Consideration of funding proposals – Addendum IV Funding proposal package for FP041

The Simiyu Climate Resilience Project is a proposed adaptation initiative in Tanzania's Simiyu Region. It seeks 102.7 million EUR in grant funding from the GCF, with a total investment of 143.4 million EUR, to address water scarcity and food insecurity caused by climate change. The project focuses on constructing a bulk water supply system from Lake Victoria, improving sanitation, and implementing climate-smart agriculture for approximately 495,000 beneficiaries.

• The project's total estimated cost is 143.4 million EUR, with the Government of Tanzania contributing 13.1 million EUR, KfW providing 26.1 million EUR in grant funding from the German Government, and local communities contributing 1.5 million EUR in cash and in-kind support.
• The project targets 495,000 direct beneficiaries, including 257,000 women, and 2.5 million indirect beneficiaries, aiming to improve their adaptive capacities in the Simiyu Region.
• A primary objective is to establish a bulk water supply system from Lake Victoria to provide reliable drinking water to 395,000 people in the Busega, Bariadi, and Itilima districts, as local groundwater is insufficient and often contaminated with fluoride.
• The project includes a sanitation component to benefit at least 300,000 people, featuring the construction of public toilets at schools and markets, vacuum trucks for sludge transport, and anaerobic pond treatment plants.
• Climate-smart agricultural interventions target 200,000 people through the construction of small earth and charco dams, drip irrigation, the provision of resilient seeds, and the expansion of Ngitili (traditional community-owned land management).
• The project aims to create a 'paradigm shift' by establishing a high-level Steering Committee to coordinate cross-sectoral climate adaptation and develop new rules and regulations based on lessons learned from the Simiyu Region as a role model.
• The project will implement an ICT platform on climate change to improve the generation and use of climate information for decision-making among experts, researchers, and extension officers.
• The project is designated as Environmental and Social Risk Category A due to the scale of infrastructure and the potential for involuntary resettlement affecting more than 200 people.
• Economic analysis indicates an Economic Internal Rate of Return (EIRR) of 10.9% for the water and sanitation component and 19% for the climate-smart agriculture component.
• The project utilizes a community-driven, demand-oriented approach where local communities propose measures and must provide upfront in-kind or cash contributions to ensure ownership.
