  1. Key note on PES Initiatives in Tanzania for Improved Natural Resource Governance – Cassian Sianga

  2. TNRF initiatives Last year TNRF – TFWG coordinated a roundtable discussion on PES in Arusha where we had people from; • The field developing models • Researchers from UDSM and SUA • Private sector – linking sellers and buyers One of the recommendations from this meeting was to organize a second meeting and try to invite more people to share what we are doing.

  3. Progress • Most of the initiatives have been uncoordinated – project oriented • Work done is not shared with a wider audience as we are here now • Impact to natural resource governance is limited since the process of setting up the initiative is not known to most concerned • Benefits to rural communities who are owners of the resources is not clearly known

  4. Challenges • There are very few known projects in Tanzania being implemented which are known to many of us • Some of the few projects being implemented need a lot of investment in terms of capacity building etc. • Initially they need time to give products when beneficiaries (rural community) need immediate returns • These projects are scattered across the country • Involvement of community members in the design and implementation is not very clear • The linkage between sellers and buyers is not very transparent

  5. Way forward • Result of this meeting will provide the group with what to do next after all these issues which I have raised • One of the things that we can consider is setting a platform where we can share this information

  6. Aksanteni kwa kunisikiliza

  7. Way forward from the meeting plenary session • Input to draft REDD framework/potential for CSO’s to influence policy • TFWG to circulate framework electronic copy. • TFCG to follow up on formal input to framework • Nominate point person/org for full framework development process or increase point people (e.g. increase volume of input). Aim for 2 people. • Get someone on REDD technical committee (2 NGO (ask for another one), 1 private sector) • Focus on filling info gap areas linked to govt policy or admin decisions/strengthen links to govt • Maintain information flow from local projects to the group and beyond (into national and international policy processes) • Improve inventory of who’s doing what in PES initiatives (e.g. other private initiatives e.g. Green Resources) (Marc and Selemani to develop list of other private initiatives and share back to group) • Find the DANISH woman doing consultancy for DPG on what is going on in climate change work etc (Simon assigned) • Need a timetable summary of overall REDD process at international/national level • Other NGO’s/CSO’s working on carbon issues in other landscapes (wetlands, rangelands etc)?
