When it comes to these tools, we need to empower countries like Rwanda so they can be players and managers in the carbon market, not just providers of credits.”

Being able to build momentum, seek advice and have the support of the Lab was a really exciting opportunity. This has been such a helpful program, and we are excited to be taking things forward with The Fund for Nature. As Lab alumni, we are excited to continue engaging with and contributing to the community.”

Germany has been supporting the Lab since its beginning, and we have witnessed an impressive growing complexity of the projects the Lab moves forward. It reinforces the truly innovative nature of the Lab as it embraces the most difficult sectors where barriers for private finance are higher.”
