TANZANIA

Tanzania's National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process, coordinated by the Vice President’s Office - Division of Environment, aims to integrate climate impact data into decision-making, align priorities with the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), and improve access to climate finance. The process focuses on cross-sectoral coordination and participatory planning to increase resilience and meet Paris Agreement targets. Priority sectors for adaptation include agriculture, health, freshwater resources, and the coastal and marine environment, addressing impacts such as droughts, floods, and sea level rise. Key milestones from 2012 to 2018 include the National Climate Change Strategy, the formation of a multi-agency NAP Team, and a stocktaking exercise for mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar.

• The NAP process in Tanzania is managed by the Vice President’s Office - Division of Environment and is designed to increase resilience while achieving NDC adaptation targets under the Paris Agreement. Its core objectives include integrating climate vulnerability information into decision-making, aligning priorities with the updated NDC, and facilitating access to climate finance.
• Tanzania has identified several priority sectors for adaptation to address specific climate impacts: agriculture (declining crop yields), health (increase in vector and waterborne diseases), freshwater resources (inadequate water availability), and the coastal and marine environment (sea level rise and salt water intrusion). Other priority sectors include livestock, energy, industry, infrastructure and human settlement, and wetlands and forestry.
• The NAP process has progressed through several milestones between 2012 and 2018, including the 2014 National Climate Change Strategy, the 2016 Zanzibar Climate Change Strategy, the formation of a multi-agency National Adaptation Plan Team, and a 2017/2018 stocktaking exercise to identify information gaps and needs for the enabling environment in Zanzibar and mainland Tanzania.
