closed

The Tanzania Marine and Coastal Environment Management Project aims to strengthen the sustainable management and use of the Borrower's Exclusive Economic Zone, territorial seas, and coastal resources resulting in enhanced revenue collection, reduced threats to the environment, better livelihoods for participating coastal communities living in the Coastal Districts, and improved institutional arrangements. The project consists of the following components: Component 1) will establish and implement a common governance regime for the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) that contributes to the long-term sustainable use and management of EEZ resources. Component 2) will establish and support a comprehensive system of managed marine areas in the Territorial Seas, building on Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) strategies that empower and benefit coastal communities. Component 3) will empower coastal communities to access opportunities so that they can request, implement and monitor sub-projects that contribute to improved livelihoods and sustainable marine ecosystem management. Component 4) will provide efficient project implementation services.
