Activities: Community Participation

Before communities can effectively participate in the management of their natural resources, they must be organized. The project’s activities and training will build capacity and awareness on the legal provisions for the principles of Integrated Water Resources Management. It will also focus on the risks and vulnerability to climate change, reducing water flows and possible adaptive measures.

The new water strategy and legislation in Tanzania provide for Catchment and Basin-level forums. This project will pilot the establishment of the Kikuletwa Catchment Forum, which will address the many conflicts emerging in that sub-catchment. It is anticipated that some issues, such as sub-catchment water rights allocation can be debated and resolved through such forums.
