AU Policy Framework for Pastoralism in Africa: Key Lessons and Significance to Tanzania

Introduction: Pastoralism is a pastoral production system in which at least 50% of the gross household’s income – the value of market production and the estimated value of subsistence production consumed by households, comes from pastoralism or its related activities. It is a system whereby more than 15% of household’s food energy consumption involves the dairy products they produce. 1 Pastoralism is also defined as a livelihood system where people depend on larger parts (over 80%) of their daily life requirements on livestock production.

Way Forward for Community Wildlife Management (CWM)

On 6th November 2015, TNRF held a Natural Resource Forum Event that took place at Mt. Meru Hotel in Arusha. The forum brought together different experts and practitioners from various natural resource areas (government line ministries, non-governmental organizations, private sectors and the public). The event aimed at promoting dialogue, innovative options and best practices in natural resources in Tanzania while increasing the publicity of TNRF’s work and its’ members through mainstreaming and social media. The forum consisted of two-breakout sessions, one of which was on Community Wildlife Management (CWM) – and was co-facilitated by Mr. John Salehe from AWF together with Mr. Thadeus Binamungu from USAID's PROTECT initiative. Discussion within the community wildlife management session was geared towards recommendation setting for CWM through addressing three big questions;

  • What do communities, conservationists, private sectors and CSOs want?
  • What do politicians and policy makers say?
  •  What does climate change dynamics dictate as far as wildlife is concerned?
