The latest Igunga eco-village fact sheet. The project falls under GGCA Tanzania.

The eco-village approach that is used in Igunga district is an holistic approach. It integrates interventions in a range of sectors (water, energy, agriculture and livestock, gender, HIV/Aids) in order to sustainably improve climate change resilience and reduce poverty. The project is community driven: farmers and local authority staff are trained on a range of different climate change adaptation strategies, of which they can choose and implement the most appropriate ones.

Learning and dissemination of lessons learned is an important aspect of this project. Best practices are shared amongst the project participants and to the outside world, such as policy makers in Tanzania and other (international) development practitioners.
