Programme
Overview
CCIAM
Background
• The CCIAM programme is a
partnership between URT and the
Kingdom of Norway.
• 5-Year Programme (2009 – 2014).
CCIAM
Background
• Collaborating Institutions
–Tanzania
• SUA, UDSM, ARU & TMA
– Norway
• UMB and Other Institutions in Norway
CCIAM
PROGRAMME GOAL
Better Management of Natural
Resources and the Environment
through
Appropriate Adaptation
and
Mitigation Strategies and Participation
in Climate Change Initiatives
CCIAM
MAIN OBJECTIVE
To develop and sustain adequacy in
national capacity to participate in
climate change initiatives and
address the effects and
challenges of climate change with
particular emphasis to the REDD
initiatives.
CCIAM
FOCUS AREAS AND ACTIVITIES
A: Research
1. Development of appropriate climate
change mitigation and adaptation
strategies in forestry, other land uses,
ecosystems and biodiversity
management
2. Assessment of climate change impacts
on and vulnerability of ecosystem
services and livelihoods under REDD
initiatives
CCIAM
3. Policy and legal framework analysis
of climate change adaptation and
mitigation with emphasis on
economic efficiency, ecological
effectiveness and wider political
legitimacy
CCIAM
B: Capacity Building
Develop and Undertake Human Capacity
Building:
– Conducting Masters and PhD training on
climate change issues.
– Mainstreaming climate change issues in
tertiary institutions curricula.
– Developing modules incorporating analytical
modelling in socio-economic and ecological
issues to be used for analysis of adaptation to
climate change and variability.
CCIAM
–Short courses and
dissemination workshops on
climate change for various
stakeholders
–Enhancement of special skills in
modelling for technicians and
scientists
–Exchange programmes
CCIAM
• Develop/Rehabilitate Physical
Infrastructure
–Establishment of database
–Provision of equipment
–Provide reliable internet services
–Strengthening climatological
monitoring system by TMA
CCIAM
– Establish modelling laboratories
– Availing hardware and software for short
courses on modelling
– Improvement of field research laboratory
at Mazumbai
– Strengthening laboratory for aquatic
ecosystems and related biodiversity at
UDSM
– Acquiring tide gauges for monitoring sea
level changes by ARU
CCIAM
C: Strategic Intervention
Implementation of strategic interventions
–Those developed by the
programme to contribute mitigation
and adaptation, i.e. major strategic
interventions
–Others responding to requests by
grass-root communities, i.e. minor
strategic interventions
CCIAM
D: Documentation,
Communication and Publicity
• Disseminate and inform various
stakeholders on issues relevant to climate
change impacts, vulnerability, adaptation
and mitigation needs and practices.
• Enhancing sharing of electronic information
and maintenance of institutional repositories
relevant to CCIAM programme and other
challenge of climate change

A: RESEARCH
Fifteen research project are being funded
under the following thematic areas:
•Thematic area 1.
– Carbon Mitigation by forests (4)
– Other land uses (3)
•Thematic area 2.
– Social-economics (incl. adaptation) (4)
•Thematic area 3.
– Governance (4)
CCIAM
Potential of research activities in
relation to developing and sustaining
adequacy in National capacity
• Forest Carbon Mitigation (MRV,
Modelling etc)
• The four projects under this theme are
geared towards developing
methodologies for carbon mitigation;
monitoring, reporting and verification that
will feed inputs REDD negotiations.
CCIAM
• Other land uses – drivers of forest
degradation and Deforestation and
their mitigation
• The three research projects are aiming
at assessing the implication of climate
change on:
– smallholders’ Livelihoods,
– urban land use and fisheries in mangrove
ecosystems.
• Research in these areas is expected to
provide input on matters of adaptation
which are key under REDD.
CCIAM
• Socio-economics (Economics,
Livelihoods and vulnerability
assessment)
• Projects under this theme are intended to provide:
– mechanisms for community compensation and carbon
markets,
– economic valuation of incremental biomass under PFM
and
– incentive options for forest-based emissions reduction and
co-benefit generation.
• these are crucial in guiding decisions on
financing/marketing modalities under REDD
initiative preparation.
CCIAM
• Governance, Community
participation, gender policy and legal
framework (5 projects)
• These research will provide results on:
– REDD options for Livelihood Security,
Governance,
– incentives and monitoring and
– Governance challenges in REDD
Implementation are crucial.
• These will provide evidence on REDD
Architecture in Tanzania and
participation.

Research - ctd
• Budget per project varies from TZS
154,000,000 to 177,000,000.
• The projects are implemented over three
years.
• Contracts signed for project
implementation
• The projects are being implemented in
the National REDD Sites where NGOs
and local government authorities are key
stakeholders.

CCIAM
C: Strategic Intervention
Programme-owned Major
Strategic Intervention
Concepts
CCIAM
C: Strategic Intervention
– To introduce technologies/innovations for
increasing carbon sinks.
– To introduce alternative energy sources aimed
at avoiding reduction of carbon sinks.
– To introduce/promote innovations that will
contribute to reducing carbon emissions from
productive activities and increasing carbon
sinks.
– To undertake impact assessment and modelling
studies.
CCIAM
D: Documentation,
Communication and Publicity
Libraries of participating institutions
have developed a project titled:
–Strengthening Documentation,
Communication and Dissemination of
Information related to Climate Change
Impacts, Adaptation and Mitigation in
Tanzania.
CCIAM
WAY FORWARD
• Researchers have embarked on field
work.
• Major strategic intervention activities
have been initiated
• Another call for 25 Masters
scholarship Mid-March 2011.
• A call for research concept notes and
projects for the 3rd year expected in
May 2011.
