Lessons Learned

Explanation
The use of an improved firewood Cooking stove, to reduce the consumption of fire wood for energy purposes is ideal and very important in the conservation , management and protection of the Environment
The increased and Continued empowerment of community based Soils and Water resources’ management around the water Sources may bring an eventual change of behavior in the management of the natural resources
The use of women and women groups organizations in the Water services Management is a very Pivotal agenda of action that can Support the mass tree cutting
The empowerment of the local Media groups and enhancing of the rural media power and capacities in development and protection of the natural resources is very important in exposing the environmental tyranny and the destruction of the Environment and its Biodiversity

Challenges

ChallengeHow it was overcome
The Muheza District forest department refusal to cooperate in the project implementation after a corrupt deal between the local Government and individual business men allowing for the cutting down of Mvule trees ( the preserved Hard trees species) around the water source which was aired by the ITV and the TBC and which soon immediately brought the Ministry Department to visit the was area and which over 12 forest department officials involved were forced out of their Jobs was really heart shakingWe tried to address the issue as a national Threat , that needs the cooperation of all the stakeholders and especially major Stakeholders like the Forest Department, and we will continue empowering them on the need for a role playing in the fight against the mismanagement of the water resources
The increasing mass use of Fire wood for energy purposes by the local Community hinders proper protection and management of the Water resources’ Management.We introduced and will continue empowering the community on the use for locally made improved fire wood cooking stoves that reduces the mass cutting of trees For domestic energy
The Tree and Forest Burning is a common activity in these areas, and may be of a high magnitude and affect the general forest protection mechanisms, affects several water sourcesThe Organization empowered the local community and workshop participants on the need to have a more and enhanced community based efforts that take legal action on the unnecessary Burning Of Trees and forests
