  2. Empowering Vulnerable Rural Communities to Adapt and Mitigate the Impacts of Climate Change in Central Tanzania Project title This project is funded by the European Union

  3. To strengthen capacity of vulnerable rural communities to adapt to climate change for improved livelihoods and natural resource management. aim This project is funded by the European Union

  4. To transform Chololo into a thriving eco-village – a model of good practice in climate change adaptation and mitigation; To identify, test, evaluate and share innovative adaptation technologies and approaches; To support the village community to agree and implement land use plans and natural resource management practices; To empower women to act at the forefront of the transformation, with increased authority and reduced workload; To increase household food security and incomes, and improve livelihoods. objectives This project is funded by the European Union

  6. Drought – rain season starts later, finishes earlier, less predictable, hence change in crop calendar, crop losses, low agricultural productivity, lowered incomes, food shortage and recurrent famine strike; Deforestation - loss of vegetation, increased desertification, reduced animal forage/pasture, shortage of fuel wood and timber, increased women’s workload, increased land pressure due to poor natural resource management (NRM); Flooding and strong winds – leading to soil erosion, crop losses, land degradation, and declining soil fertility; Human diseases: skin diseases, cholera and diarrhoea; Livestock diseases/crop pests: e.g. Rift Valley Fever, army worm, calidea bugs, stink bugs; Inadequate ground water recharge, lowering water table, increased salinity, leading to shortage of drinking water for domestic use and livestock, and low availability/poor quality of water for crop production Chololo climate change effects This project is funded by the European Union
