PRODOC PIMS 5077Securing Watershed Services Through SLM in the Ruvu and Zigi Catchments (Eastern Arc), Tanzania PRODOC PIMS 5077Securing Watershed Services through SLM in the Ruvu and Zigi catchments (Eastern Arc), Tanzania 1 PRODOC PIMS 5077Securing Watershed Services through SLM in the Ruvu and Zigi catchments (Eastern Arc), Tanzania Brief project description: This project will be implemented in the Uluguru and East Usambara Mountains of Tanzania. These mountains, which give rise to the Ruvu and Zigi Rivers respectively, form part of the Eastern Arc chain, and are amongst the most important catchment areas in the country. The forests in these catchments are recognised as globally important stores of carbon and centres of species diversity and endemism. They also provide critical watershed services, the continued functioning of which is being compromised by a host of human-induced pressures and poor land-use practices that are causing rapid land use change and land degradation. The situation is made worse by high levels of poverty and population growth; inadequate infrastructure for providing clean water to communities, low levels of compliance with water-use regulations and a lack of co-ordination amongst the various institutions and programmes operating in the catchments. The combined results of this are that both the quantity and quality of water in the Ruvu and Zigi river catchments is declining, undermining ecosystem services and functions and resulting in water shortages for people and the environment. Despite an impressive baseline of existing interventions, the rate of deforestation and severity of land degradation in the Ruvu and Zigi catchments is unacceptably high. Sustainable Land Management (SLM) offers a comprehensive approach to management and governance of land and water resources and holds the potential to make significant and lasting differences both in the short and long term. Although the Government of Tanzania is committed to addressing the interconnected issues of land degradation, water security and poverty, its ability to resolve these problems by integrating SLM into watershed management is limited by: (i) lack of a collaborative institutional framework that enables water basin authorities and stakeholders to effectively plan, monitor and adapt land management and leverage investments for SLM; ii) staff, resource and technical capacity deficits; and (iii) inadequate demonstrated experiences in integrated watershed management approaches at the landscape level. It is these barriers that this Project will address. This project has been organised under two components, the first focussed on building institutional capacity and strengthening co-ordination amongst Water Basin Authorities and other relevant stakeholders, and the second on implementing practical Sustainable Land Management (SLM) interventions to address land degradation in forests, rangelands and farmlands, with the overall purpose of securing watershed services and improving livelihoods. Component 1 provides for several areas of project support, including: (i) development and implementation of Integrated Land Use Management Plans (ILUMPS) and Village Land Use Plans; (ii) establishing or strengthening multi-sectoral stakeholder committees whose role will be to co- ordinate dialogue and action amongst stakeholders, and raise awareness about SLM; (iii) forming and strengthening Water User Associations and capacitating them to perform their roles effectively; (iv) improving compliance and enforcement; and, (v) increasing the funds available for SLM. Component 2 will target the widespread adoption of SLM practices within agricultural and livestock production systems and the conservation and rehabilitation of degraded forests in the two river basins. Key areas of project support will include working with selected communities and relevant basin management authorities to: (i) reduce human-induced pressures (e.g. illegal harvesting and mining and unwise use of fire) and promote sustainable forest management and forest restoration both within and outside of protected areas; (ii) develop and test sustainable livestock management technologies; and (iii) increase household food production and incomes through uptake of SLM and Sustainable Rangeland Management practices, and the development of diversified, alternative sustainable livelihoods. The total cost of investment in this project is estimated at US$ 27,648,858, of which US$3,648,858constitutes funding from the GEF, US$ 2 million represents co-financing from the UNDP, and a further US$22 million represents co-financing from the Government of Tanzania. 2 PRODOC PIMS 5077Securing Watershed Services through SLM in the Ruvu and Zigi catchments (Eastern Arc), Tanzania Contents Page number Acronyms 4 SECTION 1 ELABORATION of the NARRATIVE Part I: Situation Analysis 8 Context and Global Significance 8 Threats, Root Causes and Impacts 29 Long term solution and barriers to achieving the solution 35 Stakeholder Analysis 41 -

  • Northeastern Tanzania
    © Lonely Planet Publications 153 Northeastern Tanzania For at least 2000 years, northeastern Tanzania has been attracting visitors. In the 1st century AD, the author of the mariners’ chronicle Periplus of the Erythraean Sea mentions the exist- ence of the trading outpost of Rhapta, which is thought to have possibly been somewhere around present-day Pangani. Several centuries later, a string of settlements sprang up along the coast with links to ports in Arabia and the Orient. Today, this long history, plus easy access and lack of crowds, make the northeast’s long, tropical, ruin-studded coastline and its lush, mountainous inland areas an appealing region to explore. Along the coast, visit the medieval, moss-covered ruins at Kaole and Tongoni, step back to the days of Livingstone in Bagamoyo, relax on long stretches of palm-fringed sand around Pangani, or enjoy beach and bush at Saadani, Tanzania’s only seaside national park. Inland, hike along shaded forest footpaths around Lushoto while following the cycle of bustling, NORTHEASTERN TANZANIA colourful market days of the local Sambaa people, head to Same and learn about the intrigu- ing burial rituals of the neighbouring Pare, or experience the wild East African bush from the comfort of a wonderful upmarket camp in the seldom-visited Mkomazi Game Reserve. Most of the region is within an easy half-day’s drive or bus ride from both Dar es Salaam and Arusha, and there are good connections between many places in the region and Zan- zibar. Main roads are in good to reasonable condition, there’s a reasonably wide range of accommodation, and the local transport network reaches many areas of interest.

  • Viability and Economic Valuation of Eastern Arc Mountains
    VIABILITY AND ECONOMIC VALUATION OF EASTERN ARC MOUNTAINS FOR THE PROJECT No. 69/2017/RS/EAM: VIABILITY AND ECONOMIC VALUATION OF ECOSYSTEM SERVICES IN THE EASTERN ARC MOUNTAINS BY FelisterMombo (PhD), NeemaKitasho and Lilian Kishimbo (PhD) 3/30/2020 i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Forests and natural ecosystems supply a vast of values to the environment. These values can be grouped into social, ecological and economic importance. All these categories function dependently, meaning if one function is impaired the efficiency of the other also gets weak. The ecological functions in an ecosystem are generally the habitat and regulation services while social are attached to the perception of human being and the economic function reflects to the monetary value of a service. The misinformation about the existing relationships between ecological functions and economic functions has led to miss-pricing of goods and services accrued from the ecosystems where by the marketed (revealed preferences) values are given a higher price than the non marketed (perceived) values. As a result to this imbalances and mi-conceptions many of the benefits and economic values provided by nature remain underprivileged by market hence paid less attention in policy making and conservation. It is under this hypothesis, the study on Viability and economic valuation of Eastern Arc Mountains (EAMs) was construed. As an initiative for conservation of EAMs this study seeks to undertake a feasibility analysis and total economic evaluation of the ecosystem services provided by the Mountains. It is well known that information about the monetary importance of ecosystem services is a powerful and essential tool to make better and more balanced decisions regarding trade-offs involved in land use options and resource use.
