A simple tool to provide rapid ex-ante estimations of the impact of agriculture and
forestry development projects on GHG emissions and carbon sequestration, but
using data already available (cost-effective) within classical formulation or
evaluation of existing project.

Objective: Increase agricultural production and productivity
Targets: 2.5 millions farmers
Means: improve rice and maize crops ( vouchers : improved seeds, inputs), stop
residue burning, adoption of improved practises with better agronomic practises
and better nutrient management
Duration of carbon balance appraisal: 7+13 years
