Green Climate Fund Funding Proposal for Climate Resilience in Kigoma Region, Tanzania, dated 24 November 2023

This document is a Green Climate Fund (GCF) Funding Proposal (V.3.0), FP218, titled "Building climate resilience in the landscapes of Kigoma region, Tanzania," submitted by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) for the United Republic of Tanzania. The proposal is dated 24 November 2023 and references GCF Decision B.37/12. It is classified as a Public sector project targeting the Adaptation result area, specifically focusing on Most vulnerable people and communities (with 10% of GCF contribution allocated to this area based on the excerpt). The project addresses the significant climate challenges in Tanzania's Kigoma Region, where increased frequency and unpredictability of heavy rainfall lead to floods, and dry spells are expected to increase in frequency and severity. Rising average temperatures further stress limited surface water resources. These impacts threaten the livelihoods of both refugee and host communities who depend on rainfall and ecosystem services, in a region lacking adequate tools and resources to tackle these challenges effectively. The project's purpose is to bridge the gap between development, humanitarian, and climate efforts through an integrated landscape-level approach. Its scope includes creating land use plans, rehabilitating degraded ecosystems, and mainstreaming climate change adaptation measures into the region’s developmental plans and policies. The project aims to directly benefit over half a million vulnerable people, ensuring long-term community sustainability through clear land-use demarcation, increased provision of ecosystem services and land productivity, increased water availability for irrigation during dry periods, and improved food security via enhanced crop production. Key obligations for the project involve adhering to GCF Policies and Standards, including the GCF Information Disclosure Policy, as outlined in Section G of the proposal. Specific project implementation deadlines and external compliance dates are not detailed in this excerpt, but the proposal itself serves as a key report and planning document. Affected sectors include livelihoods, water resources and management, agriculture, land use planning, environmental management and rehabilitation, humanitarian aid, migration (refugee/host communities), and regional development planning. The primary regulation/statute names referenced are the GCF Policies and Standards, the GCF Information Disclosure Policy, and GCF Decision B.37/12.
