Tanzanian policy makers have an opportunity to spearhead the implementation of the country’s industrialisation agenda through integrated and people-centered land-based investments. In a country where most people depend on land to derive their daily subsistence, it is critical that legitimate land owners are given a central focus in land-based investments that include but are not limited to agriculture, livestock keeping, tourism, and forestry. Evidence shows that existing large-scale land-based investment in many places in the country either marginalise or exclude small producers, particularly women.
The Global Indigenous and Community Conserved Areas and Territories Support Initiative (ICCA GSI) in collaboration with the GEF Small Grants Programme provides supports to territories and areas, which are conserved by indigenous peoples and local communities around the world. Tanzania Natural Resources Forum (TNRF) a membership-based organisation is the recognised national ICCA catalyst organization that through this initiative strengthens and support ICCAs members, partners and communities to effectively engage in the management and conservation of the ICCAs in Tanzania.
Objective for the call for proposals
The initiative has set aside a small fund to support trusted members of ICCAs, NGOs, CBOs and FBOs working and supporting ICCAs in Tanzania to implement community-based projects that focus on the Focal Areas listed below:
Focal Areas:

The ESNRM Project (Equitable and Sustainable Natural Resource Management Project), is a nine-month project (commencing on July, 2019 -March, 2020), funded by the Foundation for Civil Society (FCS). The overall objective of the project is to create peace and harmony on natural resource utilization among various groups in the community for sustainable socio-economic development. This will be achieved by facilitating dialogues among stakeholders in the project area to provide a peaceful environment for conflict resolution, building the capacity of community members, to sustainably utilize their natural resources through identification and development of management plans to ensure sustainability of the available natural resources.
