LIVESTOCK,CLIMATE AND SYSTEMS RESILIENCE

The Livestock Climate and Systems Resilience Initiative is a groundbreaking project being implemented in Tanzania by the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) in partnership with KINNAPA, a local non-governmental organization based in Kiteto District.

Our mission is to strengthen the resilience of local livestock systems and promote sustainable climate-smart agriculture practices.

Joint Village Land Use Planning: A Key Approach Our project focuses on securing and protecting shared grazing areas that span across multiple village boundaries through Joint Village Land Use Planning (JVLUP).

This innovative approach involves local communities coming together to allocate jointly grazing lands, water sources, livestock routes, and forest reserves.

By doing so, we aim to: Promote Peaceful coexistence among neighboring villages Enhance the sustainability of livestock production Protect critical natural resources Foster community-led decision-making and ownership Through JVLUP, we empower local communities to make informed decisions about the use of their shared resources, ensuring that their needs are met while also protecting the environment. This collaborative approach has far-reaching benefits, including: Improved Livestock Productivity and Profitability Enhanced climate resilience and adaptation Better management of natural resources Strengthened community cohesion and social harmony

By supporting the Livestock Climate and Systems Resilience Initiative, we can build a more sustainable future for Tanzania's rural communities. Join us in our efforts to promote climate-resilient agriculture and ensure a better tomorrow for all.
