Government Support
We run an Article 6 recognition pathway so your authorized activities are documented and reported on time in the BTR. Funded by traders and donors. No cost to government. Optional, restricted, milestone-linked administrative support can be included in the MoU to resource compilation and coordination—never for policy decisions. Funds flow only to the designated institutional account under national PFM rules.
LoA → CA → AEF → BTRSovereign-first, evidence-led
We supply the operational rails and documentation so your DNA/Competent Authority can move from authorization to publication on time.
- Authorization & adjustment: Issue LoAs with an authorization log; record first transfer and prepare the corresponding-adjustment with parity tables.
- ETF reporting: Compile the Initial Report and Article 6 Annual Information on your national calendar.
- BTR pack & operations: Assemble the §23(j) Regular Information and structured summary; run the shared schedule, registry events, and an evidence vault.
Why partner with BTR Prime
The critical path is sovereign process: authorization, first transfer, corresponding adjustment, and timely ETF reporting. We align developers and buyers to your national calendar and supply country-fit templates so eligible tonnes are recognized on time—without burdening ministry budgets.
What your ministry receives
- LoA toolkits (country-fit legal/technical templates) and filing support.
- Registry mapping of authorization → first transfer → CA → use/cancellation.
- Initial Report (IR) compiler aligned to Decision 2/CMA.3 Annex ¶18 (and per-approach ¶19).
- Annual Information (AEF) compiler with parity checks (host ↔ acquiring Party) ahead of BTR.
- Regular Information (§23(j)) — Annex to BTR (incl. structured summary) builder generated from LoA + AEF rows.
- Submission-ready evidence packs (LoA, IR, AEF, §23(j)) with citations and cross-references.
- Coordinated developer pipelines sequenced to your BTR window and MRV requirements.
- Integrity & compliance practices aligned with Articles 6 & 13 (ETF).
- Scope boundary: support covers templates, compilers, and evidence management for LoA → CA → AEF → BTR; it excludes policy advice and decision-making.
Administrative support (optional, milestone-linked)
Where appropriate, a restricted administrative support facility can be included in the MoU—funded by traders/donors—to resource ministry work such as compiling IR/AEF entries, organizing §23(j) annex material, and scheduling reviews. Disbursements are milestone-linked and evidence-based; they are not contingent on specific authorization outcomes.
| Gate | Definition (evidence) |
|---|---|
| IR confirmation | IR elements confirmed for the cooperative approach (LoA links recorded). |
| §23(j) pre-TER clean | Annex draft clean + AEF/CA parity memo (host ↔ acquiring Party). |
| BTR drafting scheduled | Article 6 sections queued for the upcoming BTR window. |
| BTR published | Publication / registry event logged confirming volumes. |
Safeguards & audit
- Evidence-first releases: verification requires dated files (LoA refs, IR/AEF/§23(j) drafts, publication links).
- Escrowed funds: releases occur only when gates are verified; unreleased balances remain in escrow or roll forward.
- Early-warning tracker: schedule deltas, risk flags, and escalation paths visible to the ministry.
- Sovereign guardrail: we enable recognition and reporting; we do not promise policy outcomes. Decisions remain sovereign.
- No personal payments: funds never flow to individuals, advisors, or decision-makers.
- PFM & procurement compliance: all flows follow national public financial management and procurement rules.
- Public transparency: aggregate amounts and milestones can be disclosed in an annex or public dashboard, as agreed.
- Conflict-of-interest controls: partner staff and validators operate under impartiality and independence requirements.
Delivery calendar
Getting started (3 steps)
- Orientation call: confirm country scope, DNA focal points, BTR cadence, first-transfer rule, and CA method (averaging or multi-year).
- One-page MoU: milestones, optional restricted administrative support (scope, account, and evidence), and compliance guardrails (PFM, no personal payments, disclosure).
- Kick-off: adopt templates, publish initial schedule on the shared dashboard, and enable IR/AEF/§23(j) compilers.
