| Rural Women-Based Integrated Project in Ruvuma Region, Tanzania | | The Rural Women-Based Integrated Project in Ruvuma, Tanzania is a locally-driven resource management project funded by UNEP DEDC/PAC (Dryland Ecosystems & Desertification Control Programme Activity Centre) and AGFUND (Arab Gulf Fund for United Nations Development Organizations). The project was initiated by the United Women of Tanzania (UWT) and aims at helping the women to undertake environmental improvement activities in 18 villages in the Ruvuma Region in South Tanzania. The activities are directed towards tree planting, agroforestry, soil conservation and rehabilitation of water points in order to reduce the shortage of fuelwood, improve soil and water conservation. In this connection, the project facilitates the introduction of fruit trees plantations for the improvement of the nutritional status of the beneficiaries - women and children - and increase family income through the sale of production surpluses.
A series of workshops is planned to raise the environmental awareness among the women.
