EUROPEAN UNION TANZANIA DELEGATION VISIT TO KITETO TO ASSESS PRM IMPLEMENTATION

Submitted by Website Officer on 6 March 2020 - 1:50pm

In preparation for the Result Oriented Monitoring (ROM) mission to Tanzania the European Union (EU) Tanzania had a technical visit to project sites in Kiteto to assess the progress of Participatory Rangelands Management Project (PRM) implementation. The visit took place from 10^th - 12^th February, 2020. The technical team comprised of focal persons from EU, Manyara Regional Secretariat, National Land Use Planning Commission, Kiteto District Council, KINNAPA and TNRF.

The EU focal person, the technical Advisor Dr. Mathew Mpanda first had a discussion with the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries Development in Dodoma to understand the support and collaboration between the project and the Ministry for purposes of sustainability and to inform national policy processes. Thereafter the team visited two clusters of OLENGAPA and NAPALAI whereas they had an opportunity to meet community members and saw ongoing activities in these two clusters.

Issues highlighted during the technical visit:

EU technical advisor appreciated the work done so far is confident that the project will achieve its intended results within the time frame.
PRM project need to build synergies with other EU funded projects in northern Zone like Oikos project on women empowerment
For sustainability, the project should continue working communities, local government, national government and other partners to ensure best practices are shared accordingly as part of knowledge management.
The project needs to invest in print and TV/Radio communication to share the progress and success of the project. This can also act as a fundraising tool for PRM up scaling.
Rolling out of Community Investment Funds should be fast racked for the project to have time to monitor the progress and success

About the project: PRM is a EU funded project through ILC in six clusters of rangelands in Tanzania. This is across border four years project in Tanzania and Kenya. The project is implemented through a collaboration of partners which include: Tanzania Natural Resource Forum (TNRF), Resource Conflict Institute (RECONCILE), International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), Veterinaries San Frontiers (VSF), SOS SAHEL and Coalition of European Lobby on Pastoralism in East Africa (CELEP). TNRF is the implementer of the project in Tanzania currently in four shared grazing areas of OLENGAPA,NAPALAI,KIMBO and ALLOLE while RECONCILE pilots the project in Baringo County, Kenya. Both implementing institutions are technically guided by ILR. The overall objective of the project is to improve the livelihood and nutrition status of pastoralist communities in East Africa by improving the management of rangelands for optimal utilization. Thus, the project work towards attaining security and better use of rangelands and expand the role of women in selected pastoral communities in Kenya and Tanzania.
