Fostering Resilience in Tanzanian Communities Through Inclusive Climate Information Services

Mahadia Tunga of the Tanzania Data Lab in Tanzania will support women and youth running small and medium enterprises to integrate current information on climate change, enabling them to make data-driven decisions for more sustainable agricultural practices in Tanzania. After assessing the local needs for this information by relevant enterprises, they will design and implement training programs, including through on-line materials and in-person workshops. They will also create an accelerator program to identify and support new enterprises with a focus on climate adaptation strategies. This set of support will engage women and youth, building a community around navigating the challenges of climate change in Tanzania and piloting a model of support that could be replicated more broadly.
