Abstract: The main objective of this study is to assist the seven member countries of the Eastern African Alliance on Carbon Markets and Climate Finance (EAA) in considering and prioritising mitigation technologies and project activities on the path to the operationalisation of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. The study encompasses seven countries, namely Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda. The prioritisation of mitigation technologies or activities could assist countries in developing technology â??positive listsâ?, which may be used in respective Article 6 Frameworks. Ultimately, the aim is to promote the adoption of sustainable and low-carbon technologies that can mitigate GHG emissions, support the transition to a green economy, and achieve the regionâ??s sustainable development objectives.
