Last week, CAN Tanzania successfully hosted project exit meetings in Kigurusimba and Msaraza villages in Pangani District to conclude the PRO-NDC-ACT project.
These sessions offered a valuable opportunity for reflection and discussion among community leaders and members. We celebrated the project's successes and addressed the challenges we faced along the way, while also exploring our joint sustainability plans.
During these meetings, we took time to analyse our collective journey and recognise the positive behavioural changes that helped local communities effectively implement Nature-based Solutions (NbS) to enhance their resilience to climate change.
As part of our commitment to knowledge transfer, we distributed a practical guide on nursery establishment and management, establishing a clear framework for roles and responsibilities following the project.
The meetings fostered collaboration, bringing together representatives from the Pangani District Council, village leaders, and the Tanzania Forest Services Agency (TFS).
Community members expressed their dedication to continuing the reforestation efforts initiated by the project, leveraging the sustainable practices and knowledge they have acquired over the past three years. The district, alongside ward and village officers, promised to play a crucial role in overseeing and coordinating these ongoing activities, ensuring a lasting positive impact on the community.
