The lifecycle of a successful project consists of several phases, whereby each phase requires its own specific knowledge and skills. It is very difficult for a NGO or any other organization to accommodate all that knowledge and skills.

It requires concerted effort of a great number of stakeholders – developmental workers, carbon project developers, finance institutions, carbon specialists, community based organisations, non-governmental organisations, governmental institutions and others. In other words: organisations need to work together.

The network brings together all parties that are crucial for a carbon project.

The network will meet at regular intervals to offer ideas, support and solidarity to each other. At the meetings, the members will explore carbon possibilities and try to identify potential projects. Once this is successfully done, relevant network partners can take this initiative forward by forming a specific coalition around this project. This coalition can then design and subsequently implement the project.
