The Tuungane Project is a joint partnership involving The Nature Conservancy, Pathfinder International and Frankfurt Zoological Society. The geographic area of the project captures the Greater Mahale Ecosystem (GME) in Western Tanzania and its freshwater counterpart—the shores and waters of Lake Tanganyika. The GME is a 4.8million-acre landscape that is home to approximately 93 per-cents of Tanzania’s 2,800 endangered chimpanzees.

The Community Forest Conservation Network of Tanzania, known as MJUMITA in partnership with the Tanzania Forest Conservation Group (TFCG) are implementing the project known as Forest Justice in Tanzania (FJT), in six different zones of Tanzania mainland. The FJT initiative has been active since 2011. The aim of the project is to promote improved governance and increased accountability in Tanzania’s forest sector. Tanzania’s natural forests provide irreplaceable ecosystem services underpinning Tanzania’s water, climate, soil and biodiversity.

The aim of this assignment is to formulate a National Strategy and Plan for the Tourism sector. Articulation of the sector’s strategic direction will provide a Blueprint for Tanzanians to develop and benefit fully from the country’s natural and historical heritage resources.
