Naandi Foundation and the Livelihoods Fund are taking an important step to develop and implement a landscape project in the Araku Valley. The project includes the restoration of coffee tree plantations, agroforestry systems, and reforestation of barren hilltops. New units for the fabrication of organic compost will be created to supply the quantity and the quality necessary for organic fertilizer. Nine million trees will be planted over 18,000 hectares. The project will have a significant climate impact, storing 2.3 million tons of CO2 equivalent in trees and soil over the 20 year period of the project. UNIQUE is supporting this long-term project by developing and maintaining a holistic monitoring and reporting system for all activities and establishing standard monitoring reporting and verification structures for successful carbon certification.

• Support of the project activity design.
• Development and maintenance of a project based management information system.
• Development and support for a digital activity based monitoring system.
