• Crossing the Digital Divide

  Fund: Theme Fund | Country: Tanzania | Amount: $11,000 | Funded in 2010/2011

  This project is Crossing the Digital Divide, delivering Information Communication Technology (ICT) workshops focusing on climate change and gender issues. Participatory practices will be used in agricultural extension programs to connect ICT data with indigenous knowledge related to changes in the crop/weather calendar in four rural Tanzanian communities.

• Adaptive Measures to Integrated Resource Management

  Fund: Theme Fund | Country: Tanzania | Amount: $20,000 | Funded in 2008/2009

  TSAEE implements strategies in tree resource management with women and youth groups in practices which alleviate the impacts of climate change in rural Tanzanian agriculture. This is done by integrating woodlot development (agro-forestry), domestic fuel efficiency (cookstoves), and micro-enterprise development (tree seedling production and cookstove construction) in selected communities of Kwimba and Tabora Regions, Tanzania.
