We blend African conservation experience with disciplined execution and modern technology. Backed by Techstars (Paris ’22) and Holocene, we have evolved from an NGO into a mission-driven, bankable project developer that delivers financial value, climate impact, and economic opportunity across Africa.
Iroko Analytics finds and develops sub-Saharan Africa’s top reforestation sites. We build high-integrity Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation (ARR) projects with experienced local partners and public counterparts to deliver the highest impact at the lowest risk.
We treat ARR like infrastructure, not craftwork: standardized, auditable, built for scale, and bankable from day one. This delivers carbon finance that restores biodiversity, improves livelihoods, and keeps more value in Africa at lower cost and on shorter timelines.
Our mission for 2035: to restore 1 million hectares of Africa’s native forests, offsetting 10 million tCO₂ per year.
The voluntary carbon market faces a supply crunch: over 1 billion credits needed by 2030, with current supply at 20%. Africa could help close the gap, yet less than 1% of suitable land is being reforested and the continent receives less than 5% of climate finance.
Carbon buyers need confidence in three things: Delivery (credits actually issued), Co-benefits (measurable gains for livelihoods and biodiversity), and Proof (independent verification and transparent reporting). When these are designed in and evidenced early, projects become bankable.
Financiers also see projects that are expensive, slow, and context-bound. Our infrastructure approach - aggressive standardization, clear specialization, and rigorous knowledge and project-management reduces cost, time, and risk, so that our projects become a repeatable, auditable process that scales without compromising integrity.
We put data at the heart of our process, selecting sites with demonstrated legality, security, ecological potential, and community readiness.
We then co-develop these projects with experienced local partners, streamlining the process to rapidly scale access to both project finance and customers. Local partners and communities receive up to 80% of credits.
The result transforms project development from a context-dependent, artisanal effort to a scalable, engineered process, with massive benefits for all stakeholders.
