Tanzania: Mainstreaming Climate Change in Integrated Water Resources Management in the Pangani River Basin
The objective of the project is to prepare water managers and users for changing climatic conditions (especially reduced flows) through provision of technical data, planning, and improved allocation, capacity building and awareness-raising. Specific actions include: (1) conducting an assessment of water flows for the Pangani River; (2) training 10 technicians to understand climate change implications for river flow; (3) establishing a catchment forum to discuss water management and other stakeholder management forums to build awareness and political will to resolve conflicts; (4) promoting basin-level participation in national cilmate change and water management; and (5) developing and disseminating awareness materials on the implications of climate change and various likely river flow scenarios among local authorities, decision makers, communities and the private sector.
