National SLCP Plan  

• Madagascar is a CCAC Partner since 2024. Through the development of Madagascar’s first national short-lived climate pollutant (SLCP) action plan, this project is expected to strengthen the institutional capacity of multiple government authorities, affiliated agencies and key private stakeholders to drive SLCP mitigation action.

National Methane Roadmap  

• This project will support the Government of Madagascar to develop a National Methane Roadmap. National Methane Roadmaps leverage emerging data and techniques to enhance emissions inventories, identify compelling abatement strategies, and define methane related policies, programs, and funding streams for implementation.

Funding Information

• Estimated project cost: $100,000

Duration

• Project duration is less than 24 months.
