Partners description

Objectives and Context

  • Context: The region faces desertification and soil erosion, with a need for sustainable agricultural practices.
  • Main Objectives: To enhance carbon sequestration, promote biodiversity, and test the economic viability of olive farming in Oman.

Project Description

  • Type of NBS: Afforestation with olive trees.
  • Scale of the Project: Regional
  • Target Population: Local farmers, regional economy, global carbon market.


Impacts and Benefits

  • Ecological Benefits: Increased biodiversity, improved soil stability.
  • Social Benefits: Enhanced local agriculture, education on sustainable practices.
  • Economic Benefits: Creation of agricultural jobs, potential revenue from olive products.
  • Carbon Sequestration: Estimated sequestration of 500 tons of CO2 over 30 years.

Monitoring and Evaluation

  • Performance Indicators: Number of trees surviving, tons of CO2 sequestered, hectares of land restored.
  • Monitoring Methods: Annual ecological surveys, carbon measurement protocols.
  • Results Achieved: To be evaluated at the end of each planting season and at project conclusion.

Financing and Resources

  • Total Budget: $200,000
  • Funding Sources: 
    • 40% landowner investment, 
    • 30% carbon financing, 
    • 30% agricultural grants.
