Tanzania Secures 230bn Shillings for Mitigation Projects

Vice-President's Office (VPO) has secured 230bn/- for execution of adaptation measures in a strategic Simiyu water project to mitigate climate change effects.

Minister of State in VPO, Union Affairs and Environment, January Makamba, told the National Assembly here yesterday that his office is still seeking more funds from international climate change bodies to implement various projects for mitigation of climate change.

According to Minister of State in the Vice President's Office (Union Affairs and Environment) Mr January Makamba "The VPO's office will continue writing more project proposals for implementation of adaptation projects to mitigate the climate change effects, which cut across all sectors in the country, including production and public services," he said as he tabled his ministry's budget estimates for the 2017/18 fiscal year.

Four other projects on biodiversity conservation that the ministry had presented to the Global Environment Facility have received a funding green light, bringing to nine the total number of projects that will receive funding from the facility.
