Title: Capacity development for livestock GHG inventory improvement in Malawi
Funded by: Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) and Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI), New Zealand
Delivered by: NZAGRC, Unique land use GmbH
This project aimed to (1) Strengthen capacities of the DAHLD and other stakeholders to compile and manage the Tier 1 GHG inventory for all livestock species; and (2) Strengthen capacities to compile an initial Tier 2 GHG inventory for cattle and identify priorities for improvement. The Tier 1 livestock inventory (all species) was revised in line with recommendations from a previous inventor review; standard operating procedures were developed and relevant staff trained in ongoing management of the revised inventory. An inventory of GHG emissions from dairy and other cattle was compiled using the IPCC Tier 2 method. The inventory was compiled using the best available information. An inventory report was produced describing the results, data sources, methods and improvement priorities. The inventory was reviewed by experts from EAD.
