Climate Action Network Tanzania

Climate Action Network Tanzania CAN Tanzania is a non-governmental and non-profit organization founded in 2011, with its headquarter in Dar es Salaam.

Its establishment has been a critical step towards empowering Tanzanians to be more aware of climate change and related issues. Climate Action Network Tanzania (CAN-Tanzania) is a National Network formed and registered in November, 2011. The network has been formed purposely for promoting and strengthening Tanzanian local Networks, CSO’s, and CBO’s through enhancing capacity in information sharing

and managing community based projects based on mitigation, adaptation and coping strategies of climate change impacts.

Climate change affects each individual differently based on their gender. This disproportion calls for more inclusivity in our response efforts. This is why .tanzania is at the forefront of advocating for integrating gender and sexual reproductive health in climate policies and frameworks.

Today, our Executive Director, Dr. Sixbert Mwanga, will participate in a roundtable discussion aimed at showcasing how integrating gender and SRH into climate policies can foster more equitable and resilient communities.

Join us today(17th June 2025) in Bonn from 15:00 - 15:55 at WCCB / Rhine Level Rotunde Room.

Today we celebrate the tiny heroes that keep our ecosystems buzzing.
Bees are the invisible helpers of our farmers — and vital to biodiversity, conservation, and food security.

Last year we started to introduce beekeeping in our reforestation projects. So far we were able to bring beehives to the forests of Pangani and Kilimanjaro District and on Zanzibar. The bees help restoring endangered areas.

The relationship between gender and climate change highlights that the impacts of our changing environment are not equally experienced. Therefore, empowering women and youth is crucial for building resilient and sustainable communities.

On Wednesday, 14th May 2025, at Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA) in Morogoro, CAN Tanzania hosted a workshop on the intersection of gender and climate change for its scholarship beneficiaries. This initiative is part of our scholarship program aimed at strengthening the capacity of women and youth from civil society organizations. The workshop brought together students and future leaders to enhance their understanding of how gender dynamics intersect with climate action and to inspire them to take action.

Through this session, participants explored strategies for integrating gender into climate policies and community initiatives, ensuring that everyone’s voice is included in the journey toward climate resilience.

CAN Tanzania invites stakeholders from all sectors to collaborate in expanding this scholarship program to reach more young people. The collaboration can take the form of financial support, professional mentorship, practical training opportunities, or partnerships in research and community projects.

CAN Tanzania actively participated in the 2025 Pan African Coalition for Adaptation and Resilience (PACAR) Workshop, held in South Africa from May 6 to 9, 2025. The workshop brought together coalition fellows from across the African continent. Organized by Power Shift Africa and Gender CC South Africa Women for Climate Justice on behalf of the coalition, it fostered collaboration and knowledge exchange.

Africa continues to face an escalating climate crisis, marked by increasing vulnerability and significant losses. For the continent, climate adaptation is not a choice but a necessity. Participants engaged in dynamic discussions on climate issues and on-site learning about community adaptation interventions and nature-based solutions.

The workshop helped shape Africa’s climate adaptation and resilience agenda ahead of global engagements such as SB 62 and COP 30.

We call for urgent action to scale up nature-based solutions and climate adaptation for a sustainable future.

Climate Action means Teamwork.

In our engagement for a climate-resilient Tanzania, we are closely working with our partners (State and non-state actors, including communities and the media). Change is only possible with a strong alliance of dedicated and committed people from all areas.

Last week, our renewable energy coalition once again demonstrated the power of inclusive and participatory actions. As part of our advocacy efforts, we held a coalition session with CSOs, government and media representatives. The event was filled with valuable knowledge-sharing, dynamic discussions, and fresh ideas on how joint and effective coordination might ensure the integration and adoption of renewable energy into our plans and budgets at both state and non-state actors' interventions for climate resilience and sustainable development. The inputs from our stakeholders are crucial for developing well-informed policy briefs and reports that reflect diverse perspectives and drive meaningful changes.

Together we think, act and transform.
