Sangha Tri-National Trust Fund (FTNS) designed the project to put in place a carbon fund which will contribute to the sustainable management of community forests surrounded TNS national parks through a mechanism based on payment of carbon credits sold in the voluntary carbon market. The implementation of the project includes support to community to adopt best agricultural practice and reduce deforestation, quantification of carbon stocks to generate by community based on their effort towards forest conservation and certification of carbon to generate by an international standard operating in the voluntary market of payment for environmental service (PES).

The mechanism is innovative in the region and to keep a participative approach as required by international standard, it needs a lot of capacity building and communication that may affect the initial timeframe for project implementation. Collaboration with national authorities while implementing the project within an unclear legal framework is crucial and sometime required much works than expected.
