TNRF, working in collaboration with the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), is implementing a program to increase awareness about natural resource and investment laws and policies in Tanzania so that Tanzanians are able to protect their rights to their land and resources. TNRF has produced a radio series that breaks down the legal jargon around land and investment laws, making them more accessible and understandable to your average citizen.

On January 16^th, the Constitutional Review Commission invited TNRF and two other NGOs - HakiArdhi and SHARINGO - to present civil society's views and opinions about the role of natural resources and environmental issues in the constitution.  Following a one-day workshop where TNRF collected input from CSOs, TNRF presented the opinions on the new constitution to the Commission.  The Commission provided feedback and TNRF will submit all final opinions to the Commission by January 25^th.
