A Presentation at the private Sector Engagement Workshop On Climate Smart Agriculture Financing In Tanzania On 16™ October, 2018, Ramada Hotel, Dar es Salaam

2. Introduction
Tanzania National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA) was prepared in 2007.
NAPA responds to the country’s climate change related increased vulnerabilities in various sectors
The impacts of climate change on sectors such as agriculture, water, health, energy and others have been the driving force for the preparation of the Tanzania National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA)

3. Introduction cont’d
Tanzania NAPA document is informed by the aspirations of National Development Vision 2025 for high and shared growth, quality livelihood, peace, stability and unity, good governance, high quality education and global competitiveness.
Since Tanzania’s economy is largely dependent on agriculture, it is deemed that sustainable development can be achieved when strategic actions, both short term and long term are put in place to address climate change impacts on agriculture and other key economic sectors.
The process of NAPA preparation involved looking at the effects of climate change as a threat mainly to the agrarian population that still depends on subsistence agriculture for their daily livelihood

4. Introduction cont’d
The overall vision of Tanzania’s NAPA is to identify immediate and urgent Climate Change Adaptation Actions that are robust enough to lead to long-term sustainable development in a changing climate.
NAPA also identified climate change adaptation activities that most effectively reduce the risks that a changing climate poses to sustainable development.

5. NAPA priority activities
NAPA 14 priority projects activities :
1) Water efficiency in crop production irrigation to boost production and conserve water in all areas
2) Alternative farming systems and water harvesting
3) Develop alternative water storage programs and technology for communities
4) Community based catchments conservation and management programs
5) Explore and invest in alternative clean energy sources e.g. Wind, Solar, bio-diesel, etc. to compensate for lost hydro potential
6) Promotion of application of cogeneration in the industry sector for lost hydro potential
7) Afforestation programmes in degraded lands using more adaptive and fast growing tree species 8) Develop community forest fire prevention plans and programmes

6. NAPA priority activities contd
9) Establishing and Strengthening community awareness programmes on preventable major health hazards
10) Implement sustainable tourism activities in the coastal areas and relocation of vulnerable communities from low-lying areas.
11) Enhance wildlife extension services and assistance to rural communities in managing wildlife resources
12) Water harvesting and recycling
13) Construction of artificial structures, e.g., sea walls, artificially placing sand on the beaches and coastal drain beach management system
14) Establish good land tenure system and facilitate sustainable human settlements

7. Agriculture as a priority in the NAPA
Agriculture is the key adaptation issue in NAPAs. Agriculture is listed as a key adaptation need in 96 percent of the NAPAs of LDC adaptation projects, followed by water resource management at 87 percent and NRM 78 percent each respectively.
Thirty-two percent of NAPA implementation projects list Agriculture and food security as a primary priority.
A large majority of NAPA implementation projects included wide stakeholder involvement and are assessing risks. Ninety-six percent included stakeholder involvement at project design, particularly with community based organizations.

8. Implementation of NAPA in Tanzania
NAPA forms a basis for support not only from the LDC Fund under the UNFCCC as required, but also from the international community at large.
The GEF supports implementation of NAPA through LDCF
The GEF has supported climate change adaptation projects and enabling activities, with $1.25 billion for 265 projects through the LDCF and $350 million for 78 projects through the SCCF.
These numbers include support for the preparation of National Adaptation Programmes of Action (NAPAs) in 51 countries.

9. Implementation of NAPA in Tanzania cont’d
Key sectors addressed in NAPA implementation project support include: agriculture, water resource management, climate information systems, natural resource management and fragile ecosystems, disaster risk management, and infrastructural development.
Tanzania’s agriculture sector is an important catalyst for economic growth, poverty alleviation, and food security.
Nevertheless, the economic losses from climate change impacts on agriculture are estimated at US$200 million every year
A number of adaptation projects have been implemented

11. Tanzania experience in NAPA implementation
Implemented the First NAPA Project was titled: Developing core capacity to address adaptation to climate change in Tanzania in productive coastal zones (USD3.80 million, UNEP) implemented in Mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar by VPO
Second project: Strengthening climate information and early warning systems in Tanzania for climate resilient development and adaptation to climate change (USD 4.5 million, UNDP) Tanzania Meteorological Agency, Prime Ministers Office-Disaster Management Department, Ministry of water
Ecosystem-Based Adaptation for Rural Resilience (USD million, UNEP)

12. Engagement of private sectors in adaptation projects
Irrigation schemes of smallholders crop production irrigation
Alternative farming systems and water harvesting
Community based catchments conservation and management programs
Cogeneration in the industry sector and energy sectors (micro hydros)
Water harvesting and recycling

13. Engagement of private sectors in adaptation projects
Construction of artificial structures, e.g., sea walls, artificially placing sand on the beaches and coastal drain beach management system
Smallholders insurance scheme
improved fodder production, grazing management, water harvesting, agroforestry, conservation agriculture, cover cropping, integrated aquaculture, and integration of biogas energy into farms (identified in Climate smart agriculture priorities).
Implement small-scale dams and boreholes as alternative water sources

14. Conclusion and recommendations
Inadequate engagement of private sectors in adaptation projects
Stakeholder mobilization and sensitization and having in place the best institutional set-up to communicate early warning information from the Provider (the Meteorological Services) to can boast adaptation activities at community levels
Public private partnership can enhance participation of private actors in adaptation activities
Private sector – community interplays is still hanging in balance
More collaboration between private and public actors to foster enhanced adaptation and sustainable industrialization on the agriculture sector
