As for the DED, Dr Anastasia Tutuba, she wanted to know how the project was going to be implemented, and how long it will take for the proposed dam to be finished.

Through the survey conducted by TNRF it was observed that Kilosa District has history of resource related conflicts especially on land tenure security. These conflicts are caused by social, economic and political factors and brought tension between land users i.e farmers and pastoralists and communities and investors. To address the challenge TNRF adopted lesson learnt and best practices from Iringa rural and Chemba District where project was implemented before scaled up to Kilosa and Kiteto Districts.
