The Simiyu Climate Resilience Project is planned to be carried out in a maximum of five years and in any case needs to be implemented before August 9, 2025.
he Simiyu Region is largely affected by climate change. Impacts include profound changes in water availability, temperature stresses to people, livestock and crops, changes in public health, farming practices, income, food security and ecology. Climate models predict a further intensification of dry seasons, but also unpredictable intense rains and floods, posing a significant threat to livelihoods, especially amongst the poor. The Simiyu Climate Resilience Project has the objective to increase the climate resilience of rural and urban households, particularly small-scale farmers and women living in the Simiyu Region, and to improve policies and regulations for cross-sectoral action towards climate change adaptation.
