Participation

Know the pathway. Keep the reward logic protected.

AEC is designed to recognise verified contribution, not registration alone. Participants are assessed through the applicable identity, activity, evidence and governance controls. Public pages do not publish reward quantities, tier thresholds or classification cut-offs.

Eligible activity families

Participation is evidence-led, not band-led.

The categories below describe the kinds of activity AEC may recognise. They are not promises of issuance and do not disclose internal quantities or thresholds.

P
Production & supply

Responsible producers and suppliers

Verified production, delivery, quality, traceability and sustainability-linked participation across approved value chains.

What evidence may matter?

Identity and organisation records, farm/site data, delivery or production events, quality evidence and applicable compliance records.

B
Buyers & brands

Brands, customers and product buyers

Verified commercial participation that supports responsible sourcing, market access and traceable value-chain activity.

What evidence may matter?

Approved customer identity, eligible transaction records, payment evidence, product/order references and programme eligibility checks.

C
Community & tourism

Hosts, guides and community participants

Verified community, tourism and service activities that contribute to responsible local participation and shared value.

What evidence may matter?

Registered participant profile, approved activity record, completion evidence, consent and programme-specific verification.

R
Research & learning

Researchers, institutions and learning contributors

Accepted research, learning and knowledge contributions that strengthen evidence, innovation and responsible practice.

What evidence may matter?

Approved profile, submission record, review outcome, provenance, acceptance status and any required ethics or institutional approval.

S
Sustainability & impact

Verified sustainability contribution

Evidence-backed environmental and social contribution where the applicable methodology, additionality and verification conditions are met.

What evidence may matter?

Methodology, geospatial or operational evidence, measurement records, anti-double-counting controls and independent verification where required.

E
Ecosystem participation

Partners, staff and approved organisations

Governed participation that materially supports the AfriEuro Links ecosystem and meets the applicable programme rules.

What evidence may matter?

Verified relationship, role, good-standing status, approved contribution record and authorised programme decision.

Classification integrity

The system determines the applicable class from verified facts.

Participants do not choose the reward band

Where participant or activity classification is relevant, the operating system derives it from approved profile, location, organisation, transaction and evidence records. A person cannot simply choose the class that gives the most favourable outcome.

Several farms or sites remain one governed identity

A farmer may operate multiple distant farms and an organisation may have several sites. AfriEuro's location and identity fabric links those records to the correct person or organisation, helping reduce artificial fragmentation and duplicate reward claims.

Underlying events remain authoritative

Registration, attendance or a self-declared claim is not enough. The source delivery, sale, production, research, tourism or verified impact event must exist and satisfy current programme requirements.

Rules may evolve without becoming a public gaming guide

Internal coefficients and thresholds can be reviewed, versioned and approved through governance. The public site communicates the purpose, categories and safeguards while operational logic remains protected.

Secure participation

Private eligibility belongs in the operating system.

Identity documents, KYC/KYB, balances, reward decisions, dispute records and internal rules are not exposed on this public website.
