Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS)
2008Also available in:
No results found.This project is the Sub-Sahara Africa component of the FAO global initiative on conservation and adaptive management of Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS). Two specific transboundary systems and their population will be targeted: Masaai pastoral system and upland agro-forestry systems. The “dynamic conservation” approach which the project is advocating will address adaptive management and conservation of productive landscape of Masaai and Upland communities and will build capacity of local communities in Kenya and the United Republic of Tanzania as a mean to achieve sustainable agriculture and rural development (SARD). It is expected that the project will also contribute to sustainable development through: (i) enhancing the benefits derived by local populations and indigenous peoples from the management, conservation and sustainable use of agricultural biodiversity and natural resources; (ii) adding economic value and sharing derived benefits from these systems; (iii) enhancing food security and alleviating poverty while maintaining ecosystem goods and services of traditional agricultural systems (iv) improving awareness and education among government agencies, local authorities and communities, and other stake holders; ( iv) d emonstrating “local livelihood benefits – global environmental benefits linkages” through agro-ecosystem a pproaches across government agencies, local communities, indigenous peoples and private sector; (v) g uarantee that the ri ght to adequate food is realized by ensuring that every man, woman and child, in the t arget communities, have the physical and economic access at all times to adequate food or means for its procurement; and (vi) disseminating key best practices and lessons learnt between implementing agencies, recipient communities and countries -locally, regionally and on a global scale. -

Also available in:
No results found.Forests and woodlands in the United Republic of Tanzania play an important role in the country’s economy and in nature conservation, ensuring environmental and livelihood opportunities for communities, by providing a variety of products and services However, forest degradation and deforestation are among the key challenges faced by the forestry sector This situation tends to threaten and undermine the sector’s potential for its contribution to conservation, poverty alleviation and economic development objectives Against this background, the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania requested that FAO provide support to review national forestry policy The forestry policy review process started in 2017 and was completed in February 2018 and the new draft forest policy was produced and submitted to the Government However, forest sector management challenges persisted, including uncoordinated and fragmented implementation of forest sector plans and programmes In addition, there was insufficient human and institutional capacity, self financing and intersectoral cooperation to achieve the desired outputs and benefits for forestry development at national and local levels In view of this, the Government requested that FAO provide further assistance to address the implementation mechanism of forestry policy in particular, to develop a national forest policy implementation strategy, and to review the national Forest Management Act of 2002.
