Accurate emissions measurement and mitigation is complex. It requires a number of overlapping activities.

CSA supports the workshops, training and research needed to establish and manage national agricultural inventory systems in line with international standards.
Training for government decision makers, researchers and inventory compilers to build skills in GHG measurement and mitigation. Local capacity enables development of effective climate and agricultural policies and strategies.
The Hubs are centres of excellence, with the equipment and expertise to conduct local research, to provide support to lower capacity countries in the region and to be libraries of regional knowledge.
CSA has installed advanced emissions measurement equipment into most partner countries, to enable independent research into local circumstances.
CSA is building working connections between each country's ministries, research institutes, their counter parts in the region, and international funding organisations. These relationships will encourage a long-lived agriculture inventory; promote future collaborative projects; and attract outside investment.
CSA is funding targeted research projects such as animal experiments, farmer surveys and small-scale mitigation pilot. These are crucial to plug data gaps in national inventories and finding local climate solutions, all while building our partner countries capabilities.
