Empower Indigenous Communities in Tanzania

CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION AND ADAPTATION USING INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE

Prolonged droughts and erratic rainfall have become increasingly severe in Arusha, Tanzania

specifically in Longido and Monduli where the Indigenous and Pastoralists dwell, resulting in significant impacts on public health, livelihoods, and the environment.

Indigenous and marginalized communities, particularly those relying on agriculture and pastoralism, are disproportionately affected by these climate-induced challenges. The rapid disappearance of green pasture and areas for food crops to dry cause massive livestock death by starvation.

MAIPAC is eager to empower Indigenous and marginalized communities to combat climate change by integrating traditional knowledge with modern practices, promoting sustainable land management, and enhancing resilience to drought and extreme weather events.

MAIPAC will facilitate the implementation of community-led adaptation projects, such as tree

planting, afforestation, and sustainable energy initiatives. Both documenting and preserving Indigenous knowledge related to climate adaptation, such as traditional farming practices, water harvesting techniques, and ecological wisdom will also be done in order for it to be shared with other communities experiencing the same traumatic issues. Indigenous knowledge and practices offer valuable insights for developing climate-resilient solutions that are culturally appropriate and sustainable.
