The project aims to build climate resilience for approximately 1.28 million people in Tanzania's Kigoma region, specifically targeting refugees in the Nduta and Nyarugusu camps and their host communities. It employs an integrated landscape approach to address environmental degradation, food insecurity, and water scarcity caused by rising temperatures and erratic rainfall. Key interventions include participatory climate-resilient land-use planning, the establishment of 30,000 hectares of Community Based Forest Management (CBFM) reserves, 12,000 hectares of agroforestry and afforestation, and the construction of flood and erosion control infrastructure. To improve livelihoods, the project provides climate-smart agricultural inputs, rainwater harvesting systems, and support for beekeeping and mushroom cultivation. The initiative is executed by the Government of Tanzania's Vice President's Office and UNHCR, with a total financing of USD 23.62 million.
