Major Problems
Impacts of climate change especially drought accelerated
Low agriculture and livestock productivity
Water shortage
Food insecurity
Deforestation
Poverty
The project aimed at reducing these problems in totality.
BUT HOW?

Climate smart agriculture innovations
Good Agricultural Practices: Proper planting time, drought tolerant seeds, spacing, thinning, weeding, community seed production
On farm rainwater harvesting through;-
Soil erosion control: Fanya Juu, contour farming, grass strips, trash lines
Soil fertility management: crop rotation, intercropping legumes, FYM, composting
Soil moisture management: Magoye ripper, Ox ridger, cover crops, contour farming
Done for 3 consecutive years 2011 – 2013 with Chololo farmers

Household with food sufficiency increased from 29% in 2006/07
to 62% in 2012/13
General income level has increased from 585,042/= in 2012 to
690,360/= in 2014. For women income level has increased from
341,386/= to 560,344/= due to more sales of surplus crop
yields and livestock
Livelihood has improved – improved houses and clean water
Scaling up to other 3 villages of Kikombo of Dodoma Municipal
and Idifu ward of Chamwino district (54 months project )

CHALLENGES
Scaling up to a wider geographical area
Changing people’s behaviour / resistance to change
Enforcement of existing forest protection by-laws
Community land use planning and enforcement
Low awareness and capacity of local government
Low investment in Research and Extension

OVERCOMING CHALLENGES
Incentivise local communities to take up climate change
adaptation technologies
Invest in research on affordable CC technologies
Build capacity of District Councils to plan and implement
climate change adaptation and mitigation, including CC in
District Development Plans
Develop sustainable forest exploitation and management
systems
Get tough on enforcement of environmental protection
bylaws
