Overview
The Africa Carbon Hub is a first point of reference for anyone trying to access information on carbon markets (including early-stage developers, and policymakers) and serves as a central node in the African carbon market ecosystem for knowledge sharing and accessing expert information. ACMI developed the Africa Carbon Hub as a one-stop shop for early-stage, first-time developers. The Hub comprises valuable resources, insights, and connections. The pages feature articles, guides, and case studies to keep you informed about the latest developments and best practices. Join our community to connect with experts, share ideas, and collaborate on projects. The Hub currently comprises of two modules on ‘Introduction to Carbon Finance’ and ‘Introduction to Carbon Markets in Africa)’, that have been produced in collaboration with FSD Africa. The pages feature articles, valuable resources, insights and case studies to keep you informed about the latest developments and best practices. As the Hub evolves, it will cover additional aspects such as providing support to accelerators to strengthen their own offering to developers. In addition, it is expected to serve as a platform for providing targeted transaction advisory and project development support that would work with strategic sector or geography pioneering transactions.

Explanation
ACMI has developed a methodology that enables the displacement of fossil fuel generator sets with renewable energy sources, such as solar PV systems, in a way that the transition can be verified for carbon credit issuance. This methodology allows companies and project developers to monetize the carbon emission reductions achieved through the shift to renewable energy, thereby providing an additional financial incentive for sustainable energy transitions. The methodology is currently under development and will meet the standards and process robustness needed to be adopted for issuing/trading carbon credits and has been approved by standard setting organizations
Overview
The proposed Training Program offers a 6-month foundational course that delves into the theoretical essentials of carbon offset validation and verification. Following this, participants embark on a 9-month apprenticeship, acquiring practical experience guided by seasoned professionals. After completing the apprenticeship, they receive personalized assistance to secure roles within Africa-focused VVBs, like TUV-Nord, fostering a localized strategy to cultivate their skills as adept lead assessors in the ever-evolving carbon auditing sector. The training program aims to equip individuals with a comprehensive set of skills and attributes to effectively contribute to and influence the African carbon market.
