Tuiwezeshe Pwani Yetu Programme - Promoting Resilient Coastal Communities and Local Economies in Tanzania

About this project

<p>Climate change is affecting businesses and the livelihoods of coastal local communities which are already among the poorest in the country, and contribute to the deterioration of the coastal ecosystems of Tanzania. Prominent environmental challenges include floods, sea-level rise, coastal erosion, saltwater intrusion, fresh water scarcity, pollution and land use/cover changes, with an inadequate adaptive capacity of rural communities and of urban centres to the impacts of climate change. In that context, communities living in islands and coastal areas, including urban centres, need to access opportunities for jobs and more sustainable income generating activities, in coastal and marine economic sectors such as fisheries/mariculture, tourism, renewable energy, forestry, and other agricultural value chains. Therefore, the importance of fostering adaptive capacities and resilience of the coastal communities is crucial and worth pursuing</p>
