Tanzania announced a carbon revenue-sharing framework at the Africa Carbon Markets Forum 2026 in Kigali. Under the split, resource owners receive 61% of earnings from forest carbon projects, project proponents get 31%, and the government takes 8%. The framework is meant to reduce disputes and make carbon trading transparent. Tanzania also reported progress: six projects have reached the credit generation stage, four were approved by the National Carbon Projects Assessment Committee, and four letters of authorization were signed for credits eligible for use outside Tanzania. The National Carbon Monitoring Centre handles registration, verification, and prevention of double counting. Tanzania targets a 30 to 35 percent cut in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 under the Paris Agreement. Officials said stronger legislation, including 2025 amendments to the Environmental Management Act, supports oversight. The government is also calling for a common African carbon market framework.
