About the project
The Yaeda-Eyasi Landscape REDD project strengthens land tenure, management capacity and local natural resource management in Hadza hunter-gatherer and Tatoga pastoralist communities in Northern Tanzania, contributing to local and international conservation aims.
Successful avoided deforestation is achieved through a series of interventions in Mongo Wa Mono, Domanga and Yaeda Chini village, including reinforcing the implementation of the approved village land use plan and associated village by-laws, improving forest conservation and management activities and addressing the primary driver of deforestation, shifting agriculture.
When carbon revenue is received, it provides training on how to handle maternal and childbirth issues, how to raise a family, and the overall level of education has increased significantly. Lots of children are now attending school, many are getting better nutrition, and women are going to the hospital to have their babies safely.
