an agreement to support the participation of Tanzania in the development and implementation of the
programme to address challenges of climate change with the purpose of increasing Tanzania's
participation in the mitigation of and adaptation of the effects of climate change.
Developing, optimizing and sustaining readiness and adequacy in capacity to address the challenges
brought by climate change will require a number of interventions through raising awareness, training to
build capacity at various levels, and conducting research and outreach activities.
The research component has the following specific objectives which are translated into thematic areas:
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 and vulnerability on ecosystem services and livelihoods under
REDD initiatives.
3) Policy and legal framework analysis of climate change adaptation and mitigation with emphasis on
economic efficiency, ecological effectiveness and wider political legitimacy.
Further elaboration on focus Areas for each of the research themes above as well as Guidelines on the
preparation and submission of the concept notes is provided in the subsequent sections.
