On Day 2 of training Local Government Officials on Decentralized Climate Finance for NbS investments, our Executive Director, Dr. Sixbert Mwanga led a session on Climate Finance & Policy Landscape.

Key highlights:
📌 If climate change hasn’t touched your family yet… it has touched someone close to you.
📌 Scientific projections show impacts may hit even harder next year.

For LGAs in Tanzania, the reality is already here:
🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 155 lives lost in 2024 floods
🏘️ Over 51,000 households affected
🍛 Rising food insecurity
🏦 Slowing local economies
🤰 Disrupted infrastructure & maternity services

But there’s direction forward, from priorities identified in Pillar 3 on Environmental Integrity and Climate Change Resilience to NAP (2025–2035), NCCRS, and NDC 3.0 in progress, real impact happens only when policies reach the ground.

That’s why
📌 Integrating climate aspects into 5-year district development plans is critical
📌Prioritizing climate finance in district budgets is non-negotiable
📌Collaboration with PO-LARG, VPO, sector ministries, NGOs, the private sector, and Development partners is a must.
📌Skills in Research, Monitoring & Evaluation should be enhanced at the local level.

Climate finance at the LGA level isn’t policy talk; it’s about food security, economic stability, and saving lives.

Through the implementation of the RESOLVE-NbS Project, Climate Action Network Tanzania .tanzania is empowering officials in Kilolo, Iringa, Ifakara, Mlimba, and Morogoro Districts to access Decentralized Climate Finance (DCF). This initiative shifts funding power to the local level, allowing districts to directly manage resources that protect vital sectors like agriculture and forestry from intensifying climate risks.
For 3 days, starting from 16th March 2026, leaders from the 5 districts are aligning district budgets with Nature-based Solutions (NbS) through a practical, participatory approach. The creation of bankable project concepts and local action plans allows the LGAs to turn national climate goals into resilient, community-led realities.
This project is implemented in partnership with IUCN ,WWF , Care International , CEO Roundtable and EAMCEF

True resilience starts at the grassroots, putting resources directly into the hands of the people.

At the Post-COP30 forum, Dr. Mwanga emphasized the need for developing countries to prioritize climate adaptation over mitigation to protect local communities, which are already facing the impacts of climate change.

The focus must shift from high-level policy to ensuring climate finance and green technology bypass bureaucratic hurdles to reach the affected communities.

STRENGTHENING CLIMATE ACTION IN TANZANIA.

We are proud to collaborate with the Vice President’s Office (VPO) in convening National Stakeholders Technical Workshop to kick-start the reviewing process of the National Climate Change Response Strategy (NCCRS) 2021–2026. The workshop is held in Dodoma and has brought together a diverse group of stakeholders, including Government MDAs, Development Partners (DPs), Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), and the Private Sector demonstrating the power of inclusivity in advancing Tanzania’s committments towards climate resilience development agenda.

Considering the significant policy, development, and climate landscape changes over the past five years, reviewing the National Climate Change Response Strategy (NCCRS 2021-2026) is both timely and necessary to reflect current realities and align with new national development priorities as stipulated in the Tanzania Development Vision (DIRA 2050), NDC 3.0, and the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) 2025–2035 to mention few.
tanzania remain committed to supporting and facilitate inclusive dialogue, evidence-based policy review, and coordinated action that accelerate Tanzania’s climate development ambitions.
