NAMA: Sustainable Fertilizers Production and Use
Title:
Sustainable Fertilizers Production and Use
DescriptionOfMitigationAction:
<p>This Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) for the agriculture sector in Rwanda focuses on the development and implementation of sustainable fertilizer production and use accomplished across several subsector component programs including: (a) creation of up to 600 community cattle agribusiness cooperatives for organic composting of fertilizers for reductions of animal enteric GHG emissions and use of other field residues for composting, in lieu of burning, (b) improved production for producing finely granulated natural lime found in abundance in Musanze, Karongi and Rusizi districts of Rwanda, and (c) improved and sustainable agricultural fertilizer applications, soil erosion measures, and improved agronomic management of soils capacity development programs implemented through Rwanda’s agricultural extension service and farmer schools in rural areas. </p> <p>The key mitigation actions include the collection and production of livestock manure for organic <br /> Fertilizer, improved efficiency in lime production & application, elimination and reduction of <br /> vertical lime burning, and improved agronomic management of soils, fertilizers, and crop yields. </p> <p>Emission Reductions: <br /> The initial emission reduction estimations foresee a total mitigation potential of approx. <br /> 880,000 tCO2e for the period 2016 to 2030.</p> <p>Sustainable Development Benefits: <br /> This NAMA supports the Republic of Rwanda’s earnest and active policies and efforts in terms of poverty reduction, private sector economic growth, green growth and climate resilience strategies, and improving the quality of life of all citizens including improved child nutrition. Specific sustainable co-benefits of the NAMA include: <br /> - Improving livelihoods through increased income generation activities;<br /> - Improving agricultural productivity through the increased use of manure as fertilizer, and domestically produced lime;<br /> - Improving soil quality and reducing erosion through the planting of grasses and trees;<br /> - Improving nutrition through greater access to cattle based products (dairy and meat);<br /> - Increase in private sector small enterprises.</p> <p >Private Sector Participation: <br /> The basis of the implementation and operation of community cattle cooperatives is the establishment of the cooperatives as independent private sector small enterprises. Included within the NAMA is the integration and strengthening of, the lime production subsector, which is already private sector based. As well, existing agribusiness is private sector based in Rwanda and this is expected to be strengthened under the NAMAs capacity building activities. It is envisioned that communities would provide the land needed for the community cattle cooperatives and in-kind labour for implementation, where operation will be under the small enterprise business model. </p>

CommentsOnFinancialSupport:
Preparation of NAMA Design Document<br /> This consists of the activities and cost of full NAMA design and it’s documentation, including the <br /> institutional framework, implementation planning, baseline determination and emission <br /> mitigation calculations, financial structuring, support required, and MRV system design and <br /> management. (USD 122,000)<br /> <br /> Full Feasibility Studies:<br /> The three full feasibility studies will focus on: (1) technical, financial and institutional feasibility assessment for up-scaled community diary/livestock cooperatives (building on an existing programme), (2) study for low emissions lime production will also include a comprehensive survey of the sector for lime production, (3) study for best indigenous methods and gap analysis for manure and fertilizer management and practices.

RelevantNationalPolicies:
The planned NAMA is in line with all relevant national and sectoral policies, which are as follows:<br /> A) Key policy linkage to the national Green Growth and Climate Resilience strategy with a focus on low carbon development to 2020 and a vision for 2050. The key linking programmes are:<br /> - Programme 1: Sustainable Intensification of Agriculture; Action 1: Mainstreaming of Agroecology (key indicator = % of farms up-taking agroecology technologies); Action 3: Fertiliser Enriched Compost (key indicator = % of farms applying fertiliser rich compost)<br /> B) Rwanda’s updated Vision 2020<br /> C) In addition the NAMA is in line and considers the sectoral policies Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy II (EDPRS II) and the MINAGRI’s Strategic Plan for the Transformation of Agriculture in Rwanda Phase III (PSTA III).<br />
CommentsOnFullCost:
<p>The full costs of preparation covers comprehensive feasibility studies (including technical, financial <br /> and institutional feasibility assessment) for the 3 key sub-measures within the NAMA, a sector <br /> survey, the preparation of the full NAMA Design Document and institutional level capacity <br /> development support. </p> <p>Note that the Climate Change Focal Point (Rwanda Environmental Management Authority) and <br /> the National Implementing Entities will provide in-kind programme management, institutional <br /> coordination, and procurement services during the preparation phase of the NAMA. This in-kind <br /> contribution is not included in the estimated full cost of preparation.</p>
