Community guidelines for accessing forestry voluntary carbon markets
4. Total number of planted trees from 2009 up
to and including 2012: 2.2 million (4years×40
trees×13 800 households×3kg) + (3×40×13 800×3)
+(2×40×13,800×3) + (1×40×13 800×3)=16,560 tC or
61,000 tCO 2

5. Total number of planted trees from 2009 up to and
including 2017 are 5.0 million. (9years×40 trees×13
800 households×3kg) + (8×40×13 800×3) + (7×40×13
800×3) + (6×40×13 800×3) + (5×40×13 800×3) +
(4×40×13 800×3) + (3×40×13 800×3) + (2×40×13
800×3) + (1×40×13 800×3) = 74 520 tC or 273 000
tCO 2

6. The programme contribution in terms of short term
tree/shrub on contours, hedgerows, etc are not
included in the calculation. Same applies to potential
negative leakage like introduction of energy saving
stoves.
Supplementary information:
1. The average rainfall ranges from 700 to 2 000 mm per
annum; Altitude ranges from 1 140 masl at lakeshore
up to 1 800 masl in the Kenyan highlands; Soil types
found in Lake Victoria Basin are nitosols, plinthosols,
vertisols and greysols.
2. Intercropping of 200 trees per hectare (6 by 8 meters)
in agroforestry system, boundary planting, alley
cropping and scattered trees on farm land. Tree seed
species distributed in 2006 for Kitale and Kisumu
Projects, in an appendix.
3. 20-30 years normally, short term species 2-5 years.
