EFLOWS INCEPTION WORKSHOP PROCEEDINGS 29th JULY, 2021

Inception Workshop Report

The Environmental Flows Assessment (EFA) concept has been adopted in Tanzania with guidelines and procedures prepared at the national level, but are yet to be operationalized. Lack of awareness among practitioners and stakeholders at the basin and local levels has been reported to be one of the major setbacks for operationalization. This calls for capacity building and awareness creation of stakeholders in the Rufiji River Basin to fully embrace and operationalize EFA.

In this regards, NEMC and SUA developed a project titled “Sustainable Catchment Management through Enhanced Environmental Flow Assessment and Implementation for the Protection of the Western Indian Ocean from Land-based Sources and Activities in Tanzania (EFLOWS)” which is funded by the United Nation Environment Programme (UNEP) through the Western Indian Ocean Strategic Action Programme (WIOSAP).

The project aims to reduce impacts/stress from land-based sources and activities and sustainably manage critical coastal-riverine ecosystems through Environmental Flow Assessment and implementation.

NEMC and SUA as the project coordinators in collaboration with others stakeholders conducted an inception workshop to officiate and introduce the project to the community around the study locations. The workshop was held at the Rufiji River Basin sub-office in Rujewa, Mbarali catchment office, Mbeya Region on 29^th July, 2021.
