Executive summary This report provides highlights on the implementation of the Landscape Scale Community Centered Ecosystem Conservation Program in Western Tanzania for the second quarter of seventh year of program operation. The program focuses on community engagement and participation in natural resource management in 52 target villages and general land and utilizes land use planning, community based forest management, community economic empowerment, sustainable farming and good governance to achieve sustainable natural resources management in the landscape. One of the highlights of this quarter was the official introduction and launch of the Western Tanzania Forest Monitoring Dashboard that is based on Forest Watcher platform and incorporates ground data regularly collected by the Forest Monitors (FM). These activities were part of the programs emphasis on developing tools that could be used to enhance the understanding of forest cover changes as a result of human activities, monitoring climate change impacts and ultimately support decision making and the management of forests and wildlife. A one day review of the Greater Gombe-Mahale Ecosystem Conservation Action Plan (CAP) developed in 2015 was reviewed by JGI, partners from the four districts and NGO's. The CAP review was enhanced by biological data generated from recent chimpanzee surveys conducted by different stakeholders working in the area including Ugalla Primate Research Project, Tanzania Forest Research Institute, The Nature Conservancy and Frankfurt Zoological Society. This document identifies priority strategies for improved chimpanzee conservation in western Tanzania, as well as other conservation targets - elephants, forests, woodlands, mountain ecosystems and Lake Tanganyika. Both the Dashboard and the Conservation Action Plan for Greater Gombe and Mahale Ecosystems were launched by Kigoma and Katavi Regional Commissioners. Dr Jane Goodall attended both inauguration ceremonies. JGI has continued to deepen its collaboration with Esri and Digital Globe to develop practical approaches that can be used to quantify forest regeneration in the village forest reserves. Forest loss is relatively easy to detect and map, but reforestation has been difficult to map. To map the health of the vegetation, JGI with partners are testing new tools including Esri's new Drone2Map tool to streamline the creation of high resolution imagery products from drone-captured still imagery to monitor reforestation and illegal human activities in village forest reserve. We are also exploring the potential use of Esri’s GeoPlanner web app evaluation dashboard tools to visualize and compare the forest change statistics for decision-makers. Esri’s GeoPlanner app could be used to compare two maps side by side and visualize forest change statistics using easy to read dashboards. For example, in 1972 the current area of Kigalye Forest Reserve had 370 ha of forests and woodlands (70% of the reserve total area). This figure shows that by 2005 that area was reduced to 156 hectares or 42% of the 1972 forest cover baseline. As a result of the village land use planning and community forest monitoring and conservation efforts, that woodland cover started to recover and reached 302 hectares by 2014 or 82% of the baseline. More details and images can be found in section 5.4. The program facilitated the development of village land use plans (LUP) in two villages, Pamila and Matendo, leading to the designation of 2,156ha as village land forest reserves and contributes to the indicator area under improved natural resource management. The two new LUPs brings the total number of VLUPs developed by the program to 54. The 1 LUP process was facilitated by Kigoma District Council Participatory Land Use Management (PLUM) team. Fifteen villages have shown improvements in the management of their village forest reserves as a result of program support to them in enforcing bylaws, guidelines, and agreements that guide their management. Each VFR is patrolled to discover and prevent encroachment and to ensure effective implementation of the land use plans. Forest monitors (FMs), Firefighting teams, CBOs and Village land use management (VLUM) teams conduct monthly joint patrols for at least 8 days in a month. Experience has proven that regular patrols reduce or even eliminate deforestation and illegal activities in the area. The Uvinza District team conducted forest patrols that covered 156,493.6ha within Masito and Ugalla Local Authority Forest Reserves. Both district and community patrols identified a number of violations of the natural resources laws and bylaws that include cattle grazing, lumbering, farming and establishment of new settlements. Immediate actions were taken to relocate new settlements into formal village settlements while some violators were fined and others taken to court for further legal action. Construction of two CBO offices at Mwamila and Kalalangabo villages for JUMUNTAGO and TUMAKATA CBOs was completed. The offices are intended to enhance good natural resources governance by the CBO's and villages governments by supporting management and coordination of village level conservation initiatives by making it easier for them to keep records, conduct meetings and training. District councils are providing technical supervision and transportation of construction materials contributed by the communities (sand, burnt bricks and stones). Communities do also contribute unskilled labor. The program continues to support economic productivity and diversification through 27 micro-credit groups operated by 2,479 members. Supervision was provided to three

Makunga1* and Salome B. Misana2 1Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism, Pasiansi Wildlife Training Institute, Mwanza, Tanzania. 2Department of Geography, University of Dar es Salaam, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Received 13 February, 2017; Accepted 20 March, 2017 This paper presents findings of a study on the effectiveness of forest resource governance on the performance of the REDD+ project in the Masito-Ugalla ecosystem in Uvinza district, western Tanzania through transparency, accountability, participation and integrity. The study was conducted in Ilagala, Karago and Kirando villages with the objective of understanding the effects of forest resources governance on REDD+ project performance as well as examining the best ways of integrating forest resource governance with REDD+ projects. The methods used in the study included household interviews that used a structured questionnaire, semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions. Semi-structured interviews were used to gather qualitative data from key informants. The findings revealed that despite the efforts undertaken by REDD+ initiative in Masito-Ugalla ecosystem, its performance was generally average. Such performance was due to the support rendered by JUWAMMA, the inter-village community based organization, to the REDD+ project activities in the area. Poor forest resources governance had, however, continued to hamper its performance.

  • Tanzania | a Leader Among Africa’S Emerging Markets
    Tanzania | A Leader among Africa’s Emerging Markets Tanzania A Leader among Africa’s Emerging Markets October 2016 01 Tanzania | A Leader among Africa’s Emerging Markets Brief overview The United Republic of Tanzania (Tanzania) has recorded an annual average growth rate of more than 6% over the past decade and is on course to maintain a robust growth rate of over 6.5% going forward. Despite global economic and financial uncertainties, the economy has been able to achieve these consistent growth rates coupled with a low inflation rate, driven by activity in sectors such as mining, energy, construction and manufacturing. Improving public sector efficiency and a crackdown on corruption has been the focus of the new administration under the leadership of President John Magufuli, elected in 2015. The government intends to stimulate inclusive growth and reduce poverty levels by running a leaner administration, promoting tax compliance, building Private-Public Partnerships (PPPs) and attracting investment into industrial sector development. Underpinned by favourable demographics and supported by a government that is showing signs of principled leadership with intentions to invest in education, skills transfers and infrastructure to drive growth, Tanzania is well-positioned to continue on its current rapid growth path. Its young and culturally-diverse population of more than 50 million makes it eastern Africa’s second most- populous nation after Ethiopia; expected to reach almost 83 million by 2030. Greater emphasis on upscaling urban hard and soft infrastructure and creating employment opportunities in light of a rapidly-growing urban population will be integral in supporting its national development vision, the Tanzania Development Vision (TDV) that looks to transform the economy into a middle-income and semi-industrialised state by 2025.
