RESTORE Renewable Energies and rangeland reSTOration for REsilience in rural Tanzania.

Objectif officiel

The RESTORE project strengthens the resilience and adaptation of pastoral communities in Tanzania to climate change by enhancing the awareness and human and institutional capacities of local actors and promoting adaptation and mitigation actions in line with Sustainable Development Goals 7, 13, and 15. The intervention area in the Longido district (Arusha region) is a high-biodiversity area located in the ecological corridor between the Amboseli and Natron ecosystems, on the border with Kenya. It is threatened by the challenges posed by climate change and demographic growth, which have increased human pressure on the land. The food security of the local communities, among the poorest in Tanzania, depends on pastoralism and is severely threatened by the loss of pasture productivity. Causes include the massive spread of invasive species that are often inedible for livestock and wildlife, loss of vegetative cover, and overgrazing, exacerbated by irregular rainfall. The main focus is environmental support, with an integrated approach that promotes gender equality, participatory development, and disaster risk reduction, in line with OECD/DAC policy priorities. Result 1 (OECD/DAC sector: 31130): Strengthening the climate change adaptation capacity of local communities by promoting improved management of land at risk of desertification. Capitalizing on Oikos' experience in the intervention area and recent research results, the project adopts a methodology aimed at reversing land degradation through rehabilitation interventions that also trigger a virtuous cycle of female empowerment. Maasai women play a central role in leading invasive species removal campaigns and pasture restoration, supported by youth groups trained by the project to constantly monitor environmental impact. Through these actions, women not only contribute to ecosystem health but also enhance their social role and economic independence. The production of fodder from healthy pastures will be the most significant tangible benefit, linking healthy pastures to communities resilient to climate change and economic shocks. Additionally, the best practices promoted by the project will be the subject of an extensive environmental education campaign in schools and villages, highlighting the role of women. These synergistic actions aim to improve pasture management, promoting a sustainable balance between people, livestock, and wildlife. Result 2 (OECD/DAC sector: 23110): Promoting climate change mitigation actions in the intervention area by strengthening international cooperation between the government agency responsible for water distribution in rural areas (RUWASA), civil society organizations, and Italian companies operating in the renewable energy sector. Specifically, Carbonsink strengthens RUWASA's capacities for accreditation to the Green Climate Fund and the creation of a specialized technical unit for managing water access projects fundable through carbon credits.
