The project aims to: ➢ Improve environmental protection and biodiversity conservation of coastal and marine ecosystems. ➢ Strengthen community-led coastal forest resource management. ➢ Reduce plastic pollution in rivers, estuaries, and the marine environment; and ➢ Enhance institutional and research capacity for coastal and marine resource management. The project is structured around five work packages (WP), each of which is implemented by a distinct partner, and, when necessary, by two partners, to achieve the outcomes. The WP are in the following areas: the protection of marine resources and biodiversity, the strengthening of community-led Statement of Requirements for Goods v1 March2024 management of coastal forests, the prevention of plastic litter in marine and estuary water bodies, the enhancement of institutional capacities for the research, monitoring, surveillance, and management of coastal and marine resources, and the last project management, coordination, and acceleration of impact. Under Work Package 2: Strengthen Community-led Management of Coastal Forests, the project aims to fully operationalize community based forest management in the prioritized coastal forest landscapes by providing comprehensive support in restoration, village land use planning including establishment of village land forest reserves, support community-based forest governance through strengthening natural resources governance and the creation of a community forest governance monitoring dashboards and promote sustainable green economy enterprises through the identification, strengthening and incubation of community-based organizations engaged in forest value chains. As part of this intervention, the project will support selected Green Economy Incubation (GEI) groups through a comprehensive package of assistance, including technical capacity-building, enterprise development support, access to appropriate technologies and structured incubation services to enhance productivity, value addition and market competitiveness. To facilitate value addition within the tree growing enterprise, the project intends to procure and distribute tools and equipment to selected GEI group(s) in Zanzibar. The equipment will enable beneficiary groups to strengthen nursery operations, expand the cultivation of Casuarina and other commercially viable tree species identified during the incubation process and improve plantation management practices, thereby increasing productivity, enhancing the quality and marketability of tree products and generating sustainable income opportunities.
