About this project

The RESTORE project strengthens the resilience and adaptation of pastoral communities in Tanzania to climate change by enhancing the awareness and human and institutional capacities of local actors and promoting adaptation and mitigation actions in line with Sustainable Development Goals 7, 13, and 15. The intervention area in the Longido district (Arusha region) is a high-biodiversity area located in the ecological corridor between the Amboseli and Natron ecosystems, on the border with Kenya.

The food security of the local communities, among the poorest in Tanzania, depends on pastoralism and is severely threatened by the loss of pasture productivity.

The main focus is environmental support, with an integrated approach that promotes gender equality, participatory development, and disaster risk reduction, in line with OECD/DAC policy priorities.
