Environmental policy and administrative management

The project purpose is to improve community environmental management for sustainable economic development of Bukoba communities. The project will cover eleven wards in Bukoba Rural district where the environmental degradation is a very serious problem resulting from population pressure, excessive and uncontrolled harvesting of trees for charcoal, baking of bricks and for firewood. The project will conduct community environmental education to increase community conservation awareness, promote an intensive tree planting program by establishing three multipurpose tree nurseries; reduce the rate of consumption of firewood by introducing the low fuel consuming stoves; increase the access to safe water by constructing household water storage tanks and introduce bee keeping as income generating activities and a measure to ensure that the forests are protected because they will be housing the community bee hives.
