Effective and Sustainable Clean Water Access in Sub-Saharan Africa
- Project Outline
- About the Developer
- Registry Information
- Purchase Inquiry
This project involves the installation of smart water taps accessible to the public in rural villages across Tanzania, The Gambia, and Kenya. The initiative ensures that, for each smart water tap, up to 50 families have immediate access to clean water around the clock, perpetually. The project boasts a remarkable 90% reduction in water waste, saving an impressive 950 liters of water each day. In addition, by obviating the need to burn wood and charcoal for boiling water from contaminated sources, this initiative annually saves an average of 100 tonnes of CO2 emissions per smart water tap, making a tangible impact on environmental conservation. Finally, this initiative has a transformative effect on the lives of girls within the community by reducing the time spent on water collection from 3-6 hours to just 10 minutes, facilitating a positive domino effect on education and health.
Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in the State of Acre, Brazil
- Project Outline
- About the Developer
- Registry Information
- Purchase Inquiry
The State of Acre, with a surface area of 164,221 km2, corresponds to 4% of the Brazilian Amazon and 2% of the national territory.
The Sustainable Development Policy of the State of Acre is clear when considering forest integrated management. In this policy, the forest is a provider of environmental products and services, and together with the diverse uses of the areas already converted, are structured based on the knowledge of the territory which allows the creation of integrated strategies at the local, municipal, regional and state levels.
The goals of the program include:
- The promotion of the transition to more productive agricultural systems
- Reducing the need to expand areas for agriculture and thus avoiding further deforestation
- Increasing the economic value of the standing forest
- Improving the quality of life of forest-dependent people
The concept of this program, its objectives, principles, guidelines and forms of management, were the result of a broad debate with civil society in the state of Acre on environmental services related to carbon and enshrined by law, incorporating the recommendations of each of the sectors consulted.
