Kenya”, he added.Farmers were entertained by local cultural dancegroups. Kibaranyaki Cultural Dancers performed theTIST dance they had prepared. Kirinyaga TIST Clustersalso performed a TIST song.Trainings.Notably, farmers and leaders organized themselvesto receive trainings. There were 16 training stands. Thesestands were organized in regions where neighboringclusters were gathered to receive important trainingsENGLISH VERSIONand information materials. There was also an energyefficient jikos display and training stand, riparian andindigenous trees stand, and videos stand.The participants were requested to share theinformation they learned with other Small Groups intheir Clusters, and highlights are included in this issueVannesa led selected leaders and Uganda andTanzania TIST representatives amidst jubilations incutting of the cake.Later, we were treated to a delicious meal andthereafter, people left back to their homes.This celebration is for all of us in TIST Kenya, and forour TIST family around the world. Let us take homethe joy and pride of our achievements, and worktogether to achieve even bigger results in the days tocome. Recruit new Small Groups to your cluster. Plantmore trees to make your farms and rivers green andearn more carbon income. Use the training receivedto report your cluster’s successes and share bestpractices. If we all work together, we can achieve greatthings.2Ben Henneke, CAAC President plants atree at Gitoro Primary School, Meru.Gitoro Primary School pupils planting trees in the school coumpound.

ENGLISH VERSIONTIST Farmers to plant indigenous trees ingazetted forest areas3CAAC/ KFS MOU Signing: Clean Air Action Corporation (CAAC) president (right) receives a copy of MOU from KenyaForest Director (KFS) David Mbugua. Looking on is USAID-Kenya Mission Director Erna Krest.On 6th June 2011, TIST farmers witnessed the signingof a Memorandum of Understanding betweenClean Air Action Corporation (CAAC) and Kenya ForestService (KFS). This MoU will create a long-termpartnership between KFS and TIST farmers in plantingof indigenous trees in riparian and catchment areaswithin forest areas.The signing ceremony was held at KFSheadquarters, Karura Forest, Nairobi. Approximately 40TIST participants from Meru, Nanyuki, Kirinyaga, Mbeereand Mara attended the occasion. Ben and VannesaHenneke lead the TIST Team while KFS Director, DavidMbugua led the KFS Team. USAID, a major partner inTIST was well represented by USAID’s Kenya MissionDirector, Erna Kerst, and other USAID officials.In his address, David recognized the need to havecommunity partnerships and partnership in restoringcountry’s tree cover. He noted that currently, thecountry has a tree cover of less than 2% against theinternational recommended 10%. This, he said, is anenormous challenge that no single agency can achievealone. He therefore pointed out that partnership likethe one being witnessed on this day is the way to go. Inhis concluding remarks, he said, “ with TIST, we arepartners.”Erna appreciated continued TIST enthusiasm andeffort in serving more farmers and making them awareof the importance of environmental conservation. Shepraised TIST success in attaining the Verified CarbonStandard (VCS) and Climate Community BiodiversityAlliance (CCBA) standards. TIST is first in the world toreceive approval under those two standards at the sametime.Ben thanked KFS for getting this MOU signed. Heexplained that the MOU heralds a new and added focuswhere TIST farmers will directly participate in improvingforest areas near their farms. “ Many of our farmers innearby forest areas have little land. They have been unableto plant significant number of trees that would enablethem actively participate in carbon markets. This MOUopens an access for them to fully participate and haveaccess to the carbon business. Further, young peopleand some women, who have largely been discriminatedby land tenure issues, will have a chance to now planttrees and earn carbon income”, he added.Dorothy Naitore, a TIST trainer and LeadershipCouncil member, gave her address on behalf of TISTFarmers. She said that Farmers have been waiting forthis partnership for long. They are excited to see thispartnership move to implementation stage.The signing was met with jubilation and ululationsfrom TIST participants and other guests.Next Steps.TIST will be working with consultants and TISTservants including Small Group members to developForest Management plans which will operationalize thesigned MOU.TIST Farmers who are already in CommunityForest Associations (CFAs) are encouraged to give theiradvice and inputs towards development of FMPs bycontacting your Cluster Leaders

To TIST Founders and TIST Participants,Greetings!We are very glad that you have been able join otherTIST Founders from each of the TIST nations in Africaat our day ofCelebration!ENGLISH VERSIONMr.& Mrs. Ben Henneke’s message to TIST FarmersBen Henneke, President Clean Air ActionCorporation (CAAC)We arehonored tobe able to beamong you,and we wantto send ourgreetings toyour families,and to all theT I S TParticipantsthat you represent by being here.Today’s Celebration – “TIST Farmers: First InThe World” – recognizes the more than 10 years ofefforts by TIST Farmers to improve their localenvironment and their families’ lives, while also benefitingtheir neighbors and the entire globe. We are specificallycelebrating the “First In The World” Validation andVerification of TIST Carbon Credits under both theClimate, Community and Biodiversity Alliance, and theVerified Carbon Standard.We are also celebrating the wonderful growth ofTIST throughout the world. TIST has its roots in thesoil of Tanzania, and then has been transplanted to India,Uganda, Kenya, and now Central America. TIST’s growthhas not just been in new cutries, or jusin increasing size.TIST has grown in the many ways that TIST Farmerswork to improve the results and the scope of the TISTProgram itself. In every country, TIST Farmers haveTIST Farmers and leaders organized themselves toreceive trainings during the celebrations. These Trainingsincluded:How to qualify for future Carbon Market Sales(Information Quality)TIST Trainers explained to celebration participants thatnot all TIST groves are currently eligible for the sale ofCarbon Credits They explained that this is different thanbeing eligible for the TIST tree payment. Good quality,complete data from quantification is needed for carbonsales that keep TIST running and pay for tree paymentsand TIST growth. Trainers explained that groves mayneed to have a second GPS track taken, may be missinga GHG contract, or may be missing baseline information.Cluster Representatives and Area Coordinators (seearticle below) will be working to improve this situationdecided to plant trees, to take action to topdeforestation, to take action to improve agriculture, totake action to improve streams and rivers, to take actionto improve biodiversity, to take action to reducepollution, to take action to improve their communitiesand to take action to improve the health of their families.Today we take time to look backward and we alsolook forward. 10 years ago there were about 400 TISTFarmers – today there are over 60,000! Today wecelebrate creating a new ‘cash crop’ for smallholderfarmers from isolated locations – TIST carbon credits.Today, we thank the many people and organizations whohave helped TIST along the way, and who are helping usstill. Today, we especially thank all the TIST Farmerswho have volunteered as Trainers and Quantifiers, manyof whom are here today to celebrate. They will be evenmore important in the next 10 years!Today we mark the beginning of the next 10 years.Today we join together to start to bring the benefits ofTIST to thousands, even millions, of farmers who willwant to join TIST. Today we jointly pledge to “do ourlevel best” to keep TIST growing and improving – andworkingtogether tobring TIST tosmallholderfarmerseverywhere.ManyThanks forComing toCelebrate!Vannesa Henneke, Director, Institutes forEnvironmental Innovation (I4EI)TIST Farmers and Leaders receive Trainings during Celebrations.so that all groves can qualify for future Carbon Sales byDecember 31, 2011.How to report Cluster Budget and ClusterMeetings using SMSTransparency and mutual accountability is key values ofTIST, and each TIST cluster must report how it spendsits 900/= cluster budget to achieve big results. TIST hasdeveloped a new and easier way for Clusters to reporttheir monthly budget use their Cluster Meeting Recordsusing SMS. This new approach allows a TIST memberto send an SMS from their phone to a central phonenumber. SMS messages will be collected and analyzedby TIST staff. If a cluster has access to a working Palm,they should use the Cluster Meeting and AccountingForms on the Palms. However, with this new method,4

every cluster should report every month. This approachwill simplify reporting for Cluster Representatives andhelp TIST staff support Cluster activities. For moreinformation on SMS reporting, contact your ClusterRepresentatives or your Area Coordinator (see articlebelow).Conservation FarmingParticipants viewed examples of conservation farmingtechniques and asked questions of TIST Master Trainers.Conservation farming can improve crop yield even indrought, reduce erosion, reduce cost through use oforganic manure, improve soil quality, and lead to lesslabor. For more information on CF, contact your ClusterRepresentatives or local Trainer.Fuel-Efficient Stove JikosParticipants viewed varied TIST jikos, including self-builtmodels and manufactured stoves. Fuel-efficient stovesreduce smoke in the home to protect your family, reduceyour expenses on fuel wood, and reduce the amountof time spent gathering wood. TIST members can buya jiko directly through TIST or take part in the Helpedto Help Program. There are different stove modelsavailable so you can choose the one that works bestENGLISH VERSIONfor your family. See photos and prices below. In Helpedto Help, participants who agree to monitor their fuelusage, and to buy stoves for cluster members fromsavings from fuel wood, may receive a jiko at no cost.For more information, or to buy a TIST jiko, ask yourcluster representatives to contact Dorothy Naitore at0726788662.Riparian Payment for Environmental Services(PES) Pilot ProgramCelebration participants learned about TIST’s pilotriparian program, that provides an extra incentive of 1ksh per indigenous tree per year in a qualifying ripariangrove and 0.3 ksh per indigenous seedling per year in anursery if the group has a qualifying riparian grove. Thepilot project presently includes Sirimon, Burguret, Tigithi,Kinyaritha, Mariara, Mara, Thanatu, Muruku, Kirugwa,Nyamidi, and Gakuru Rivers. Groves must be within100 meters of a river, have at least 30% indigenous trees,no more than 5% eucalyptus, no eucalyptus within 100meters of the river, and no cultivation within 30 metersof the river. Contact Jeniffer Kithure at 0726319539for more information.

Beginning in July, 2011, TIST will introduce a new,temporary service structure. This is meant to helpClusters move towards self-governance and low-cost,high-quality service. The sooner we have good data sowe can have more cash sales, and the lower we canmake costs, the sooner we will be profitable so that70% of carbon profits can come to TIST farmers.The new structure involves 19 “Area Coordinatorsand Co Coordinators” who will help Clusters to:• Improve grove data quality so more groves areeligible for carbon market sales.• Help Clusters to learn the new SMS accountingand Cluster meeting reporting systems.• Assist Clusters to hold democratic elections, if theyare not already doing this, to choose Leader, Co-Leader, and Accountability Person.• Help Clusters to learn how to organize their ownquantification and training.• Make sure that Cluster Meetings are happeningevery month, and TIST members are attendingTeach Clusters to manage their 900 ksh/monthbudgets.• Ensure that Clusters are able to distributepayments to Small Group members themselves.Area Coordinators will work with Quantifiers andTrainers for their area to coordinate quantification andtrainings needs. As part of this new system, QuantifiersENGLISH VERSIONNew Service structure: Another new level towards prosperity.will no longer work in pairs; instead, one quantifier willbe assisted by the Cluster Accountability Person oranother person chosen by the cluster to completequantification work. This will allow Clusters to have ahand in their own success and money earningopportunities. Area Coordinators will work untilDecember 2011 to move Clusters towards selfsufficiencyand improved data quality for the CarbonMarket.We all need to work together to achieve this goal.Come to cluster meetings, and encourage Small Groupsin your cluster to attend. Organize with your clusterrepresentatives and quantifiers to make sure yourquantifications are complete and accurate. Know howmany trees you have planted, and make sure that thecounts for your group are accurate. Plant more treesto help your cluster achieve its goal and to help TISTgrow.How is your cluster doing?The list below shows how many trees have beenquantified in each cluster and how many of these treeshave good, complete data required for carbon sales.Remember, our goal is for each cluster to have at least250,000 quantified trees, and 100% of trees qualifyingfor carbon sales.6Cluster Total Carbon % TreesName Trees market eligibleeligibleTreesAguthi 13,451 5,822 43%Antubochiu 3,400 865 25%Barangu 28,718 22,954 80%Burgret 636 636 100%Burguret 48,594 16,749 34%Chugu 262 0 0%Chung’ari 42,551 14,987 35%Ciakanyinga 17,887 6,629 37%Gachua 46,913 9,457 20%Gaturiri 15,619 14,535 93%Giaki 48,825 14,222 29%Gikumene 63,864 8,413 13%Githongo 43,051 6,739 16%Gitimene 137,666 54,498 40%Ichuga 91,221 27,154 30%Igwanjau 22,145 9,121 41%Itangini 34,634 28,752 83%Kaaga 609,968 512,667 84%Kagaene 66,428 40,780 61%Kahuho 7,830 3,429 44%Kairuni 66,656 46,886 70%Kambiti 27,824 5,761 21%Kamuthanga 4,026 1,526 38%Kanjagi 19,925 11,520 58%Kanjoo 26,753 6,003 22%Kanyakine 21,487 0 0%Karaba 16,764 5,980 36%Karoki 31,397 21,412 68%Karudas 18,960 6,805 36%Karumande 849 0 0%Karurune 28,437 0 0%Katheri 68,870 8,447 12%Kathwene 2,031 2,031 100%Kawiru MCK 615 0 0%Kiahuko 6,416 2,288 36%Kiamariga 29,695 20,075 68%Kiamathaga 43,628 34,661 79%Kiamiogo 59,103 8,880 15%Kiangwa 10,025 2,870 29%Kianjagi 49,915 21,542 43%Cluster Total Carbon % TreesName Trees market eligibleeligibleTreesKianyaga 3,455 0 0%Kibirichia 87,423 47,512 54%Kibui 31,368 8,293 26%Kibuline 6,344 3,193 50%Kigucwa 373,378 293,636 79%Kiirua 72,812 16,290 22%Kimahuri 50,134 31,425 63%Kiria 259,612 198,726 77%Kirimaitume 21,435 7,381 34%Kirindini 82,914 49,927 60%Kisima 119,402 60,853 51%Kitheo 22,629 16,553 73%Kithoka 44,942 8,807 20%Kithurine 10,987 7,762 71%Limoro 10,116 4,868 48%Mairo Nne 1,078 0 0%Male 36,762 16,500 45%Manyatta 37,799 27,906 74%Maritati 28,727 0 0%Matakiri 9,137 3,466 38%Matanya 23,110 10,054 44%Mbajone 19,164 12,525 65%Mbiriri 14,301 10,344 72%Miamoja 24,553 11,789 48%Miathene 56,160 44,533 79%Mikunduri 38,571 24,915 65%Mitheru 50,984 34,798 68%Mithuri 11,843 1,992 17%Mituntu 10,008 910 9%Mpuri 37,294 7,097 19%Muhonia 6,272 2,694 43%Murinya 48,570 8,584 18%Muriru 19,731 13,940 71%Muruku Pesi 30,752 8,179 27%Murungai 32,074 14,652 46%Mururune 36,687 17,064 47%Muruta 4,058 1,892 47%Muthambi 52,441 31,917 61%Mwea 5,276 646 12%Mweiga 15,913 12,330 77%Cluster Total Carbon % TreesName Trees market eligibleeligibleTreesMwichiune 28,751 13,390 47%Mworoga 33,280 23,534 71%Naari 54,589 2,945 5%Nchiru 47,923 28,345 59%Ngare ndare 87 0 0%Ngariama 15,138 13,649 90%Ngiine 28,129 15,676 56%Njorua 3,491 44 1%Njukiini 13,963 11,495 82%Nkando 26,117 4,349 17%Nkondi 8,709 5,840 67%Nthangathi 22,088 11,307 51%Ntrukuma 26,809 24,866 93%Ntugi 74,159 32,276 44%Ntumburi 9,124 1,779 19%Nyakinyua 847 0 0%Nyweri 48,518 5,139 11%Ontilili 42,425 18,160 43%Pondo 18,503 6,873 37%Raichiri Podo 62,626 12,869 21%Ruiri 12,183 1,704 14%Runyenye 25,649 9,068 35%Salama 10,884 4,021 37%Subuiga 55,776 33,108 59%Sweet Water 47,450 23,412 49%Tandare 12,407 8,759 71%Tharu 3,114 1,653 53%Thiira 14,865 2,110 14%Thome 29,620 17,036 58%Thungari 13,653 9,679 71%Thuura 54,846 16,462 30%Tunyai 5,455 4,395 81%Wamura 21 21 100%Warazo Jet 20,562 10,120 49%Wendo 882 882 100%Weruini 16,125 5,232 32%Wiumiririe 8,423 4,501 53%Cluster Goal 250,000 250,000 100%
