The project targets the Kilombero district on mainland Tanzania and the North A/North B districts on Zanzibar to address forest and wetland degradation driven by agricultural expansion, specifically rice production. It proposes a cross-sectoral approach combining integrated landscape management, the development of sustainable rice supply chains, and natural ecosystem restoration. The project aims to restore 120,000 hectares of land and mitigate 10 million metric tons of CO2e, with a total project cost of approximately $67.26 million, including GEF financing and significant co-financing from the Tanzanian government and international partners.

• The project targets two primary landscapes: the Kilombero district in mainland Tanzania (1,356,130 ha) and the North A/North B districts on Zanzibar, known as the Unguja landscape (43,100 ha).
• Rice production in Tanzania more than tripled between 2004 and 2015, leading to threats against wetlands and high conservation value areas as the sector grows at over 7% per year.
• The project aims to achieve several core environmental targets, including the restoration of 120,000 hectares of land and the mitigation of 10,000,000 metric tons of CO2e.
• The project is structured around four components: development of integrated landscape management (ILM) systems, promotion of sustainable food production and responsible value chains, conservation and restoration of natural habitats, and project coordination and M&E.
• The total project cost is estimated at $67,264,681, consisting of $7,368,808 in GEF Trust Fund financing and $59,895,873 in co-financing.
• In the Kilombero Valley, at least 60% of the wetland area has already been converted to cultivated land, and the area faces threats from commercial rice agriculture expansion under the Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor (SAGCOT).
• The Unguja landscape on Zanzibar is characterized by the conversion of coral rag forests for food crop production, which has led to high levels of land degradation and threatens the island's major aquifer systems.
• The project intends to benefit 23,220 direct beneficiaries, split nearly equally between 11,694 males and 11,526 females.
