Tanzania: Ecosystem-based Adaptation 2017-2024

The United Republic of Tanzania, located in Eastern Africa, sits between 6 landlocked countries that rely on Tanzania as the most efficient point for the passage of goods and trade. Despite the country’s rich natural resources and strategic geographic position, Tanzania is one of the world’s Least Developed Countries (LDCs). Tanzania’s economy remains dependent on the largely rainfed, climate-vulnerable agricultural sector, which employs about 65% of the workforce. This project is aiming to increase the resilience to climate change in rural communities of Tanzania through nature-based solutions, strengthening ecosystem resilience and diversifying livelihoods.
