This policy brief examines the institutional and policy frameworks of Tanzania's agricultural sector regarding climate change adaptation. It identifies significant gaps in national policy, data accessibility, and institutional capacity, arguing that decentralization and private sector engagement are essential to building resilience for the country's predominantly subsistence-based farming population.

This research paper examines the causes and resolution of land-use conflicts between farmers and pastoralists in Tanzania, specifically focusing on the Pawaga division. It argues that these conflicts are driven by historical evictions, 'green grabbing' for conservation, large-scale agricultural investments, and a formal land dispute settlement system that is biased against pastoralists. The author proposes a community-based coalition model, piloted by the Tanzania Natural Resource Forum (TNRF), as a more effective alternative to formal judicial and administrative mechanisms.

This report presents the results of a socio-economic survey conducted in August 2001 to map the nature and extent of firearm proliferation in Tanzania. The survey, a partnership between the Tanzanian government and NGOs including the Institute for Security Studies, involved 2,892 residents across 12 provinces. It examines the linkages between firearm penetration and social, economic, and security indicators to inform the design of community-based firearm control initiatives.
