Waste & energy
Track waste processed, materials recovered and energy generated. Record operating conditions and methane capture to assess environmental performance.
Waste to WorthImpact & accountability
Looking beyond activity to lasting benefit.
Less waste, better household energy and productive soils are the ambitions behind TFA Climate. Credible evidence would help us understand what works for communities and the environment.
TFA Climate · Proposed monitoring framework
What we plan to measure.
The climate programmes are in development. These measures describe the evidence we intend to collect as projects progress.
Household cooking
Measure sustained stove use, fuel consumption and emissions through testing and field monitoring. Include household experience, training and aftercare.
Clean cookstovesBiochar & soils
Trace feedstock origin, production conditions, output and end use. Local field trials would assess soil condition and crop response before wider application.
BiocharCommunity outcomes
Monitor participation, local employment and household or farmer experience. Understand who benefits and where barriers to access remain.
Work with usProject baselines, boundaries and appropriate methods would be established before reporting outcomes. Programme plans do not establish verified emissions reductions, carbon removals or issued credits.
Purpose, Portfolio, Proof
Clear baselines.
Transparent reporting.
Proof begins with knowing the starting point. The proposed approach would define project boundaries, use consistent units and retain records of materials, energy and emissions.
Carbon accounting would consider energy use, transport and the wider project lifecycle. Any climate-credit claims would require an eligible methodology, validation, independent verification and issuance.
Reporting would distinguish plans, measured results and independently verified claims. That distinction helps communities and partners assess progress and make informed decisions.

Consider who can use a service and the barriers that still stand in their way.
Build local skills
Support the knowledge and institutions needed to keep solutions working.
Share opportunity
Pay attention to women, young people and communities with limited access to resources.
Protect what lasts
Connect immediate needs with the long-term health of land, water and ecosystems.
