HIVOS CARBON CREDITS

At the same time, the compass reaffirms our strong belief in local ownership. That is why we decided to transfer our biogas programs to independent organizations based in the Global South. To achieve this, we followed a three-step approach... We supported YRE, BSUL and ABPL in becoming strong and fully independent organizations that can provide services on their own without Hivos' assistance. As a result, Hivos can hand over general project management, carbon project development and certification, and carbon ownership rights to them... Hivos is happy to announce that it has transferred its successful carbon finance programs to longstanding partners Yayasan Rumah Energi (YRE), Biogas Solutions Uganda Ltd. (BSUL), and African Bioenergy Programs Ltd. (ABPL). These organizations have become fully independent entities and will implement national biogas programs and associated carbon finance programs in Indonesia, Uganda and Kenya.
