Upscaling ecosystem-based adaptation to enhance ecosystem services and community adaptive capacity in Tanzania's Greater Serengeti Ecosystem.

The project objective is to create a transformative change in the climate resilience of rural crop and livestock farmers in the GSE by creating a sustainable model for upscaling successful Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) and community-based land management. The sustainability of project interventions will be facilitated by unlocking finance for climate adaptation at a local level. This sustainability will be underpinned by support for climate-resilient livelihood options and restoration of degraded landscapes.<br>
<br>
By supporting improved resource management and enabling sustainable community livelihoods, the project will strengthen the resilience of crop and livestock farmers in the GSE to climate change-induced droughts and floods. As a core element, the preferred solution will prioritize community ownership of locally-led adaptation solutions, thereby ensuring every intervention can be continued in the long term.<br>
