The National Carbon Monitoring Centre (NCMC) actively participated in a significant milestone event by contributing to the launch of the National Bamboo Strategy and Action Plan in Dar es Salaam on Monday, February 19, 2024. During the event, NCMC representative specifically addressed the processes, criteria, and requirements for carbon credit projects in Tanzania. NCMC representative emphasized the overlooked potential of bamboo for generating carbon credits in Tanzania. He highlighted bamboo’s rapid growth rate, which allows for significant carbon removal in a relatively short timeframe compared to other tree species. This means that the majority of carbon benefits from bamboo cultivation can be realized within ten years after planting.

Tanzania’s launch of a National Bamboo Strategy and Action Plan marks a significant step towards harnessing the potential of bamboo as a sustainable resource and an avenue for climate action. Bamboo, with its rapid growth rate and versatility, offers a multitude of environmental and economic benefits, including carbon sequestration, soil erosion prevention, and livelihood diversification.
