The Integrated Rurban Development and Climate Resilience Project (IRDCRP), in collaboration with the World Bank and the Global Methane Reduction Platform for Development (CH4D), successfully conducted a two-day technical workshop on ๐ญ๐ฑโ๐ญ๐ฒ ๐๐๐ป๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฒ at the World Bank Office, One Galle Face Tower, Colombo, to review and refine the proposed ๐ฅ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ ๐ฒ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ฒ ๐ ๐ผ๐ป๐ถ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐๐ฎ๐น๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป (๐ &๐) ๐ ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ถ๐๐บ for Sri Lanka.
The workshop brought together representatives from key government institutions, project counterparts, technical experts, and the World Bank team to examine a comprehensive framework for monitoring greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from paddy cultivation and assessing the impact of methane-reducing agricultural practices. Discussions focused on Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD), Direct Seeded Rice (DSR), improved nutrient management, residue management practices, baseline development, sampling methodologies, monitoring units, data requirements, quality assurance procedures, and policy considerations related to Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) systems.
As part of this initiative, ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฏ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐บ has been engaged to support the design and validation of a harmonized Results Framework for rice methane mitigation aligned with the IRDCRP Project Appraisal Document. The assignment includes developing a robust M&E architecture, establishing a GHG accounting and quantification framework consistent with IPCC guidance, designing baseline survey instruments and sampling strategies.
The workshop also featured demonstrations of GHG quantification tools and provided practical guidance on data collection, reporting, validation, and system governance. Capacity-building sessions were conducted to strengthen the technical capabilities of government counterparts and support the operational deployment of the monitoring system.
This initiative represents a significant step toward establishing a scientifically robust and internationally aligned framework for measuring methane emission reductions in Sri Lankaโs rice sector, while supporting the country's climate resilience, sustainable agriculture, and greenhouse gas mitigation objectives.
