Mazingira Bora - TIST

TIST Small Groups are happy for a success inthe riparian pilot program initiated by TISTto help conserve and protect our waterways.There are 28 rivers in TIST areas that have beenselected for this pilot program initiative and whereTIST members are working to plant indigenoustrees, removing eucalyptus. Farmers are choosingto stop cultivating near the river’s edge to stoperosion and pollution of the river. Today, we areglad to report that some members who are involvedin planting indigenous trees in their riparian areasand following best practices for riparian areas havereceived additional money for their hard work andcommitment. We are proud of theiraccomplishments and celebrate their work toconserve the rivers that we all depend on. Five ofthe Small Groups that received an additionalincentive for their work in Riparian Bufferconservation and restoration are in Kianjagi cluster.These are:1) Karujani S.H.G # 2007KE10122) Kajoroge Group # 2008KE3323) Gakeu T.P S.H.G # 2008KE12104) Wega # 2006KE10975) Mutindwa T # 2007KE625We spoke with them to learn from their experienceand example.What are the benefits of indigenous trees inriparian areas (along the riverbanks)?ENGLISH VERSIONProtecting Our Rivers – Planting more Indigenousand water friendly trees.By Jeniffer KithureWhy is it important to conserve riverbuffers?(a) Plants and trees in a buffer along rivers keepthe environment clean and secure as the soilfertility remains intact all year round.(b) Plants and trees in a buffer along rivers reducewaterborne diseases.(c) Increasing fish in rivers due to clean waterwithout pollution.What are your successes? What advice doyou have for your neighbors along theriverbanks?a) We have qualified to be riparian members.b) We have received an extra Payment forEnvironmental Services (PES) for our work.c) We have eliminated eucalyptus in the riparianareas.d) We have improved the quality and quantity ofwater in rivers and streams.e) We advise our neighbors to be kind to thoseothers who are in lower parts of the river, andto protect the river so these others can alsoget clean water.Their own grove will also remain secure fromsoil erosion when they plant trees and followthese best practices.3(a) Indigenous trees reduce soil erosion andflooding.(b) Indigenous trees help to clean water in rivers,streams and wells.(c) Roots of indigenous trees catch and retain soil.(d) Indigenous trees help clean air.(e) Indigenous trees produce shade for preventingwater evaporation.(f) Indigenous trees provide habitat and food forbirds, animals, and insects. Preserving thisbiodiversity in this way can benefit our farmssince, for example, some animals are importantfor pollinating crops and controlling pests.Small Groups members from Kianjagi Clusterreceiving payment vouchers for indigenoustrees.

ENGLISH VERSIONTandare Cluster: We grow strength by strength each season.By David ThukuWhen Tandare cluster was formed in2008, many members didn’tunderstand how TIST works very well,and many were not very motivated. However, afterconsistent trainings, members became more andmore interested in TIST. Training on ConservationFarming, stoves, and nursery created excitementand really motivated farmers.Today, in Tandare, we have 36 Small Groups.Many groups qualify for payments.We are happy to report that Tandare Clusterhas been consistently practicing rotationalleadership and that this best practice is workingwell. Each time a new leader is elected, new ideasare brought forth. For instance, our current Clusterleaders have helped the Cluster develop andimplement a Cluster nursery with a goal of raising500,000 seedlings by December 2013.Tandare cluster has 36 active Small Groups,and 6 Small Groups have nurseries The new clusterreps elected this year in May came with the ideaof developing a cluster nursery in a public land. Weworked to make this idea a reality, and meet everyweek on Tuesday to work on it. Today, Tandare’scluster nursery has about 40,000 seedlings. Wewill work to have 500,000 seedlings and to have atleast 200,000 trees quantified in the cluster by theend of December 2013.Members of Tandare Cluster tendering their Clusternursery at Warero dam site on 7 August, 2012We are inspired by the ideas of the members wechoose to represent us as rotational leaders andproud of what we are accomplishing by workingtogether. What are some great ideas from yourcluster that you can share?Members of Tandare Cluster during establishment oftheir Cluster nursery at Warero dam site on April ,20124Mporoko – A New Cluster joining TIST.By Joseph GitumaAnew Cluster is being born – MporokoCluster in Igembe district. Many farmershave been requesting TIST to expand intheir areas, and when the farmers organize and starttaking action, TIST can work with them to help themachieve membership. TIST has held several trainingmeetings in the area. Through the applicationprocess, farmers have been taught the following:1. TIST Basic information and History2. TIST Small Group Eligibility Requirements3. TIST Values4. Conservation FarmingWe, members of Mporoko Cluster are excited tojoin TIST. We are ready to be part of the communitythat believes in Honesty, Transparency, Accuracy,Mutual Accountability, Servant hood, Volunteerismand being role models. We are ready to use ourhands and heads, create big results with low costs.With TIST, We Grow!

ENGLISH VERSIONWe are Accurate, Honest, and MutuallyAccountable: Small Groups play key role incorrecting TIST data.Working together in TIST, we haveaccomplished great things. Today, thereare more than 6.4 million treesgrowing because of our work. We achieved andcelebrated World’s First Validation and Verificationunder the Verified Carbon Market and Climate andCommunity Standards, qualifying many TIST farmersto take part in the global carbon market. Whenwe work together and follow TIST Values, we havegreat success.However, the most recent Validation andVerification audit showed that we have not beencarefully following these values that are soimportant for success. We saw inaccurate treecounts and other problems that can really hurt TIST.We saw that some groups have been paid for treesthey have not planted. When we have problemslike this, it hurts all TIST farmers since if data is notaccurate, we cannot take part in the carbon market.Buyers want to buy from people they trust andwho they know are honest.We held a TIST Leaders’ seminar, withrepresentatives from clusters through all of TIST,to discuss the results of the Validation andVerification and decide how we can work to correctproblems that were found and to move forwardwith strength. The seminar had several importantoutcomes:We had to suspend tree payments until wecan be sure that data from Quantifications arecorrect and accurate. We are mutually accountable,and Small Groups are playing a very important rolein making sure that the data we have are correct.Clusters represented at the seminar are trying anew best practice: cluster representatives and SmallGroup are all reviewing the trees counted in eachgrove and sending information about whether thedata are correct or need to be corrected. Theyplan to complete this work by the end of September.When we learn the results from these pilot clusters,we can create a plan to move forward, and perhapsexpand this approach in other clusters. TISTQuantifiers also took responsibility for these dataand are working to correct data that they knoware not true to TIST Values.TIST farmers at the seminar said theyunderstood better than before the role each personhas in making TIST a success. They committedthemselves to do their best to help make sure thatresults are accurate. They committed themselvesto help TIST achieve big results that everyone cansee so that we will have more trees growing,accurately quantified, and more groups qualified forthe carbon market.TIST members left the seminar remotivatedand recommitted to TIST. We hope that each TISTmember also accepts this challenge andresponsibility. Together, we can achieve amazingthings.What can I do to help TIST succeed?- Attend and actively take part in TIST SmallGroup and Cluster meetings.- Know the data on groves Quantified in yourSmall Group and let your cluster leaders knowif the counts or other information know if it isnot accurate.- Plant more trees, and keep the trees youplanted growing and healthy.- Make sure someone from your Cluster isworking with the Quantifier duringQuantifications.- Tell your neighbors and friends about TIST, andencourage people who live by TIST values tojoin our work.- Commit to following the TIST Values yourself,in your Small Group and in your cluster.TIST Values;1. We Are Honest2. We Are Accurate3. We Are Transparent4. We Are Role Models5. We Are Servants To Each Other6. We Are Volunteers7. We Are Mutually Accountable To Each Other8. We Are Low Cost, High Results5

ENGLISH VERSIONCluster reporting: Share your successes to makeyour cluster and TIST strong.6In TIST, we find strength in taking action togetherand sharing our successes with others in ourSmall Groups, in our clusters, and beyond.Monthly cluster reports on cluster meetings andaccounting are an important part of this success.Each cluster is responsible for submitting a clustermeeting and cluster accounting report every month.How to report Cluster Budget and ClusterMeetings using SMSTransparency and mutual accountability are keyvalues of TIST. Each TIST cluster must report howit spends its 900/= cluster budget to achieve bigresults.TIST has been using a new, easier way forClusters to report their monthly budget use theirCluster Meeting Records using SMS. This approachallows a TIST member to send an SMS from theirphone to a central phone number. SMS messagesare collected and analyzed by TIST staff. If a clusterhas access to a working Palm, they should use theCluster Meeting and Accounting Forms on thePalms.However, with this new method, every clustershould report accurately and honestly every month.This approach simplifies reporting for ClusterRepresentatives and helps TIST staff support Clusteractivities.Reminder: for success, every month your clustershould:1) Attend your cluster meeting and remind othergroups to attend.2) Review together the results your cluster hasachieved: new trees planted, groups quantified,and how budget was spent together as a cluster.Make this part of the cluster meeting and ofyour Small Group meetings!3) Send reports by Palm or SMS for ClusterMeeting and Cluster Accounting.4) Organize quantification with Quantifiers. Makesure someone from your cluster assists in eachquantification!5) Invite your friends and neighbors to join TISTat a cluster meeting. Share this Mazingira Boraand help them with the application process.6) Make bigger results! Plant trees, build or buyan energy saving stove, practice CF.Remember: a strong cluster should have at least200,000 Quantified trees, 30-50 active Small Groupswho meet each month, elected servant leaders, andbe carrying out and reporting on good training andquantification.Together, we can achieve anything!Opportunity to sell Croton Nuts.Anew market for croton nuts has emerged.A company in Naro Moru is buying crotonseeds to manufacture biodiesel which canbeen used to run motor vehicles and othermachines.Eco Fuels Kenya, Ltd is buying crotons seedsat Ksh 6.50 per Kg. Farmers are collecting theseseeds from their own private farms or from thenearby forests.Many TIST farmers find that Crotonmegalocarpus, an indigenous tree, makes a goodwindbreak on their farm. This new market forCroton seeds is one more benefit to consider whenyou are choosing which trees to grow.Eco Fuels arranges for transport once thecollection has been made.For more information, contact:Cosmas Ochieng: 0725398675.Email: Cosmas@ecofuelskenya.com.www.ecofuelskenya.com

KISWAHILI VERSIONCluster ya Mitheru: Twajivunia mafanikio yetu katikaTIST na twafanya kazi pamoja kufikia mengineyo.Umeletewa na David MawiraSisi, wanacluster ya Mitheru, tunafurahakugawana na wakulima wengine wa TISTkatika dunia nzima, kuhusu tuliyofanikiwa nayotangu kuungana na TIST.Cluster yetu ilivyo sasa ina vikundi vidogoarobaini na nane. Mwezi uliopita vikundi vidogoishirini vilifikiwa na malipo ya motisha ya miti yaona vikundi vingine ishirini na moja vimefuzu kulipwa.Tulifikia haya kwa sababu vikundi hivyo vimepandazaidi ya miti mia tano na walihesabiwa miti hii kwaukamilifu.Pamoja na malipo ya miti, tumefaidika kutokanana mafunzo mengi na kutokana na kujihusisha katikakutenda kulingana na mafunz hayo. Tumefunzwakuhusu Kilimo hai, na wanaTIST wengiwamejishughulisha kutumia njia hii na wamepatamavuno bora zaidi.Katika cluster yetu tumefunzwa kuhusukuanzisha na kusimamia vitalu vya miti. Vikundivimeanzisha vitalu, na vikundi vingi vimepata pesazaidi kutokana na miti inayobaki baada ya kupandakatika mashamba yao.Sisi sote tumeona madhara ya ukataji miti,kutolewa kwa mimea yenye mbao na miti.Katika TIST, sisi hufanya kazi kuachisha ukatajimiti na kugeuza mengine ya madhara yake mabayazaidi.Sababu za ukataji miti• Ukataji miti hufanyika wakati miti inakatwa ilikutumika kama kuni, kutengeneza matofali,kukausha samaki, na kujenga, ama kufunguashamba ili liweze kulimwa.• Ukataji miti mwingi hutokana na kutokuwepokwa ujuzi kuhusu thamani kamili ya miti.• Wakati mwingine, thamani ya miti yaweza kuwainajulikana lakini umaskini na kutambulika kusiosahihi kuhusu ukosefu wa lingine la kufanyahulazimisha watu kukata miti.Shida zinazojitokeza• Ukosefu wa miti ya kufunika ardhi na mizizihuacha udongo hatarini na huruhusummomonyoko wa udongo.• Ukosefu wa rasili mali ya msitu tunayohitaji:kukata miti huharibu mahali pa wanyama pa kuishi,hupunguza viumbe hai/ bioanuwai, hutoa rasilimali ya chakula na dawa na huongeza ushindaniili kupata vifaa vyz ujenzi. Watu wanahitajikakutembea mbali zaidi ili kupata kuni, na bei zabidhaa zinazotoka misituni zinapanda juu sana.Wanacluster wa Mitheru katika mkutano wao wakila mwezi mnamo Agosti kumi na tatu, 2012.Sasa tupo katika utaratibu wa kujipanga kupatameko ya TIST zaidi ya kuokoa nishati. Tunatakakuiokoa miti yetu na kupikia katika mazingira safikutokana na moshi.Twajivunia tuliyokamilisha, na tunataka kuzidikufanya kazi pamoja ili kuyafikia mengine.Wacha Ukataji miti, Panda miti.Umeletewa na Joseph Gituma• Ukosefu wa faida nyinginezo za miti zakimazingira: miti hupunguza upepo, uhifadhiunyevu, huongeza hewa safi hewani, na huongezavirutubisho udongoni. Kwa hivyo bila miti hali yaanga ya mahali hapo itakuwa kavu zaidi nakuongeza hatari ya mafuriko, mmonyoko waudongo unaosababishwa na upepo, kupunguzwakwa rutuba ya udongo na kupunguzika kwa usafiwa hewa.Suluhisho la kuzuia ukataji wa miti1. Kama wakulima wa TIST twapaswa kuwa navitalu vya miti na kukuza miti ya kupanda katikamashamba ya kila mwanakikundi na kuuza mitikwa wanajamii. Twafaa kutia moyo wenginekupanda miti pia, na kujiunga na TIST!2. Tumia meko ya TIST ya kuokoa nishati, ambayohutumia kuni na makaa chache, na tutie moyowanajamii wengine kufanya vivyo hivyo.3. Tumia nishati badala inapowezekana (kwa mfano,joto la jua, machujo ya mbao, maganda ya kahawa,nyasi, magugu, mabaki ya mimea, taka zawanyama).4. Kujihusisha na shughuli za upandaji miti za jamii,san asana katika mashule, makanisa na karibu namito. Hili kweli litaongeza matokeo ya TIST!5. Utendaji na kuhimiza kilimo mseto na matumiziya mashamba madogo ya miti.TIST –Tufanyeni dunia yetu iwe kijani kibichi!2

Vikundi vidogo vya TIST vinafuraha kwa sababuya kufanikiwa katika mpango wa kulinda mitoambao ulianzishwa na TIST kusaidia kuhifadhina kulinda mito yetu. Kuna mito ishirini na nanekatika maeneo ya TIST ambayo yamechaguliwa kuwaya kwanza katika mpango huu and ambapowanaTIST wanafanya kazi kupanda miti ya kiasili,na kumaliza Mikaratusi. Wakulima wanachaguakuacha kulima karibu na mito ili kuachishammonyoko wa udongo na uchafuzi wa mto. Leo,tunafuraha kuripoti kuwa wanaTIST wenginewamejiunga na kupanda miti ya kiasili katika maeneoyao yaliyo karibu na mito na wanafuatilia mienendoiliyo mizuri kabisa katika maeneo kama hayawamepewa pesa za nyongeza kwa sababu ya kazina kujitolea kwao. Tunajivunia waliyofanya natunasherehekea kazi yao ya kuhifadhi mito ambayosote tunahitaji ili kuishi. Vikundi vidogo vitano,ambavyo vilipata nyongeza ya motisha kwa sababuya kazi yao katika kuhifadhi maeneo yanayozungukamito na kuyakomboa, vipo katika cluster ya Kianjagi.Hivi ni:1) Karujani S.H.G # 2007KE10122) Kajoroge Group # 2008KE3323) Gakeu T.P S.H.G # 2008KE12104) Wega # 2006KE10975) Mutindwa T # 2007KE625Tuliongea nao ili kusoma kutokana na uzoefu namfano wao.Nini faida ya miti ya kiasili katika maeneoyaliokaribu na mito(kando ya mito)?KISWAHILI VERSIONKuilinda mito yetu- kupanda miti ya kiasili na isiyoharibifu kwa maji.Umeletewa na Jeniffer KithureNi kwa nini ni muhimu kuhifadhi vizuizi vyamito?(a) Mimea na miti ktika kizuizi kando ya mitohuweka mazingira yakawa masafi na salamakwani rutuba ya udongo hubaki ilivyo mwakawote.(b) Mimea na miti kama kizuizi kando ya mitohupunguza magonjwa yanayotokana na majimachafu.(c) Kuongezeka kwa samaki katika mito kwasababu ya maji safi yasiyochafuka.Ni yapi mafanikio yenu? Ni ushauri upi mnaokwa majirani wenu walio kando ya mito?a) Tumefuzu kuwa memba wa mpango huu.b) Tumepata pesa zaidi kwa sababu ya hudumaza kimazingira (PES) kwa sababu ya kazi yetu.c) Tumemaliza Mikaratusi katika maeneo yaliyokaribu na mito.d) Tumeboresha usafi na wingi wa maji katika mitona vijito.e) Tunashauri majirani wetu kuwa wema kwawalio sehemu za chini za mto, na kulinda mtoili wengine pia wapate maji safi. Mashamba yaoya miti pia yatabaki salama kutokana nammomonyoko wa udongo watakapopanda mitina kufuatilia mienendo hii bora zaidi.3(a) Miti ya kiasili hupunguza mmomonyoko waudongo na mafuriko.(b) Miti ya kisili husaidia kusafisha maji katika mito,vijito na visima.(c) Mizizi ya miti ya kiasili hushika na kudumishaudongo(d) Miti ya kiasili husaidia kusafisha hewa.(e) Miti ya kiasili hutoa kivuli ambacho huzuiauvukizi wa maji.(f) Miti ya kiasili huwapa ndege, wanyama nawadudu makazi. Kuhifadhi hawa viumbe hai kwanjia hii kwaweza kufaidi mashamba yetu kwani,kwa mfano, wanyama wengine ni muhimukatika uchavushaji wa mimea na kudhibitiwadudu.Wanavikundi kutoka Cluster ya Kianjagiwakipewa vocha za malipo ya miti ya kiasili.

KISWAHILI VERSIONCluster ya Tandare: Tunakua kinguvu kila msimu.Umeletewa na David ThukuWakati cluster ya Tandare iliundwamwaka wa elfu mbilia na nane,wanacluster wengi hawakuelewa jinsiTIST inavyofanya kazi vizuri, na wengi hawakuwana motisha. Hata hivyo, baada ya mafunzo mengi,wanacluster wengine na wengine wakawa na shaukukatika TIST. Mafunzo kuhusu kilimo hai, meko, navitalu yalianzisha hamu na kuwachochea wakulima.Leo, katika Tandare, tuna vikundi vidogothelathini na sita. Vikundi vingi vimefuzu kuwezakulipwa.Tuna furaha kuripotu kuwa cluster ya Tandareimekuwa kwa mfululizo ikizungusha uongozi nazoezi ili linafanya kazi vizuri. Kila wakati kiongozimpya anapochaguliwa, mawazo mapya yanaletwa.Kwa mfano, viongozi wetu wa cluster kwa sasawamesaidia cluster kukua na kuanzisha kitalu chacluster na lengo la kuwa na miti laki tano ifikapodecemba mwaka wa 2013.Cluster ya Tandare ina vikundi vidogo thelathinina site, na vikundi sita vina vitalu. Wawakilishi wacluster wapya waliochaguliwa mwaka huu mweziwa tano waliingia na wazo la kukuza kitalu chacluster katika ardhi ya umma. Tulifanya kazi kufanyawazo ili halisi, na kukutana kila wiki siku na jumannekulifanyia kazi. Leo, kitalu cha cluster ya Tandarekina miti elfu arobaini. Tutafanya kazi kuwa na mitilaki tano na kuwa na miti zaidi ya laki mbiliiliyohesabiwa katika cluster yetu kabla ya Decembamwaka wa 2013.Cluster mpya inazaliwa- Cluster ya Mporokokatika mkoa wa Igembe. Wakulima wengiwamekuwa wakiuliza TIST kuenea hadimaeneo yao, na wakati wakulima wanajipanga nakuchukua hatua, TIST yaweza kuwasaidiakujiandikisha. TIST imefanya mikutano kadhaa yamafunzo katika eneo hili. Kupitia mchakato wakuomba kuingia katika TIST, wakulima wamefunzwayafuatayo:1. Taarifa ya msingi na Historia ya TISTWanacluster ya Tandare wanahudumia kitaluchao pale karibu na bwawa la Warero mnamotarehe saba, Agosti, 2012Tunaongozwa na mawazo ya wanaclustertunaochagua kutuongoza kama viongozi wakuzunguka na tunajivunia yale ambayo tumewezakufikia kwa kufanya kazi pamoja. Ni yapi mawazomakuu kutoka cluster yako ambayo wawezakugawana nasi?Wanacluster ya Tandare walipokuwa wakianzishakitalu chao cha cluster pale bwawa la Wareromnamo Aprili, 2012Mporoko –Cluster mpya yajiunga na TIST.Umeletewa na Joseph Gituma2. Mahitaji ya kustahiki kuwa katika kikundikidogo cha TIST3. Maadili ya TIST4. Kilimo haiSisi wanacluster ya Mporoko tunahamu yakuingia katika TIST. Tuko tayari kuwa sehemu ya jamiiinayoamini ukweli, uwazi, usahihi, uwajibikaji katiyetu, utumishi, kujitolea na kuwa mfano wa kuigwa.Tuko tayari kutumia mikono na vichwa vyetu, kupatamatokeo makubwa tukitumia gharama kidogo. NaTIST, sisi tutakua!4

KISWAHILI VERSIONSisi ni sahihi, Waaminifu, na Wawajibika kati yetuwenyewe: Vikundi vidogo hufanya jukumumuhimu katika kurekebisha data ya TIST.5Kupitia kufanya kazi pamoja katika TIST,tumeyafanya mambo makubwa sana. Leo,kuna zaidi ya miti milioni sita nukta nneinayokua kwa sababu ya kazi yetu. Tumefanikiwa nakusherehekea uthibitisho na ukaguzi wa kwanzadunia mzima chini ya viwango vya Verified CarbonMarket and Climate and Community, hivyo basiwakulima wengi kufuzu kuhusika katika soko la duniala kaboni. Tunapofanya kazi pamoja na kuzingatiamaadili ya TIST, tunapata mafanikio makubwa.Hata hivyo, ukaguzi wa mwisho ili kuthibitishwaulionyesha kuwa hatujayafuata maadili haya yaliyomuhimu katika kufanikiwa kwetu inavyofaa. Tulionauhesabu wa miti usio sahihi na shida nyinginezoambazo zaweza kuumiza TIST pakubwa. Tulionakuwa vikundi vingine vimelipiwa miti ambayohawajapanda. Tunapokuwa na shida kama hiziinaumiza wakulima wa TIST kwani kama data siosahihi, hatuwezi kuhusika katika soko la kaboni.Wanunuzi wanataka kununua kutoka kwa watuwanaoamini na ambao wanajua ni waaminifu.Tulifanya semina ya viongozi wa TIST, pamojana wawakilishi kutoka cluster zote za TIST, ilikujadiliana matokeo ya ukaguzi na uthibitisho nakuamua jinsi ambavyo tunaweza kufanya kazi ilikusahihisha shida tulizopata na kusonga mbeletukiwa na nguvu. Semina hiyo ilikuwa na matokeomengi muhimu:Ilibidi tuachishe malipo ya miti haditutakapokuwa na uhakika kuwa data kutokana nauhesabu wa miti ni ya kweli na sahihi. Tunawajibikakati yetu wenyewe, na vikundi vidogo vina jukumumuhimu katika kuhakikisha kuwa data tuliyonayoni ya kweli. Cluster zilizowakiliswha katika seminazinajaribu mwenendo mpya ulio bora zaidi:wawakilishi wa cluster na vikundi vidogo wanapitiaupya miti iliyohesabiwa katika kila shamba na kutumaujumbe wa kama data ni ya kweli au yahitajikusahihishwa. Wanapanga kukamilisha kazi hii kablaya mwisho wa mwezi wa tisa. Tutakapojua matokeokutokana na cluster hizi za kwanza, tutaweza kufanyampango wa kusonga mbele, na labda tutaipanuambinu hii katika cluster zingine. Wahesabu miti waTIST pia walichukua wajibu kwa sababu ya data hiina wanafanya kazi ili kusahihisha data ambayowanajua si ya ukweli kulingana na maadili ya TISTWakulima wa TIST katika semina hiyo walisemakuwa walielewa zaidi ya kabla ya semina jukumu lakila mtu katika kufanikisha TIST. Walijitolea kufanyawanavyoweza kusaidia kuhakikisha kuwa matokeoni sahihi. Walijitolea kusaidia TIST kufikia matokeomakubwa ambayo kila mtu ataona ili tuwe na mitimingine ikikua, miti iliyohesabiwa sahihi, na vikundivingine vinavyofuzu kuingia katikma soko la kaboni.WanaTIST walimaliza semina wakiwa wenyemotisha mpya na kujitolea kupya katika TIST.Tunatumaini kuwa kila mwanaTIST atachukuachangamoto na wajibu huu. Pamoja, twaweza kufikiamambo ya kuajabisha.Naweza kufanya nini ili kusaidia TISTkufanikiwa?- Hudhuria na ujihusishe na mikutano ya vikundividogo na cluster za TIST- Jua data katika mashamba yaliyohesabiwa mitikatika kikundi chako na ujuze viongozi wacluster yako kama hesabu ama mambomengineyo si sahihi.- Panda miti mingine, na uiache miti yako kukuana kuwa yenye afya.- Hakikisha kuwa kuna mtu kutoka kwa clusteryako anayefanya kazi na mhesabu miti wakatiwa kuhesabiwa.- Ambia majirani na marafiki wako kuhusu TISTna uwatie moyo watu wanafuatilia maadili yaTIST kujiunga na kazi yetu.- Jitolee kufuatilia maadili ya TIST wewemwenyewe katika kikundi chako na katikacluster yako.Maadili ya TIST;1. Sisi ni Waaminifu2. Sisi huwa sahihi3. Sisi ni wenye Uwazi4. Sisi ni mfano wa kuigwa5. Sisi ni watumishi kwa kila mmoja wetu6. Sisi ni wenye kujitolea7. Sisi ni wenye kuwajibika kati yetu wenyewe8. Sisi ni wa gharama nafuu, matokeo makubwa

Katika TIST, tunapata nguvu katika kuchukuahatua pamoja na kugawana mafanikio yetuna wengine katika vikundi vyetu vidogo,katika cluster zetu na kwingineko. Ripoti zamikutano ya mwezi ya cluster za matumizi ya pesaza cluster ni sehemu muhimu katika kufanikiwahuku. Kila cluster inawajibika kuwasilisha ripoti yamkutano wa cluster nay a matumizi ya pesa za clusterkila mwezi.Jinsi ya kuripoti bajeti na mikutano ya clusterkwa kutumia ujumbe mfupi wa simuTIST imekuwa ikitumia njia mpya, rahisi ya kutumiwana cluster kuripoti bajeti ya kila mwezi na kutumiarekondi za mikutano ya cluster kwa njia ya ujumbemfupi.Uwazi na uwajibikaji kati yetu ni maadili makuuya TIST. Kila cluster ya TIST inalazimika kuripotikuhusu inavyotumia bajeti ya mia tisa kupatamatokeo makubwa. Mbinu hii inaitikia mwanaTISTkutuma ujumbe mfupi kutoka simu yake hadinambari ya simu kuu. Ujumbe huu unachukuliwana kuchambuliwa na viongozi wa TIST. Kama clusterina kifaa cha Palm kinachofanya kazi, yafaakutumia fomu za mikutano ya cluster na zauwajibikaji katika Palm hizo.Hata hivyo, katika njia hii mpya, kila clusterinapaswa kuripoti sahihi na kwa ukweli kila mwezi.Njia hii inarahisisha kuripoti kwa wawakilishi wacluster na inasaidia viongozi wa TIST kusaidia katikashughuli za cluster.KISWAHILI VERSIONRipoti za cluster: Gawana mafanikio yenu ilikuongeza cluster yako na TIST nguvu.Kumbusho: Ili kufanikiwa, kila mwezi cluster yakoyafaa:1) Kuhudhuria mkutano wako wa cluster nakukumbusha vikundi vingine kuhudhuria. .2) Kupitia pamoja matokeo ambayo cluster yakoimefikia: miti mipya mliyopanda, vikundivilivyohesabiwa miti, na jinsi bajeti yakoilivyotumika na cluster. Fanya jambo ili liwesehemu ya mkutano wa cluster na wa kikundikidogo!3) Tuma ripoti za mikutano na uwajibikaji wa pesaza cluster kwa kutumia Palm au ujumbe mfupi.4) Pangia uhesabu miti na wahesabu miti.Hakikisha mtu kutoka cluster yako anasaidiakatika kila uhesabu!5) Karibisha marafiki na majirani wako kujiungana TIST katika mkutano ya cluster. Gawana naogazeti ili la Mazingira Bora na huwasaidie katikamchakato wa kuomba kujiunga na TIST6) Fikia ata matokeo makubwa zaidi! Panda miti,jenga au ununue jiko la kuokoa nishati, jaribukilimo hai.Kumbuka: cluster yenye nguvu yafaa kuwa na mitizaidi ya laki mbili iliyohesabiwa, vikundi vidogothelathini kufikia hamsini vilivyo hai na ambavyohukutana kila mwezi, viongozi wa kujitoleawaliochaguliwa na iwe inafanya na kuripoti kuhusumafunzo mazuri na uhesabu miti.Pamoja twaweza kufanya lolote!6Fursa ya kuuza mbegu za Croton.Soko jipya la Croton limejitokeza. Kampunimoja iliyo Naro Moru inanunua mbegu zaCroton ili kutengeneza diseli ya kutokana namimea ambayo yaweza kutumiwa kuendesha magarina ata mashine nyinginezo.Kampuni inayoitwa Eco Fuels Ltd inanunuambegu za croton kwa bei ya shilingi sita na sumnikila Kilo. Wakulima wanaokota mbegu hizi kutokakwa mashamba yao au misitu inayokaribia.Wakulima wengi wa TIST wanajua kuwa mtihuu wa Croton megalocarpus, Mti wa kiasili, huwanjia nzuri ya kupunguza upepo katika mashambayao. Soko ili jipya la mbegu za Croton ni faida mojaya kufikiria wakati unapochagua miti ya kukuza.Eco Fuels hupangia usafiri baada ya kuchukua mbeguhizi.Kujua mengi zaidi, pigiaCosmas Ochieng: 0725398675.Email: Cosmas@ecofuelskenya.com.www.ecofuelskenya.com
