Strategic framework 2026–2030

Eight pillars for green growth

Each pillar runs four instruments: research & policy, project preparation, implementation & TA, and training & certification.

Climate Change & Carbon Credit

Nigeria’s forests, mangroves and cookstove/renewables potential are valuable — communities need honest, community-side technical support.

  • Community Carbon Readiness Service (free advisory, benefit-sharing review, FPIC)
  • Carbon project development support (REDD+, mangrove/blue carbon, cookstoves, renewables)
  • Regulatory navigation with NCCC and Article 6 pathways
  • MRV and digital infrastructure
  • Benefit sharing and annual public Carbon Integrity Review

Integrity: No commission or equity on advised projects. We decline work without genuine FPIC.

Working with and alongside national and international green-growth partners

Agencies such as NCCC, REA and NESREA work upstream with government. GreenTech positions itself downstream — as implementing partner, pipeline feeder, workforce supplier and local knowledge partner. Cooperation is an intended pathway, not an asserted existing partnership.
