwa na MPesa na kwamba kadi inafanya kazi. Msaidizi wa SIM kadi yako lazima awe yule aliyejiandikisha kwa niaba ya Kikundi Kikubwa lakini PIN ya MPesa inapaswa kuhifadhiwa kwa siri na Mdhibiti wako wa PIN - mwanachama mwingine isipokuwa na mtunza SIM kadi. 7. Ikiwa kikundi chako awali kilitolewa na kadi ya SIM na TIST na ilisajiliwa, huna haja ya kuwa na kadi nyingine, lakini daima uhakikishe kwamba inabakia hai. 8. Wakati wa malipo, Kundi lako Ndogo linapaswa kusimamishwa kwa kiwango cha chini cha 2/3 ya wanachama wako. 

Washirika wako wa Kikundi Kikubwa ambao wamesaini vyeti lazima wawepo wakati wa mkutano wa malipo. 9. Ikiwa kuna ucheleweshaji wa MPesa au tatizo lolote linalosababisha kundi lako lichelewe katika malipo, fanya anwani za simu za wanachama wengine zaidi ya 2 isipokuwa SIM kadi na watunza PIN kwenye Mtu wa Uwezeshaji wa nguzo. 10. Baada ya kupokea malipo yako, tafadhali wajulishe wajumbe wengine wa Vikundi Vidogo na pia mtu wako wa Uwezeshaji wa Cluster. Hakikisha kwamba wawakilishi wako wa nguzo kurudi vyeti zilizosainiwa kwenye ofisi ya TIST. Hii ni muhimu kwa malipo sahihi ya kutokea. Ikiwa kuna kuchelewa katika kupokea vyeti, inaweza kusababisha kuchelewa kwa kulipa kwa kikundi chako TIST: Vikundi Vidogo ambavyo vinafaa kwa Malipo lakini vimekosa Vipeperushi vitalipwa hivi karibuni!

Ngelekany’o Kuiva andu mande miti kwa alusi kana conference ya kwikala tuolete nzeve itavisa. Keli ni kambuni ila syi US, Europe, Canada na nthi ingi ila syina industries nimeyumasya kuola GhG ilasyumite nikwithiwa mena wendi museo kwa mawithyululuko kana meenda wambiia kuete walany’o wa kuola nzeve itavisaa. TIST yina utanu kwithiwa nzeve yayo yi imwe ya kilasi kya iulu na itonya uteea athooi aingi kivathukany’o. U tongoi wa kanzu ya TIST nikwilila nundu wa kwithiwa ndivi mbingi ya tukundi tunini ila ineekiwe mwaka muthelu vena tukundi twa utala tuvitukithitw’e na tuineekwata mathangu ma ndivi kwoou makalea ukwata ndivi yoo. Utongoi wa kanzu ino ya TIST niuseuvitye kikundi sya usisya unduu na kuamua undu me kuivwa ona kutwika masine nileetwe kumya mathangu moo. 

Kanzu ino nikutata na kwanzia yi kyenini na yaw’o kwika masavuu ma tukundi tuu na kwona kila mataite. Ta ulilikanio, nthini wa ndivi syonthe, tukundi tunini twaile ika maundu aa nikana kuikiithya ndivi vatena nthina. Maundu ala kakundi kaku kaile ika: 1. Atiiai masaa, waselewa niwaselesya kila mundu 2. Ikiithya kakundi kaku kena mundu yila kwina umbano wa ngwatanio. Ivindani ya mathangu ma ndivi (vouchers) nivaile ithiwa na amemba mainyiva eli kuka kakundini kenyu. Ndivi yukaa mwai ula uatiie itina wa ukwata ithangu ya ndivi. 3. Yila kakundi kenyu kanewa ithangu ya ndivi ikiithya. a) Wakwata niwamanyithya ala angi ma kakundi kaku iulu wa mbesa ila nandike ithanguni yiu. b) Amemba oonthe ma kakundi kenyu nimekia saii kwitikila ndivi kwisila Mpesa. 4. Nimwaile uyuva andu eli kuma amembani menyu ma kakundi kenyu kwikala na laini wa simu na pin ya kakundi kenyu. 5. Mainyiva amemba atatu kuma kakundini kenyu mekie saii kwa ithangu ya ndivi. 6. Ikiithya laini wenyu wa Safaricom kana nimuandikihye na Mpesa na laini nuuthukuma. Ula ukwikala na laini wenyu niwe waile kuandikithw’a vandu va kakundi kenyu. Pin ya Mpesa yaile ithiwa na mundu ungi eka ula wina laini wa simu na ula wina pin aile ikala amivithite iteumanyika ni kila mundu na ti ula wina laini. 7. Ethiwa kakundi kenyu mbeeni nikanengetwe laini ni TIST nikaile ithiwa na laini ungi na kuikiithya nuu thukuma kila saa. 8. Ivindani ya ndivi ikiithya mwina andu mainyiva 2/3 ma amemba ma kakundi kenyu. Ala meekiie saii mathanguni menyu ma ndivi maile ithiwa vo muiivwa. 9. Ethiwa kwina thina wa Mpesa kana nthina ungi utuma ndivi ya kakundi kenyu iselew, nenganai namba syenyu kwa mainyiva andu eli eka ula wina laini wa simu yenyu na ula wina pin ya mpesa ta mwii wenyu wa kinandu. 10. Wamina ukwata ndivi, kwandaia tavya amemba onthe ma kakundi kaku na uisyoka utavye mwiki wa masavu wa Ngwatanio yenyu. Ikiithya ngwatanio yenyu niyatunga mathangu mwikiite saii kwa uvisi wa TIST. Undu uu ni wavata nundu wa ndivi mbianiu kwikwa. 

Ethiwa vena museleanio wa kutunga na kukwata mathangu ma ndivi, nikutuma ndivi ya ngwatanio yenyu iselewa.
