SECTION II: BACKGROUND AND PROJECT CONTRIBUTION TO OVERALL SUBPROGRAMME IMPLEMENTATION
BACKGROUND NATIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES 1. The United Republic of Tanzania is located on the East coast of Africa between parallels 10S and 120S and meridians 300E and 400E. It extends from Lake Tanganyika in the West, to the Indian Ocean in the East; Lake Victoria in the North, to Lake Nyasa and River Ruvuma in the South. It borders Kenya and Uganda in the North, Rwanda and Burundi in the North-west, Democratic Republic of Congo to the West, Zambia to the South-west and Malawi and Mozambique to the South. 2. Mainland Tanzania has an area of about 939,702 square kilometres and the Islands of Zanzibar and Pemba, in the Indian Ocean, occupy an area of 2,643 square kilometres. The average temperature is between 200C and 320C. Average annual rainfall is approximately ranges from 600mm to 1,800mm per year under normal conditions and depending on the elevation of a place from sea level. The average duration of the dry season is 5 to 6 months. 3. Tanzania has numerous vegetation cover and biodiversity,also is known for its marine diversity, which hosts a wide variety of terrestrial flora and fauna, including many endemics. The numerous ecosystems found in country provide many goods and services that are crucial to rural communities dependent upon food, fiber, fuel and energy, medicines, clean water, as well as the spiritual, aesthetic, and recreational values derived from nature. 4. The stocktaking exercise showed that, since the completion of the Initial National Communication (INC), Tanzania has implemented several climate change related project activities, which are geared to reduce the adverse effects of climatic variability and climate change. Tanzania has experienced several natural weather events that have been particularly severe. These events such as extreme drought to three quarters of the country in 2004 – 2005, have had significant effects on the natural and economic environments of the country. It was agreed during the stocktaking exercise that these changes will be highlighted in the SNC. The stocktaking/assessment exercise for thematic areas relevant to the preparation of SNC was undertaken as starting point for preparation of this proposal. 5. The government and non-government agencies that will be involved in the development and/or updating of some information and data for the SNC National Circumstances, among others, will include the Division of Environment, Vice President‟s Office, Tanzania Meteorology Agency (TMA), Ministry of Energy and Minerals, Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism, the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Water, the CEEST Foundation, the Environmental Protection Management Services (EPMS), etc.
LINKAGE WITH INITIAL NATIONAL COMMUNICATION (INC)
6. Tanzania ratified the UN Framework on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and subsequently acceded to the Kyoto Protocol to this Convention on April, 1996 and February, 2003, respectively. Tanzania officially submitted her Initial National Communication to the UNFCCC on February, 2003. During the development and following the completion of the INC, Tanzania has made effort in creating public awareness on climate change issues within relevant sectors and agencies, thereby trying to mainstream and integrate climate change issues across all sectors of government. The National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA) process which has just been completed will enable Tanzania to further integrate adaptation issues in the development process. 7. Tanzania‟s commitment to sustainably managing its natural resources is further demonstrated by its management of obligations as a Party to many other Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs). Such agreements include on the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and its Biosafety protocol, the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, Ozone Depletion, and the UN Convention Combating Desertification (UNCCD), among others. 8. In compliance with its obligations as a non-Annex I Party to the UNFCCC, the United Republic of Tanzania intends to prepare its Second National Communication (SNC). The proposed activities in the SNC will built upon the work initiated in the INC and the gaps identified in the stocktaking exercise. In view of this, the project will pay special attention to addressing the gaps and constraints identified during the preparation of the INC and the stocktaking exercise. PROJECT OBJECTIVES, ACTIVITIES, AND INDICATORS 9. The proposed project will assist the Government of the Tanzania in implementing activities needed to enable the country to prepare its SNC, following the revised guidelines adopted by the Conference of the Parties at its Eighth Session (decision 17/CP8). 10. The proposed project is in line with Tanzania‟s national sustainable development goals, strategies and objectives. Tanzania is committed to cooperate with other agencies and countries to ensure that the environment is conserved. In this context all the national strategies which are adopted by the Government embrace environmental management so as attain sustainable development. In view of this, Tanzania adopted national strategy on poverty reduction and economic growth (NSGRP), popularly known as MKUKUTA in Kiswahili (for Mainland Tanzania) and MKUZA (for Zanzibar) in 2005. The two strategies among other things reiterate the importance of poverty reduction and environment management for all sectors of the economy in Tanzania. 11. Tanzania has just completed the preparation of the NAPA, climate change Technology Needs Assessment (TNA), and National Capacity Needs Self Assessment (NCSA) is about to start. These projects aim at the assessing the capacity of the country to implement the three Rio conventions namely UNFCCC, UNCCD and CBD. In addition, Tanzania has already adopted the National Biosafety Framework and developed national guidelines for the management of GMO‟s, invasive alien species, that promotes sustainably managing and/or protecting Tanzania‟s natural resources and human health.
12. In view of the above, the SNC, which is the main output of this project, as well as activities for improvement of Tanzania‟s capacities to implement the UNFCCC provisions, will directly contribute to the country‟s ability to implement the Vision 2025, MKUKUTA/MKUZA, NAPA, and the Environmental Management Act (EMA, 2004). 13. At the national level, the proposed project will develop synergies with on-going enabling activities such as Tanzania‟s National Capacity Self Assessment, National Action Programme (NAP) to the UN Convention to Combat Desertification, Development of Tanzania‟s Third National Report on Biodiversity to the Convention on Biological Diversity, and the Stockholm Convention on POPs National Implementation Plan. At the sub-regional and regional levels, Tanzania is participating in a number of cross border project such as Lake Victoria Environmental Management Programme, the Nile Basin Initiate (NBI) project, Lake Tanganyika Biodiversity Conservation Project and Southern Africa Energy Sector development Programme. 14. The project will engage local and, where necessary, regional and international expertise to assist in the project implementation. The project will make use of linkages and cooperation with other ongoing climate change and relevant environment projects that are addressing the national development priorities, and will strengthen the dialogue, information exchange and cooperation among all the relevant stakeholders including governmental, non-governmental, academia, and private sectors. By doing so, it is expected that climate change related issues would be accorded higher priority on the national agenda and ensuring its further integration in national planning and development strategy formulation processes in the country. 15. The project will make use of the capacity built and institutional arrangements that were initiated during the development of the Initial National Communication (INC), preparation of NAPA, TNA and other enabling activities already undertaken in Tanzania. However, capacity building and public awareness activities will still form part of the project and will be provided through training workshops and information exchange between the national and relevant regional and international institutions. This is to augment the existing capacity, as well as address capacity gaps that were identified during the stocktaking exercise, TNA, NAPA process and in the ongoing NCSA and other regional climate change mitigation projects. PROJECT OBJECTIVES 16. This project aims at enabling Tanzania to prepare and report its Second National Communication to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) according to decision 17/CP8 and other guidance provided. It will be a follow up of previous studies already identified under a stocktaking exercise 17. The proposed project also aims to strengthen the technical and institutional capacity of Tanzania in preparing and submitting its Second National Communication to the UNFCCC thereby meeting its obligations under the convention. 18. The project helps to identify and to the extent feasible, develop projects related to climate change and mitigation of greenhouse gases; projects which may be eligible also for further funding or co-funding by GEF other multilateral or bilateral organizations and eligible for funding under Clean Development Mechanism
19. In addition, the project will contribute to enhance general awareness and knowledge on climate change related issues in Tanzania, and to strengthen the dialogue, information exchange and cooperation among all the relevant stakeholders including governmental, nongovernmental, academic, and private sectors in accordance to the Article 6 of the UNFCCC and Implementation of Buenos Aires Plan of Action. 20. To assist Tanzania to fill the gaps and address limitations which were identified in INC, TNA, NAPA and the stocktaking processes. PROJECT ACTIVITIES NATIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES 21. Information provided on National Circumstances under Tanzania‟s INC was relevant to the thematic areas covered by National Communication, aiming at giving a clear and full picture of geography, climate, natural resources, relevant economic sectors, resources and infrastructure. In addition, Tanzania‟s TNA and NAPA provides some updates of the sectors relevant to National Communication process. Given that the inventory base year was the year 1990, the relevant inventory sectors were analyzed around this year. For majority of sectors /areas the reporting time frame was around 1990 although there were many cases that due to the lack of data and information the analysis was made for fewer years (1988-1990). The information provided so far on National Circumstances lacks country development context; sector profile including policy and legal framework description of institutional arrangements relevant to the preparation of NC on regular basis. Knowing the very drastic nature of change of many of relevant economic sectors in the course of the years 1995-2002, there is a strong need to update the sectors profiles, especially for energy, transport, agriculture, land use change and forestry (LUCF,) industrial processes and waste management for such a time frame. 22. This activity will crosscut among other activities. Each team will be responsible in providing relevant national circumstances section, which will be summarized at the end. Referring to decision 17/CP8, the National Circumstances chapter under Tanzania‟s SNC shall contain updated and additional information on all items as indicated by this decision. The geographic profile might need only some minor additions such as share of land covered by surface water, international waters that Tanzania shares with other neighbors and update on population changes and distribution during the recent years. 23. There is a need to update the climate profile with recent extreme weather events and data on temperature and precipitation for the period 1995-2002, which is additional to the INC baseline (1951-1980). As per the natural resources the majority of the updated information will be provided on forests, pastures and land use change along with the most recent legal and policy framework. The review and update of the information on economic and sector profile will mainly consist on the update regarding the newly adopted strategies such as PRSP, MDGs, National Energy Strategy, National Strategy for Development of Industry Sector, Strategy for Development of Agriculture, and Strategy for Development of Tourism etc. Update of the information on infrastructure such as: population; public health; education; environment will consist on the update of the new trends of development for each item under this section. The information on institutional arrangements relevant to the implementation of the UNFCCC and preparation of NC would be quite new as it was also missing to the Tanzania‟s INC.
24. Information on national circumstances will include analysis of national and regional development priorities and objectives that Tanzania is pursuing and those that would serve as the basis for addressing climate change and poverty reduction and sustainable economic growth issues. The information to be provided to the SNC on National Circumstances is considered as critical to understand the net amount of GHG emissions, prediction of such emissions for a time horizon, and assessment the vulnerability of climate change and adaptation options in Tanzania as it is explained in the stock taking exercise. Therefore, the information on National Circumstances will clearly be linked to the information to be provided in the following chapters of the SNC. Therefore, all these chapters, sections and subsections will refer back to the national situation and development of priorities as explained in the stocking taking report. The Information will include: i. ii. iii. iv. Geographic profile; Climate profile: temperature; precipitation; Natural resources: water resources (surface water, ground water, marine water); forests; land use, biological and ecosystem diversity; Economic and sector profile: agriculture; livestock; energy (energy consumption and energy supply); mining; transport (road, railway, marine, air); industry; tourism; fisheries; Infrastructure: population; public health; education; environment (state of environment, environmental legislation, institutional framework, public awareness on environment); and Institutional arrangements relevant to the implementation of the UNFCCC and national communication preparation process.

Outcomes and Indicators National circumstances reviewed, updated and described. GREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORY PREVIOUS ACTIVITIES 25. Tanzania„s Initial GHG inventory covers all sources and sinks as well as all gases as mandated by 10/CP2. Estimates of key sources were provided as well. In addition, indicators such as CO2/GDP and CO2/Capita were not estimated mainly for comparability purposes. Estimates were made for the base year 1990. Time series (1988-1990) were used only for the category of CO2 emissions from fuel combustion. All activity data concerning each sector were national. As regards emission factors, in most of the cases they represent default factors provided by IPCC Guidelines. The major technical constraint that has faced the inventory process is related to the activity data gaps, which has brought a high uncertainty level of estimates. Activity data gaps have mainly been related to the data availability (disaggregated activity data or inconsistency with IPCC format) and their variability after„90s. In most of the cases, activity data reported were at aggregate form or inconsistent with the IPCC format. Lack of reporting from the private sector due to the lack of respective legislation was identified as a significant constraint for data gathering. 26. Attempts to improve the quality of GHG inventory have been made through the TNA project under UNEP-GEF funding. A national strategy aiming at improvement of quality of GHG inventories will be drafted. The strategy will focus on activity data collection and identification of methods/approaches for reducing the activity data gaps. A plan that can be put in place for SNC will be drafted as well. It will consist on the development of a soft methodology for filling the Activity data gaps that would be implemented during the SNC preparation. Survey method stands in the heart of such methodology. It will be used for priority categories selected from the key source analysis in order to fill the activity data gaps, which do not exist in disaggregate form. This is the case for enteric fermentation, fuel combustion in industry, mobile sources, fuel wood and solid wastes. 27. Tanzania‟s first GHG inventory covered all sources and sinks as well as all gases as mandated by decision 10/CP.2. However, the INC and the outcomes of the stocktaking exercise indicate that the Tanzania‟s primary source of GHG emissions (CO2) was derived from the deforestation and agriculture management activities. These activities manifest themselves in different forms such need for wood energy and subsistence agricultural and other land management practices. It also showed that the data generated by the energy sector is reasonably good, however, only total figures were provided but the analysis of sub-sector were was not done. Therefore, the major technical constraints that faced the GHG inventory process is related to the activity data gaps and use of default emission factors that did not reflect the country situation. Tanzania‟s second national GHG inventory will contain six modules/sectors such as energy, agriculture, waste, LULUCF, industrial processes and solvents. Thus estimates of the key sources, sensitivity analysis and uncertainty level will be provided in this regard. The second GHG inventory will report on estimates of aggregated GHG emissions and removals expressed in CO2 equivalent. In addition, indicators such as CO2/GDP and CO2/Capita will be estimated mainly for comparability purposes. However, other sectors such as waste
management and transport, emissions will also be estimated. It was also agreed by the stakeholders during the consultative workshop that an assessment of data stream collection methods will be conducted to determine capacity development needs within each sector. 28. For each thematic area different agencies / sectors will be involved. The agencies that will be involved in the second national communication (SNC) in undertaking the GHG Inventory will include among others, the Ministry Energy and Minerals, the Ministry of Natural resources and Tourism, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Cooperatives, the Ministry of Livestock Development , the National Bureau of Statistics, The Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Health and Social Development, the Tanzania Electricity Supply Company (TANESCO), the National Environment Management Council (NEMC), the CEEST Foundation, EPMS, Sokoine University of Agriculture, The Institute of Resource Assesment (IRA), University of Dar es Salaam, and TIRDO 29. GHG inventory is a key component of a national communication, which will also form the basis for climate change mitigation measures and policy options. Thus a reliable and accurate GHG inventory will also be useful for developing appropriate baseline for emission reduction and other national planning purposes. PROPOSED ACTIVITIES 30. On the basis of the previous inventory, the SNC inventory will report on estimates made on a gas-by gas basis. As pointed out in the stocking exercise report, inventory during the SNC preparation will consider the three direct GHGs namely: CO2, CH4 and N2O and other indirect GHGs such as: CO, NOx, SOx and NMVOC for the base year 2000, but a time series of eight year from 1995 to 2002 will be also be developed in the above named sectors. In addition, estimates of HFCs, PFCs and SF6 will be provided, which also was not reported under the Tanzania‟s INC. Emissions released from bunker fuels will also be estimated and reported separately as instructed by the guidelines. Inventory will be done using the IPCC 1996 Revised Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. 31. In addition a key-source analysis will be carried out to determine the other sectors with significant emissions where resources can be targeted. This activity will include training in and capacity building on the use and application of the IPCC 1996 Revised Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories, the IPCC Good Practice Guidance on National Greenhouse Gas Inventories and Uncertainty Management, and the IPCC Good Practice Guidance on Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry and related applications of geographic information systems and remote sensing techniques. Also CORINAIR will be used for solvent category. Both approaches (reference and sectoral) will be used to estimate emissions and assess whether there will be a difference in results and if that is will be the case explanations will be provided. Detailed method of “Tier 2” will be applied to the extent possible for all sectors where detailed activity data will be available. 32. Furthermore, emissions of methane and nitrous oxide from international bunkers and aviation will also be estimated for the year 2000 and a 8 year (1995-2002) time series be developed accordingly. The activity data of hydro fluorocarbons (HFCs), per
fluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) will also be collected for the same year where available. 33. An improved emission factor of CO2 emission/sink from/to soils in Land-Use Change and Forestry in the sub-Saharan/Eastern African region with similar conditions to Tanzania will be assessed and identified, as well as methane emission factor from agricultural soils, with a view of reducing the uncertainties and enhancing the data quality in these sources and sinks. 34. As one of the aims of this component is to improve the GHG inventory, quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) procedures based on the IPCC Good Practice Guidance and Uncertainty Management in National Greenhouse Gases Inventories will be applied on all categories, so as to ensure that the results of the inventory are as reliable as possible and comparable with other countries. 35. A database for carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4) oxides of nitrogen (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVoC) and sulphur dioxide (SO2), will be updated/developed during the inventory work. A new database of hydrofluorocarbon (HFCs), perfluorocarbon (PFCs) sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) will be established, as appropriate. Data from international bunker fuels will be provided and will not be included in the national totals but will be produced separately as per guidelines. In order to facilitate ease of comparison between sectors, global warming potentials of IPCC (1995) will be applied to the aggregate emissions to determine relative importance of direct GHG. An efficient and user-friendly database system will be developed for these gases and their emission factors for ease of archiving, updating and maintenance. 36. Tables 1 and 2, provided by the UNFCCC Guidelines (Annex to decision 17/CP.8) and the IPCC software for estimating emissions will be used for reporting the national GHG inventory. This activity will be coordinated with any sub-regional/regional efforts wherever possible. 37. A national workshop involving all relevant stakeholders will be held to review the results. The involvement and participation of relevant stakeholders including policy makers will help to enhance their awareness on the importance of GHG inventory and its consideration in national development planning and for building a long-term program and cooperation on the improvement of future GHG inventories. 38. The Thematic Working Group of Experts (TWGE) on GHG Inventory will undertake the inventory work. The Project Coordinator will prepare the terms of reference (ToRs) for the thematic working groups. It is anticipated that capacity of the group will be strengthened through their participation. However, initial training will be given to the group before the undertaking of inventory exercise so as to enlighten experts on the process. Further training of the group will be conducted on the use application of IPCC methodology, including data collection, analysis and management, as well as on the IPCC Good Practice Guidance and Uncertainty Management in National GHG Inventories.

CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION 40. The stakeholders who participated in the stocktaking exercise agreed that although Tanzania is not required to take on emission reduction commitments, voluntary undertaking of climate change mitigation and assessment could provide ancillary benefits for sustainable development, such as particulate pollution reduction, increase in technological efficiency and effectiveness, improvements in the health, security and safety, availability of security of power supply, reduction in air pollution and road congestion when a shift from private to mass public transport takes place succeed, increase of economic growth, reduction in poverty particularly in the rural areas, increase in employment resulting from mitigation projects and thus can lead to sustainable development. In view of the above, Tanzania has developed a national CDM guide to attract mitigation projects from Annex I Parties. Furthermore, Tanzania is undertaking a greenhouse gas mitigation project in the transport sector. This programme involves a development of Dar es Salaam Bus Rapid Transit system DART, with improvement of infrastructure as well as transport technology. This is in line with the findings of the Technology Needs Assessment whereby it was proposed that technological intervention in the public transport could lead to significant achievements of energy savings, efficiency as well as other environmental gains by producing on average, 95% less carbon monoxide, 90% less volatile organic compounds and about 45% less carbon dioxide and nitrogen dioxide per passenger per kilometer. The programme is supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the United
Nations Environment Programme‟s Global Environment Facility (UNEP/GEF). This initiative will be taken on board in the SNC as one of mitigation option. 41. The SNC process will include an assessment and progress report on the programs and activities recommended within the Climate Change Mitigation section of the INC. In order to accomplish this and to continue with self-reviews in the future, capacity building activities will be implemented. PREVIOUS ACTIVITIES 42. The mitigation analysis under Tanzania‟s INC covered technological and nontechnological options in various sectors, including, the energy sector covering energy forecasts and energy supply options, where technologies which minimize emissions replaced the emitting technologies in the baseline. In the industrial energy use demand side analysis and energy efficiency options were identified. Industrial process options were from cement and pulp and paper production where technological interventions in the production process to minimize emissions were identified. The transport sector covered demand side and energy efficiency analysis. The agricultural sector had options ranging from reducing methane emission from rice cultivation and reduction of methane from ruminant animal feeding, production as well as manure management. In the forestry sector carbon sequestration options were identified through aforestation and reforestration. These mitigation options were costed wherever possible for determining incremental costs and ranking was done using multi-criteria analysis. 43. GHG mitigation measures / technology options identified have undergone a prioritization process in the Tanzania‟s TNA exercise. The TNA was a continuation of the work carried out under Tanzania‟s INC and other related activities. This assessment of technology needs has been made through a sector-by-sector approach, covering energy, LUCF, transport, agriculture, waste management and industrial processes. A range of technologies has been selected. Designing a package of project ideas for the key technologies was part of the TNA exercise. 44. Mitigation assessment under the SNC will build on the mitigation analysis done in the INC and would entail the generation of baseline and mitigation scenarios using more current information on the national development. On the basis of the information, analysis of the potential costs and impacts of the various technologies and practices to mitigate climate change would be carried out. The information to be generated will be relevant for sustainable development and useful for policy makers, and will also help formulate and prioritize mitigation programs in Tanzania‟s planning process. 45. The key stakeholders that will be participating include the Vice President‟s Office, Division of Environment, the Ministry of Energy and Minerals, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism, the Ministry of Finance, the National Environment Management Council, the Tanzania Bureau of standards, the Tanzania Investment Centre (TIC), TIRDO, TANESCO, CEEST Foundation, EPMS, the Ministry of Regional Administration and Local Government, Ministry of Planning, Economy and Empowerment, COSTECH, Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA), University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM).
PROPOSED ACTIVITIES 46. In order for Tanzania to undertake mitigation assessment as part of its development strategy, the Thematic Group of Experts on Mitigation, will carry out a number of pertinent activities: (i) (ii) Updating information used in the mitigation analysis in the INC; Collection, collation, analysis and archiving of data for the different sectors of the economy, where appropriate and relevant;
(iii) Training and capacity building for national experts and institutions to undertake the preparation of the mitigation assessment; (iv) Training of personnel in the use of methods, models and tools for the generation of climate and socioeconomic scenarios, at both the national and sectoral levels; and (v) Preparation of mitigation project concept notes for further development and subsequent funding, including CDM projects.
47. Training and capacity building is required in the use of appropriate technologies, methodologies and tools for assessment of mitigations options and development of mitigation scenarios particularly in sectors with significant mitigation potential such energy, forestry and agriculture. 48. Several methods and models that may be used in mitigation assessment, ranging from a broad description of main development trends and statistics to formalized modeling at sector and macro-economic levels. Many of these methods and models are provided in a number of technical resource such as Technologies, Policies and Measures for Mitigating Climate Change (IPCC Technical Paper I); Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Assessment: A Guidebook by the U.S. Country Studies Program and Climate Change 2001: Mitigation (Contribution of Working Group III to the Third Assessment Report of the IPCC). Given the importance of the energy sector (including transport) in terms of emissions, models such as LEAP, COPATH, COMAP, and MARKAL will be used to undertake mitigation assessment. 49. Based on the above analyses, a draft National Mitigation Plan will be developed. The Plan will most likely highlight the barriers for adopting cleaner technologies, as well as for promoting cleaner production and consumption. Appropriate mitigation projects will also be identified for bilateral and multilateral funding, including CDM window. Mechanisms will be explored to promote the participation of private sector in mitigation measures since they can play a significant role in developing CDM projects. However, public-private sector partnership will be encouraged. 50. At the end of the proposed activities, a national workshop will be held to review the results and the draft National Mitigation Strategy for GHG Emission Reduction. Policy makers and other stakeholders will be invited to participate in the workshop, so as to enhance their awareness on the importance of GHG mitigation in terms of sustainable development. 51. The capacity-building for the Mitigation Working Group on the application of the above-mentioned methodologies and models, including data collection, analysis and
management, will be further strengthened and enhanced. Training workshop on the application of macro-economic models and relevant energy models will be organized with the assistance of both national and, where appropriate, regional or international consultants as well as the use of experts from the UN agencies. 52. The Project Coordinator will formulate ToRs for the thematic working group and the consultants. OUTPUTS AND INDICATORS 53. The major outputs and indicators of this Component will be: (i) (ii) Generation of important baseline data for key socio-economic sectors required for assessing GHG mitigation options; An assessment of mitigation options for key socio-economic sectors based on established methodologies, including possible least-cost mitigation options and environmentally-friendly mitigation technologies; A draft Mitigation report including appropriate legal and economic instruments, and public-private partnerships for mitigation measures; Strengthened human, scientific, technical and institutional capacity for mitigation assessment, including CDM projects; Identification of constraints and specific financial, technical and institutional needs for capacity-building on mitigation and renewable energy technologies and on the development of mitigation measures and strategies; The National stakeholders review workshop report, including major conclusions and recommendations. Well formulated ToRs for the working group and the consultant.

ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGE PREVIOUS ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF INC, TNA & NAPA 54. The very initial and modest assessment of Tanzania‟s climate vulnerability and adaptation options was carried out under US Country Studies Programme in 1996, which covered the Tanzania‟s coastal resources, agriculture, forestry, water resources, human health and climate change scenario. A more completed assessment followed the initial one, already carried out as part of Tanzania‟s INC, and one sector was added i.e., wildlife and biodiversity. The study covered the vulnerability and adaptation measures for the overall Tanzanian territory. As a climatologic baseline a 30-years „normal period‟ was used. The period 1951-1980 was selected as a baseline to study the influence of climate on the relevant sectors. 55. The assessment of vulnerabilities and adaptation was guided by IPCC, OECD, USCSP guidelines. The scenarios of likely impact of climate change were assessed by GCM software. Other tools were used for impact assessment such as experimentation, impact projections, empirical analogue studies and expert judgment. A simple statistical model (Water Balance model) was used in the runoff assessment. For the rest of sectors, statistical models were developed or empirical analogues were used. The need to use socio-economic scenarios or integrated system models were highly stressed. All
climatologically data were received from the Tanzania Meteorological Agency (TMA) Data regarding relevant sectors were received from other relevant institutions/ministries. However, the team lacked data from systematic monitoring. In addition the study lacked proper guidance from UNFCCC, simulation of extreme weather events and cost benefit analysis. 56. The vulnerability assessment conducted during the development of the Initial National Communication indicated that Tanzania is highly sensitive to the impacts of climate changes and variability. Furthermore, as indicated in the stocking exercise report and the NAPA document, the vulnerabilities to climate variability and change, range from shortage of water resources in some areas and coastal erosion and infectious diseases (malaria) as well as impacts on crop production in some parts of the country. However, it is unfortunately that these findings have not generated adequate understanding amongst all key stakeholders and decision-makers in Tanzania on how these effects are linked with climate change. On the other hand, significant work has been undertaken since the completion of the INC to assist Tanzania address issues of climate change in various sectors. The predecessor exercise to the SNC, i.e stocktaking exercise reviewed the work that has been done since the development of the INC, TNA and NAPA processes. PROPOSED ACTIVITIES FOR THE SNC 57. The thematic expert team on adaptation agreed to narrow the focus of the assessment to be carried out under the SNC to an area with subset of vulnerabilities, where there is both high vulnerability and a likelihood of significant impacts of climate change and vulnerability. The focused area along with the sectors under analysis will comprise a compound system that will be under the focus of analysis. The assessment will include key sectors and review means to implement the V & A recommendations or further enhance activities already being implemented. 58. Based on previous work, an integrated vulnerability assessment is to be undertaken for key socio-economic sectors, agriculture, land-use change and forestry, water resources, coastal zones and ecosystems, health, fisheries, biodiversity, food security, public infrastructure, and tourism. In order to decide which area of Tanzania will be selected, the thematic working group will use list of three specific areas already identified in the stocktaking exercise for the subset of vulnerabilities. 59. Updated and new version of relevant global and/or regional circulation models will be used to construct new climate change scenarios for Tanzania. Where possible, integrated assessment modeling may be used to assess the impacts of climate change in Tanzania. Based on these quantitative analyses, appropriate cost-effective adaptation options and measures will be identified and assessed. The impacts of climate change on national development strategies; plans and programs will be evaluated. Appropriate policy options will be identified and developed for response strategies. 60. There are several possible climate change impacts of significance to Tanzania, however, during the stocktaking exercise it was agreed that the assessment of vulnerability will consider the following related sectors, such as: (i) water resources; (ii) agriculture; (iii) energy; (iv) forestry; (v) wildlife and tourism; (vi) land use and human settlement (vii) health and (viii), Coastal resources. A special attention will be put to the
integrated assessment for example water resources shortage in relation to irrigation, drought, food security, energy production, forests (land degradation) etc, as it is known that adaptation in one sector often has consequences for others therefore, an integrated assessment will be done at the extent possible. 61. It was agreed by the stakeholders during the stocktaking exercise that, the vulnerability and adaptation assessment should cover all important agro ecological zones in Tanzania, in order to develop a bottom up approach for new climate change scenarios using some case studies conducted in Tanzania. This will take into account an interesting topographic diversity such as mountains, field plain and seashore. This approach will be additional to what was undertaken in TNA and NAPA, which was at national level (topdown approach). 62. In addition, the V&A assessment in water sector apart from looking at the impact on surface run-off but also will assess climate change impacts on hydro energy potential, because hydro power account for the bulk of Tanzania‟s hydroelectric potential. Given the dependence of the Tanzania‟s electricity supply to hydro sources (more than 95 % is being generated from hydro sources), climate change is expected to affect seasonally the amount and flow of rivers, which in turn are expected to affect electricity supply generated annually by hydroelectric and its timing. According to the climate change scenarios developed for Tanzania under the INC, climate is expected to become hotter and drier and hydroelectric power generation could be reduced virtually year-round. Referring to INC findings, and recent extreme drought in 2005/6 reduction in natural water runoff may bring about a reduction in power generation, whereas an increase was projected to cause an increase in generation. Three baselines will be developed for the selected sector: (i) climate baseline; (ii) environmental baseline and (iii) socio-economic baseline. 63. As pointed in the previous paragraphs, although a lot of information has been generated in the area of vulnerability and adaptation assessments during the INC and other projects, a lot of gaps still exist in the area of data collection, monitoring, expertise, skills and know-how required to conduct vulnerability and adaptation assessments on a continuous basis. Therefore there is an urgent need for training and capacity building in the following areas: 64. Use of appropriate methodologies and tools for conducting vulnerability and adaptation assessments at the community, national, and sectoral levels. The training would include downscaling of global circulation models to reflect projected changes in specific sectors and or communities within timeframes that are relevant and appropriate for decision-making in the local conditions. This should lead to an assessment of the climate variability and climate change in Tanzania, including their trends and impacts. 65. Strengthen existing, and where appropriate develop data management systems to ensure that a vulnerability and adaptation assessment is carried out on continuous basis. (i) (ii) Evaluation (including cost-benefit analysis), prioritization and costing of adaptation options, strategies and measures. Incorporation of vulnerability and adaptation assessment work into development planning including risk-based assessment methods.
(iii) Collection, analysis and dissemination of data and information on research and systematic observation in accordance with Article 5 of the UNFCCC. (iv) Integrating climate change issues in sustainable development planning processes in Tanzania. 66. Designing of an Adaptation Policy Paper for the selected area by using the extent possible the Adaptation Policy Framework (APF) and respective Technical Papers will be the main outcome of the vulnerability and adaptation exercise under the SNC. The strategy paper will outline adaptation measures and plans of implementation (what); the way of implementation and resources needed (how); time frame (when); responsible parties for its implementation (who). It will serve as the basic document that will create the momentum for a follow-up of this process, i.e. addressing climate variability and change to the national planning and policy. This will be additional to what has been done in INC, TNA and NAPA, however, more information will be used from NAPA output under prioritized activities. 67. At the end of the V&A assessment, a national stakeholders‟ workshop will be held to review the results and the draft report that is built on the priority areas indicated in the NAPA, TNA, and stocktaking reports. Policy makers and other stakeholders will be invited to participate in the workshop so as to enhance their awareness on the various adaptation options, which should be taken into consideration in national development planning. 68. The agencies that will be involved in this process include the Ministry of Natural Resource and Tourism, the Vice President‟s Office, Division of Environment, Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Cooperatives, the Prime Minister‟s Office-Department of Disaster Management and the Ministry of Regional Administration and Local Government, The Institute of Resource Assessment, University of Dar es salaam, SUA, the Ministry of Health, the National Environment Management Council, the Tanzania Metrological Agency (TMA), the CEEST Foundation, EPMS, Journalist Environment of Tanzania (JET) etc. 69. The Project Coordinator (CEEST Foundation & EPMS) will formulate ToRs for thematic working group on vulnerability and adaptation assessment which will be responsible for carrying out the assessment work. The group will be supported by the experience and lessons learned from activities from the INC, the NAPA, TNA and stocktaking exercise. OUTPUTS AND INDICATORS 70. The major outputs and indicators of this component will be: (i) (ii) Strengthened human, scientific, technical and institutional capabilities and capacities to undertake vulnerability and adaptation assessments; A wide range of stakeholders involved in the preparation of vulnerability and adaptation assessments including participation by communities in the assessment work and development of adaptation options, strategies and measures that are viable and culturally acceptable;

CAPACITY-BUILDING PREVIOUS ACTIVITIES 90. The process of the preparation of the INC has highlighted limited human, scientific, technical, technological, organizational, and institutional and resources capabilities in Tanzania for fulfilling its commitments, including the reporting requirements. Based on the results of a survey, special capacity building needs have been identified in the INC, TNA, NAPA and other climate change projects.
PROPOSED ACTIVITIES 91. This component will aim to address the specific needs that have been identified in the INC and other relevant climate change projects, taking into consideration of decision 2/CP.7. Building on the work already done under the INC, and the outcomes of the NCSA, the following activities will be carried out: (i) Identification of the specific needs, options and priorities for capacitybuilding such as those identified in the INC and phase II enabling activity projects, and the national capacity self-assessment, Promotion and level of involvement of a wide range of stakeholders (governments, national and international organizations, civil society),

94. The issue of gaps and constraints is explicitly addressed under Tanzania ‟s INC. It is provided in thematic -area-specific manner by giving information from institutional, technical, methodological and resource point of view. The TNA address the needs for technology transfer and constraints are addressed in terms of barriers. Most of the needs are provided in the form of project ideas. 95. During the preparation of the SNC, new constraints and gaps relating to financial, technical and capacity needs will be encountered and these will be included under this component. Special attention will be paid to identified gaps and needs under the previous activities such as the INC, phase II enabling activities, NAPA and stocktaking report. The information will also include the descriptions of these gaps and constraints and how these gaps and constraints have been addressed.
96. An analysis will be made of the level of financial and technical resources for the preparation of national communications made available by Tanzania, the Global Environment Facility (GEF), Annex II Parties, bilateral or multilateral institutions. This would include: (i) (ii) In-kind cost, staff resources and associated costs. The GEF, through one of its implementing agencies (i.e. UNEP).
(iii) Annex II Parties, through either bilateral programs or a multilateral institution. (iv) Other multilateral and bilateral programs and activities. OUTPUTS AND INDICATORS 97. Status of the constraints and gaps (technical, institutional, methodological, financial, capacity) from previous studies. 98. New constraints and gaps (technical, institutional, methodological, financial, capacity), if any related to each thematic area (inventory, mitigation analysis, V&A) and elaborate needs to overcome and fill them. 99. Constraints and gaps (institutional, financial, technical capacity) related to Article 6 activities, Article 4.5 and decision 2/CP.7 which are cross-cutting issue relating to the preparation of SNC will be highlighted and elaborated with a view of finding ways to overcome these needs. Institutional Framework for Project Implementation 100. In order to ensure the sustainability and the linkages between the existing climate change enabling activities and SNC processes, the SNC project will be fully executed by the same structures used for the Initial National Communication (INC). The Centre for Energy Environment Science and Technology (CEEST Foundation) and Environmental Protection and Management Services (EPMS) under the Climate Change Focal Point i.e., Vice President‟s Office (Division of Environment) will be responsible for the planning, coordination and management of SNC project, as instructed by the respective guidelines. The National Climate Change Steering Committee (NCSC) as a high level body will provide high-level guidance and support to this exercise. This is an informal Committee, which has been guiding climate change project activities since 1990, when the Initial National Communication project started. This means that, this exercise will utilize the national execution modality with the CEEST Foundation and EPMS as the Executing Agencies. The national expert teams established since the INC are expected to provide their technical aspects to the process, and will be recruited to help implementation of the project activities`. 101. In order to ensure the sustainability, efficient use of resources and linkages between prior and ongoing climate change enabling activities, the SNC processes will involve the majority of the experts who have been previously engaged under Initial National Communication, Top-up phase and NAPA. However, new comers are expected to enter the process. National experts will be coming from key relevant sectors including government
agencies, academic institutions, NGOs, and private sector as necessary. National experts mentioned above will be hired in Ad-Hoc basis under Special Service Agreements.
102. The ultimate responsibility for managing the project will be placed on CEEST Foundation and EPMS as the official National Project Coordinators (NPC) under the supervision of the VPO, DOE. The NPC will liaise with the members of National Steering Committee in terms of decision-making and guidance for the project. 103. The Vice President‟s Office (VPO), Division of Environment is the National focal point for the UNFCCC in Tanzania. Apart from being a focal for this Convention, the VPO is the overall custodian of issues of environment and has an oversight mandate for implementation of the multilateral environmental agreements. In addition to advising the Government on environment and sustainable development issues, the VPO is the operational focal point for the CBD, Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, the Biosafety Clearinghouse mechanism, and the UN framework conventions on climate change, desertification, ozone depletion, and persistent organic pollutants. The VPO is also mandated to facilitate a coordinated approach to Tanzania's response measures to environmental degradation, protection, and if possible, rehabilitation of natural habitats at the national level. 104. The VPO is also the Chair of the National Climate Change Steering Committee (NCSC). The NCSC is a multi-disciplinary body with members from government, semigovernment, and non-government organizations, as well as the private sector. The overall mandate of the NCSC is to oversee climate change issues in the country. Meanwhile CEEST Foundation and EPMS will provide a secretariat to the NCSC (See Figure 1). 105. The National Climate change Steering Committee also has the responsibilities of providing policy and technical advice to the project implementation. The Steering Committee will meet quarterly during the project implementation. The executing agency (CEEST Foundation & EPMS) will consult and work collaboratively with all relevant national and state stakeholders in the implementation of this project. The process will be participatory, cross-sectoral and cooperative, information exchange, networking and learning by doing to guide project activities. 106. Successful project execution will be achieved through close cooperation between the above-mentioned stakeholders. As executing agency, the CEEST Foundation & EPMS will ensure the delivery of the project outputs and the judicious use of the project resources. The CEEST Foundation & EPMS will also be responsible for the overall operational management and financial management and reporting to VPO on UNEP-GEF funds in accordance with financial rules and regulations for nationally executed projects. 107. The project will aim to consolidate the partnership between the CEEST Foundation & EPMS and other agencies and organizations who are, or have, actively participated in committees and working groups established for projects such as the NBSAP, Biosafety, POPs, TNA, NAPA, Coastal Management, and others. The project will adopt a broader but more strategic partnership and programmatic approach that goes beyond the current „stand-alone‟ projects, which should result in significant long-term impacts.
108. The strategy of the project is to involve expert teams already established under Tanzania‟s INC, TNA and NAPA exercise and institutions that have already been put in a roster mainly for the purpose of facilitation of administrative arrangements. New experts and institutions should be invited to join the teams after provision training-of-trainers on different thematic areas. This strategy will enhance the sustainability of the teams and the process of preparation of national communication. External technical support will be provided through information and experience exchange at regional and international level when necessary; participation in trainings and workshops to be organized nationally or from UNEP, hiring of short-term international consultants if seems necessary. Tanzania‟s experience on institutional and technical capacity building and development regarding National Communication should be sustained and leveraged to support the preparation of the SNC exercise. This experience will be utilized for taking highly into consideration climate change issues into national planning and policy and for the programming purposes such as promotion of innovative financing schemes for climate friendly technology transfer and development in the country.

MONITORING AND EVALUATION Quarterly and Annual Monitoring 109. The project will be monitored and evaluated according to UNEP/GEF rules and procedures throughout the project cycle. The CEEST Foundation and EPMS will prepare annual work plans, Quarterly Reports (QRs) and Annual Progress Reports (APRs) on the technical and substantive progress of the project. The National Project Coordinator (NPC) (CEEST Foundation & EPMS) will provide regular progress reports to the Vice President‟s Office, UNEP, and to all members of the National Steering Committee. These reports will enable the National Steering Committee and the UNEP to review and resolve any issues concerning implementation. 110. Local consultants will submit monthly progress reports to the CEEST Foundation & EPMS. The NPC will ensure that all consultants involved in project activities submit progress reports on a timely basis. These include surveys, trainings, workshops, meetings and field activities. 111. The National Steering Committee will meet every three months to review project implementation and provide scientific, technical, policy, and strategic guidance. The minutes of these meetings will be shared with all participating institutions. 112. The Steering Committee and the NPC will monitor the activities of the project by assessing progress at all stages, analyzing situations to determine the causes for any major deviations from the plan and deciding necessary actions to remedy the situations as appropriate. Monitoring Responsibilities 113. A detailed schedule of project review meetings will be developed by the project management, in consultation with project implementation partners and stakeholder representatives and incorporated in the Project Inception Report. Such a schedule will include: (i) tentative time frames for Steering Committee Meetings, (or relevant advisory and/or coordination mechanisms) and (ii) project related Monitoring and Evaluation activities. Day-to-Day Monitoring of Implementation Progress 114. This will be the responsibility of the National Coordinator based on the project's Annual Work Plan and its indicators. The NPC through Vice President‟s Office will inform UNEP of any delays or difficulties faced during implementation so that the appropriate support or corrective measures can be adopted in a timely and remedial fashion. Project Monitoring Reporting 115. The project‟s National Coordinator and VPO in conjunction with the UNEP-GEF team will be responsible for the preparation and submission of the following reports that form part of the monitoring process.
(a) Inception Report (IR) 116. A Project Inception Report will be prepared immediately following the Inception Workshop. It will include a detailed First Year Work Plan divided in quarterly timeframes detailing the activities and progress indicators that will guide implementation during the first year of the project. The Report will also include the detailed project budget for the first full year of implementation, prepared on the basis of the Annual Work Plan, and including any monitoring and evaluation requirements to effectively measure project performance during the months time-frame. 117. The Inception Report will include a more detailed narrative on the institutional roles, responsibilities, coordinating actions and feedback mechanisms of project related partners. In addition, a section will be included on progress to date on project establishment and start-up activities and an update of any changed external conditions that may effect project implementation. (b) Quarterly Progress Reports (c) Technical Reports 118. Short reports outlining main updates in project progress will be provided quarterly to the UNEP by the project management team. 119. Technical Reports are detailed documents covering specific areas of analysis or scientific specializations within the overall project. As part of the Inception Report, the project management team will prepare a draft Reports List, detailing the technical reports that are expected to be prepared on key areas of activity during the course of the Project, and tentative due dates. Where necessary this Reports List will be revised and updated, and included in subsequent 120. Annual Project Reports (APR). Technical Reports may also be prepared by external consultants and should be comprehensive, specialized analyses of clearly defined areas of research within the framework of the project.

ANNEX 7: SUMMARY REPORT OF THE STOCKTAKING EXERCISE
1. Scope and approach of the stocktaking 1. Over the past 10 years, Tanzania has completed a series of reports providing a comprehensive and up-to-date scientific assessment of climate change impact, adaptation and mitigation in Tanzania. All these reports were written by experts from Tanzania, coordinated by CEEST Foundation for the Vice President‟s Office (Division of Environment) and some of them have been published by CEEST and the University Press for use by policymakers, academic communities, the private sector and other interested people. In 2003 Tanzania submitted its Initial National Communication to the UNFCCC secretariat as per obligation under the Convention.
2. Owing to difficulties in the resource availability and technical capabilities, developing countries like Tanzania encountered more difficulties in using the rich information, meant primarily for further national analyses and decision making in the area of climate change impacts, adaptation and mitigation. In view of the importance of the above, the Government of Tanzania made effort of looking for funds to support wide participation of stakeholders in the process of preparation of the second national communication (selfassessment/stocktaking exercise).
3. The main objective of the stocktaking exercise performed in accordance with GEF Operational Procedures for the Expedited Financing of National Communications from NonAnnex I Parties (GEF/C.22/Inf.16) is to undertake a highly consultative and participatory process of needs assessment, to identify and validate the critical priorities for UNFCCC implementation in Tanzania in general, and SNC project proposal in particular. 4. This exercise is considered as the first but critical step in preparing the proposal for the SNC to the UNFCCC. A synthesis report is produced as the main output by serving of dual purpose: It is being used as a baseline document for the SNC proposal, as well as an input to identify and validate priorities for further in-depth studies and new areas of work to be carried out in the course of the SNC. In addition, it will provide an assessment of gaps, uncertainties, barriers and lessons learnt during previous and ongoing activities. This approach helps to ensuring that the SNC is build upon previous activities, studies, experiences, and institutional settings. The stocktaking exercise is focused on all thematic areas related to National Communication as indicated by 17/CP8. 5. The approach applied for the stocktaking exercise is based on the requesting a brief summary of activities and results achieved under prior and/or ongoing activities 2 that will ensure that proposal for SNC is build upon them. 6. The following main tools have been used for the stocktaking: (i) in-desk review of relevant documents; (ii) discussions among stakeholders; (iii) interviews with stakeholders; (iv) questionnaires; (v) two consultative meetings / workshop. The stocktaking exercise took
about 30 weeks brought together around 58 stakeholders from different ministries, public institutions, NGOs, academia, international organizations based in Tanzania and private sector. 7. To facilitate the stocktaking exercise a stocktaking team was set up. The Centre for Energy Environment Science and Technology (CEEST Foundation) in collaboration with Environment Protection and Management Services (EPMS) have led the stocktaking and served as facilitators and coordinators of this exercise, under the supervision of the Vice President‟s Office (Division of Environment). The stocktaking team was composed of three main thematic teams (GHG inventory team, GHG mitigation team, and Vulnerability and Adaptation (V&A). team) led by a team leader each. The members of the thematic teams who have been involved in the INC, NAPA and Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) have been considered as primary stakeholders. A secondary group of stakeholders that consist of National Climate Change Steering Committee members, members from different ministries, research institutions, NGOs, private sector etc., have been consulted as well. Each team leader was responsible of producing a separate report on the respective thematic area. Furthermore, team leaders have held consultations directly to the stakeholders whenever it was found to be necessary. Three specific thematic reports have been submitted to the National Coordinator (CEEST Foundation) who was responsible for the compilation of final synthesis report of the stocktaking and the SNC project proposal document, their circulation for comments and feedback and their incorporation. 8. The technical guidance provided by the UNDP-GEF National Communication Support Program (NCSP) through the on-line documents was of great use in the process. In addition, other countries experiences that have been completing the stocktaking exercise either under the SNC5 or NCSA were also considered. User Manual for the Guidelines on the Preparation of NC from non-Annex I Parties prepared by the UNFCCC Secretariat and the Guide for Self - Assessment of Country Capacity Needs for Global Environmental Management also provided useful ideas on ensuring successful stakeholder participation. Step-by-step guidance on such matter has been very useful. 9. For the thematic area of vulnerability and adaptation, prioritization of issues / studies was needed. For setting priorities a prioritization matrix was set up and criteria chosen through consultations with experts and stakeholder. Weight of each criterion is considered equal. Each expert has independently allocated scores for each criterion and afterwards points are totaled and issues with highest points are considered as priorities. 2. Main findings of the stocktaking 10. The stocktaking team performed an assessment of each thematic area relevant to the National Communication. The main focus of assessment was Tanzania‟s INC performed under the GEF funded project, namely: “Tanzania, Enabling Activities towards preparation of Initial national Communication to the UNFCCC”. It was followed by the Tanzania‟s Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) compiled under the Top- Up phase funded by GEF, namely “Additional financing for capacity building in priority areas” and National Adaptation Plan of Action (NAPA). In addition, other projects funded either by GEF or other donors relevant to each thematic area were considered whenever they were available. 2.1 National Circumstances
2.1.1 The baseline 11. The Tanzania‟s INC is the main document where a profile of Tanzania‟s circumstances was provided as the first heading of this document. Information on national circumstances provided under Tanzania‟s INC was relevant to the thematic areas of NC, aiming at giving a clear and full picture of the sector situation. 12. The section of national circumstances under Tanzania‟s INC contains information on: (i) Geographic profile; (ii) Climate profile; (iii) Natural resources [water, forests; land use]; (iv) Economic and sector profile [agriculture; livestock; energy, mining; transport, industry; tourism; fisheries]; (v) Resources and infrastructure [population; public health; education; environment]. Further to Tanzania‟s INC, the Tanzania‟s TNA and NAPA report provides some additional and updated information on the national development context and sectorial profiles including policy and legal framework that was relevant to the issue of technology transfer and development. 13. For some of the areas/sectors described under the Tanzania‟s INC, the reporting time frame was around 1990-1999, although there were many cases that due to the lack of data and information the analysis were made for fewer years (1990-1994). Given that the inventory base year was the year 1990, the relevant inventory sectors were analyzed around this year. In the Tanzania‟s TNA the reporting time frame was around 2000 - 2005, although in some cases analysis beyond 2005 was provided or assessments were made for fewer years than 2000 - 2005 due to the lack of information and data. 14. The main information and data on national circumstances were received through the Tanzania Bureau of Statistics, National Economic Surveys and Tanzania Revenues Authority (TRA) and complemented with information from the respective Ministries and National Research Institutes. Also HDRs produced from UNDP was considered 15. Having the new reporting requirements provided by the new UNFCCC guidelines (17/CP8) and the critical review of the reports (INC, TNA and NAP reports), the information provided so far on national circumstances lacks the following: a. Country development context, including current national development priorities indicating whether climate change is addressed under the country‟s development agenda; b. Sector profile including policy and legal framework, relevant to the NC c. Description of institutional arrangements relevant to the preparation of NC on regular basis. 16. Knowing the very drastic nature of change of many of economic sectors that are relevant to the NC in the course of the years 1990-2000, there is a strong need to update the sector profiles, especially for energy, transport, agriculture, land use change and forestry (LULUCF,) industrial processes and waste for such a timeframe. 2.1.2 New areas of work under SNC.
17. Referring to the new UNFCCC guidelines, the National Circumstances chapter under Tanzania‟s SNC shall contain information on the following items: (i) Geographic profile; (ii) Climate profile (iii) Natural resources: water resources, forests, land use, biological and ecosystem diversity; (iv) Economic and sector profile: agriculture, livestock, energy, mining, transport, industry, tourism, fisheries, (v) Infrastructure: population, public health, education, environment, (vi) Institutional arrangements relevant to the implementation of the UNFCCC and NC preparation process. 18. Given that the majority of geographic profile information is provided into Tanzania‟s INC and is sufficient it might need only some minor additions and updates such as share of land covered by surface water, information on international waters that Tanzania shares with other neighbors, population changes and distribution during the recent years. 19. There is a need to update the climate profile (temperature and precipitation) mainly with the recent extreme weather events. Additional information will be provided for the time horizon 1990-2003 which will be additional to the previous baseline 1951-1980. As per the natural resources the majority of the updated information will be provided on forests, pastures and land use change along with the most recent legal and policy framework that regulates the forest and land use change in Tanzania. 20. The review and update of the information on economic and sector profile will consist the update of the information regarding the newly adopted strategies for socio-economic development such as National Strategy for Socio-Economic Development (NSSED), Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper, (PRSP and MKUKUTA), Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), National Energy Strategy, Strategy for Development of Agriculture, and Strategy for Development of Tourism. Information on GDP trends for the period 1995 –2002 will be added too. 21. The review and update of the information on infrastructure such as: the state of the public health and education will be updated and a clear picture for 1995-2002 will be provided. The state of the environment including the state of urban air, water waste and hot spots will be provided along with institutional framework, legal framework, and public awareness and education on environment. This type of information was missing in the Tanzania‟s INC. 22. The information on permanent institutional arrangements relevant to the implementation of the UNFCCC and preparation of NC would be quite new as it was missing in the Tanzania‟s INC. This section will provide information as follows: (i) National Focal Point; (ii) status of Tanzania under the UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol; (iii) state of implementation of the UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol; (iv) distribution of responsibilities among other national institutions, NGOs etc; (v) stakeholders involved in the process; (v) institutional framework of climate change office (GHG inventory team; GHG abatement team; vulnerability and adaptation team, Clean development Mechanism (CDM) team. The above information would be provided since 1992 when Tanzania became a Party to the UNFCCC up to date.
2.2 GHG inventory 2.2.1 The baseline
23. The first GHG emission inventory by sources and removals by sinks for Tanzania was performed under the Tanzania‟s INC project. Attempts to update and improve the quality of GHG inventory were being made under the Top-Up phase especially in the industrial production and waste management sectors. 24. The lead agency responsible for the GHG inventory preparation was CEEST Foundation which was the technical arm for the Vice President‟s Office (Division of Environment) during the preparation of the INC for Tanzania. CEEST was established since 1992 and was responsible for the implementation of the UNFCCC in Tanzania, has mainly worked in project-based approach. 25. Tanzania„s first GHG inventory covers all sources and sinks as well as all gases as decided by 10/CP2. Tanzania‟s first GHG inventory considers five main modules such as energy, industrial processes, agriculture, waste management and LULUCF, as guided by UNEP/OECD/IPCC Guidelines of 1991 and 1994 IPCC Guidelines during the updating phase. Solvents category was not considered in that inventory. The national inventory considered three direct GHGs such as: CO2, CH4 and N2O and three indirect GHGs such as: CO and NOx. The key sources were identified and aggregated GHG emissions and removals expressed in CO2 equivalent were provided. However, indicators such as CO2/GDP and CO2/Capita were not estimated. 26. All activity data for Tanzania concerning each sector are national. Activity data was based on data survey and statistical information, where available. Inventory estimates are based in calculated method and in other countries estimates in comparative manner, some are real figures collected by GHG inventory team. 27. The main activity data source/provider is the Bureau of Statistics and Economic survey although they do not provide activity data for GHG inventory purposes according to the IPCC nominations. Other Data providers/sources included Ministry of Energy and Minerals, Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC), the Tanzania Electric Supply Company (TANESCO), the Vice President‟s Office, Division of Environment (DOE) Ministry of Communication and Transport, the Division of Forestry and Beekeeping, Taxation Department, and different data bases, surveys and studies prepared by International organizations (like the World Bank, International Energy Agency (IEA), OECD and IPCC), Universities and different NGOs. As regards emission factors, in most of the cases they represent default factors provided by IPCC Guidelines. Some of the emission factors used in estimates do not reflect Tanzanian situation. 28. The major technical constraint that has faced the GHG inventory process is related to the activity data gaps and use of IPCC default emission factors that do not reflect the country situation. Activity data gaps identified for the Tanzania‟s First GHG inventory are mainly related to the data availability (disaggregated activity data or inconsistency with IPCC format) and their variability after „90s. In most of the cases, activity data reported were at aggregate form or inconsistent with the IPCC format, which made the estimation of the emissions very difficult. This becomes a significant problem when source categories to which disaggregated data could not be obtained are identified as key ones.
29. Attempts to improve the quality of GHG inventory started in August 1997 through the UNEP-GEF Enabling Activities towards preparation of INC. The aim was to up date the 1990 base inventory to 1994 base and report in the INC. However, due to some constraints the 1990 base inventory was reported in the INC, and the 1994 base year inventory was attached to INC for further improvement during the SNC reporting. There is a need to regular build on the inventory work undertaken for first INC in preparation for the SNC, with the objective of developing a sustainable technical and institutional capacity.
30. There is a need to put in place a mechanism, which should consist strengthening national arrangements for compiling, archiving, updating and managing GHG inventories. Tanzania‟s system of GHG inventory needs to be documented. A national inventory report along with the manual of procedures and archiving of data and estimates is important to be well elaborated. Also awareness-raising activities have to take place under the supervision and responsibility of the VPO (DOE). A national strategy aiming at improvement of quality of GHG inventories needs to be in place. The strategy should focus on activity data collection and identification of methods/approaches for reducing the gaps. A plan should be developed for the SNC to consist the putting in place a methodology for filling the gaps. 31. The methodology that needs to be developed under the SNC project for filling the gaps has the following tools: i. Survey. This is the most common way to fill gaps related with activity data for different sectors when they do not exist; ii. Interpolation and extrapolation, to be used for filling different data gaps when it is possible and gives trusted results. This will be especially used for filling the gaps for time series 1995-2003; iii. Data and inventories produced under other internal and international projects (studies) in the frame of other international agreements where Tanzania is a Party in the field of environmental protection as well as in the field of energy/transport, agriculture, LUCF, industry and solvents; iv. Other countries experiences and methodologies proposed under the SNC projects that are more developed in the field of statistical data related with different sectors.
2.2.2 New areas of GHG inventory work under SNC 32. Tanzania„s second national GHG inventory will cover all sources and sinks as well as all gases as mandated by 17/CP8. Therefore it will consider three direct GHGs: CO2, CH4 and N2O and other indirect GHGs such as: CO, NOx, SOx and NMVOC. In addition, estimates of HFCs, PFCs and SF6 will be done. Emissions released from bunker fuels will be estimated and reported separately as instructed by the guidelines. Estimates of the key sources, sensitivity analysis and uncertainty level will be provided. The second GHG inventory will report on estimates of aggregated GHG emissions and removals expressed in CO 2 equivalent. In addition, indicators such as CO2/GDP and CO2/Capita would be estimated mainly for comparability purposes.
33. Estimates for Tanzania‟s second national GHG inventory shall be made for the base year 2000. Re-estimates for the year 1994 will be made as well. Given the variability of activity data after „90s the team has agreed to develop time series for a 10-year time frame (19952003) in order to provide a clear view of the emission trends. This will also create a clear background for the abatement analysis. A special attention will be given to the key source categories and a sensitivity analysis is needed to be done in order to see whether and how the key sources have changed. 34. Improved estimates of GHG emissions are expected mainly due to the majority of outputs of the TNA, in addition, the Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) plan will be drafted under the SNC and will be implemented as well. As regards emission factors, in most of the cases default factors provided by IPCC 1996 Revised Guidelines will be used. In addition, Emission Factor Database will be visited to see if appropriate factors relevant to our circumstances are provided. Also regional Emission Factors that are or will be developed under any regional project on GHG inventories will be utilized where appropriate. 35. All the new input data utilized along with emission estimates will be archived using the same format as for the first inventory archive done under the Tanzania, GEF Enabling Activities Towards preparation of INC to the UNFCCC project on GHG inventories. Also the Manual of Procedures and National Inventory Report developed under the above project will be updated along the same line. 2.3 GHG abatement analysis 2.3.1 The baseline 36. The first GHG mitigation analysis for Tanzania was performed with the financial support from GTZ, under the project “Technological and Other Options for GHG Mitigation in Tanzania”, and was updated under the UNEP-GEF project namely “Tanzania, Enabling Activities towards preparation of its INC as a response to its commitment to the UNFCCC”.
37. Tanzania„s first mitigation analysis consists of development of two scenarios, namely,: (i) baseline scenario and (ii) GHG mitigation scenario. The “baseline” or “reference” scenario is a description of a plausible future in which no specific policy measures are taken to encourage actions that reduce GHG emissions. Mitigation scenario assumes a gradual implementation of measures for reduction of GHG emissions. Projections of GHG emissions for Tanzania were sector specific. These projections were made for all GHG source categories such as: energy & transport; LUCF; agriculture; waste and industrial processes. The GHG mitigation analysis considered the three direct GHGs - carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide. 38. The Baseline Scenario included sufficient details concerning the GDP from each economic sector, energy usage trend in the future, energy sources production systems, the technologies used per sectors analyzed, the production of main industrial products, the population number and how it is distributed in the cities and in the countryside, the number of transport vehicles, the demand for agriculture & animal products, and data
concerning forests & land use, the forecasts on wastes produced and the way of their disposals, etc. 39. The development of the baseline scenario was based on a number of assumptions for economic and demographic parameters, legal framework and the prices policy, assumptions that were based on the macro-economic projections of the country as a whole, as well as on the development plans of the economic sectors. 40. Referring to the baseline scenario, most of CO2 emissions [95.98%] were expected to be released from LUCF, 3.43% from energy & transport activities and 0.59% from industrial processes. This is the reason why the team decided to analyze the three sectors in detail, i.e. in a quantitative way. As per the other sectors, they were analyzed qualitatively. 41. The mitigation scenario used the same project boundaries as the baseline scenario (reference scenario). However, the changes (i.e., reductions) of emissions would be realised when various mitigation options were introduced. For each mitigation option, the technologies that deliver energy services in the reference option were changed with more efficient ones, and their impact on emission reduction evaluated.
42. GHG mitigation measures / technology options identified under Tanzania‟s INC have undergone a prioritization process through the Tanzania‟s TNA exercise carried out under Top-Up phase of Climate Change Enabling Activities. The TNA as a complex process is a continuation of the work already carried out or identified/recommended under Tanzania‟s INC and through other activities to enhance technology transfer. This assessment of technology needs has been made through a sector-by-sector approach, covering energy sector, LUCF, agriculture; waste management and industrial processes. 43. Using the compiled information on alternative technologies for the priority sectors and sub-sectors and based on the ranking of the alternative technologies, the top 3 to 4 technologies are considered as key ones for most of sectors under assessment. Once the key technologies are selected, the barriers are assessed along with the policy needs and actions. A package of project ideas for the key technologies is designed. 44. Base year data (data for the year 1990 for the development of the baseline scenarios were identically to those of GHG inventory. Having the GHG inventory as the starting point for the GHG mitigation analysis and given the data gaps related to this inventory, gaps and uncertainties of the same nature were present to the mitigation analysis exercise as well. Therefore attempts to reduce data gaps and level of uncertainty under the GHG inventory will bring in turn more accurate mitigation analysis, i.e. more realistic predictions. 45. The stocktaking team identified another gap related to the programming issue. In other words, in the course of the preparation of the Tanzania‟s INC sector-specific scenarios and related national strategies and programs were not available for the sectors that have been under the focus of the GHG mitigation analysis. This is not the case for the time being. There are many new strategies and action plans recently adopted by the Government of Tanzania that have their impact to the GHG mitigation in Tanzania, therefore both scenarios (baseline and mitigation scenario) need to be updated and improved.
2.3.2 New areas of work under SNC 46. The mitigation analysis under the SNC will be sector specific, i.e. it will consider the following sectors: energy, agriculture, waste, LUCF, industrial processes and solvents. A special attention will be put under the energy and transport as well as LUCF sector as significant contributors to the GHG emissions, already considered as priority categories under this thematic area. 47. The Baseline Scenario developed under the Tanzania‟s INC will be subject of revision, update and adjustments in accordance with the new development conditions of the country and possibilities for future socio-economic development. The GHG inventory base year 2000 will serve as the starting point of the GHG analysis. The GHG abatement analysis and will go up to 2025. There is also a need to update and revise all details and assumptions made. Assuming to have better and more improved GHG inventory due to data improvement, better inputs from more comprehensive national economic development parameters, more accurate assumptions for economic and demographic parameters, which are based on the macroeconomic projections of the country as a whole, as well as in the development plans of the economic sectors, more reliable and improved baseline and mitigation scenarios for all relevant sectors will be developed. 48. The list of GHG mitigation options proposed for the mitigation scenario for each sector will be reviewed and updated in the light of new developments and needs. Key sources identified and updated under the GHG inventory exercise will be considered while making the selection of technology options. The impact of specific emission reduction actions / options will be measured (quantitative at the possible extent) against the baseline scenario. The cost and benefit will be analyzed. 49. During stocktaking it was pointed out that there is a need of analysis of other technology options / measures that were not considered before under previous studies such as Tanzania‟s INC, TNA and other relevant activities. The team considered them too relevant for the Tanzania‟s current development conditions. They include, among others, the following: (i) Interconnection of natural gas and electric power to Eastern and Southern Africa networks. This is relevant to the integration of Tanzania‟s energy sector to the East African grid or SADC Power Pool. (ii) More quantitative analysis of GHG mitigation for transport, agriculture, forestry and waste. (iii) Revisit and review of the stock of options / measures analyzed in quantitative manner under Tanzania‟s INC and TNA in the light of the new development conditions (improved data and GHG inventory, new strategies, energy prices and structure changes and shares of GDP); 50. Once the options have been identified, barriers assessed there is a need to select them for short and long term interventions. This process involves revisiting of priorities identified earlier in the light of barrier analysis. In the course of the selection process the team agreed to consider two distinct Tires of options/measures (Tier 1 and Tier 2):
The win-win options /measures that could deliver / be implemented faster, cheaper and easier. In a longer term, new options will become available which need significant resources and efforts.
51. The scenarios for energy, including transport sector will still be based on LEAP 2000 Software (the latest version). As per other sectors the team will explore the possibility to utilize appropriate models/ software such as STAIR or COPATH for Agriculture, COMAP for LULUCF if will be made available. IPCC Excel Spreadsheets will be utilized in case that no specific software will be available. Selection of abatement options will be done though a multi criteria analysis. For that purpose criteria will be set and a selection process will be done based on the scores. Type and respective weight for each criterion will be decided through consultations with different stakeholders and scores for each option will be found then. 2.4 Vulnerability and Adaptation 2.4.1 The baseline 52. The very first assessment of climate vulnerability and adaptation was carried out under U.S. Country Studies Programme (USCSP) in 1995 - 1996. The study was much focused on sectors including Forestry, Agriculture, the Tanzania‟s coastal area, Water resources, health, rangeland and livestock and development of climate change scenario. The assessment covered the expected climate change and its impact to the relevant sectors. A set of adaptation options for the Tanzania‟s mentioned areas were developed. The study was implemented using the IPCC guidelines of 1994, UNEP Handbook and USCSP Guidelines.
53. A more completed assessment and update of vulnerability and adaptation was made under Tanzania‟s INC. This assessment was one of the main activities performed under the UNEP-GEF project: “Tanzania, Enabling Activities towards preparation of its INC to the UNFCCC”. During the assessment the studies under the USCSP were updated and one more sector was added (Biodiversity and Wildlife sector).
53 The overall work performed under Tanzania‟s INC to assess the vulnerabilities consisted the following: (i) Evaluation of climate variability and trends during baseline period; (ii) Analysis of environmental and socioeconomic situation in the absence of climate change; (iii) Update of climate change scenarios for Tanzania; (iv) Projections of environmental situation affected by climate change. (v) The factors that are directly affected by climate (such as river flows, runoff, etc.) (vi) Projections of socio-economic situation affected by climate change. 54. As a climatologic baseline a 30-years „normal period‟ as defined by WMO has been accepted. The period 1951-1980 was selected as a baseline to study the influence of climate on the relevant sectors. Three time horizons were considered: years 2025, 2050 and 2100. Although the year 2100 was fixed as upper horizon, in some cases such as in social-economic assessments, projections were not reliable for more than a few years ahead. For these cases the team considered the year 2025 as the upper level. For others (natural ecosystems, forestry, etc.) that have longer response, the vulnerability assessment was extended up to
2050 and 2100 horizons. A long list of sector-specific adaptation options were developed by taking into account two main objectives identified, which are: (i) promotion of sustainable development, and (ii) the reduction of vulnerability (IPCC 1994). 55. In the course of the Top-Up phase the adaptation team focused on TNA. The assessment process was sector–specific one and covered the review and evaluation of technologies for the following sectors: (i) water resources, (ii) agriculture, (iii) forestry, (iv) human health , (v) tourism and settlements,(vi) Waste Management, (vii) Industrial processes and (vi) Energy. 56. Using likely the same criteria as for mitigation technologies the topmost 2-3 adaptation options / technologies were considered as key ones. Once key technologies were selected, barriers were assessed along with actions needed to overcome them. Concrete actions were proposed in the form of the project ideas. 57. The assessment of vulnerabilities and adaptation was carried out in accordance with the USCSP and IPCC guidelines. The scenarios of likely climate change for Tanzania were prepared using Global Circulation Models software as recommended by USCSP by then. 58. A variety of analytical methods in Climate Impact Assessment (CIA) were selected. Among others worth mentioning are: experimentation, impact projections, empirical analogue studies and expert judgement. A simple statistical model (Water Balance Model) is used in the runoff assessment. In forestry Holdridge and Forest Gap models were used, in livestock and rangelands the SPURR3 model was used, for the case of agriculture the DSSAT model was employed. For biodersity and wildlife the Habitat Suitability Index and expert judgment were used, and for coastal resources assessment the AVVA, analytical approach and ground truthing were employed. For the other sectors, statistical models were developed or empirical analogues were used (regional analogies of present climate and regional analogies of future climate). The need to use socio-economic scenarios or integrated system models are stressed. 59. All climatologically data were received from the Tanzania Meteolorogial Agency (TMA). Data regarding relevant sectors are received from other relevant institutions/ministries like National Planning Commission, Ministry of Energy and Minerals, Tanzania Electric Supply Company (TANESCO) Vice President‟s Office (Division of Environment), Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism (Division of Forestry and Beekeeping), Ministry of Water, COSTECH, CEEST Foundation, Tanzania Coastal Management Programme (TCMP) National Environmental Management Council (NEMC) and different data bases, surveys and studies prepared by International organizations (FAO, WRI, WB, OECD etc), Universities and different NGOs. 60. Lack of sufficient data due to lack of systematic monitoring process was a major constraint that caused limitation to the study of vulnerability. The team was unable to develop baseline climate scenarios for some sectors because they were limited by lack of enough information.
61. Lack of explicit guidelines from UNFCCC for vulnerability and adaptations made the process rather difficult, but this was at least solved by the use of USCSP guidelines and
trainings. Other methodological constraints like the lack of a finer resolution for application of some models, lack of methodology for simulation of extreme weather events and lack of models on cost/benefit analysis for climate change related interventions caused limitations to the study.
2.4.2 New areas of Vulnerability and Adaptation work under the SNC 62. The stocktaking team agreed that the assessment of vulnerability will be sector – specific and will consider the following related sectors, such as: (i) water resources; (ii) agriculture; (iii) energy; (iv) forestry; (v) tourism; (vi) human settlement (vii) health, there will be an integrated approach to all sectors because they are interdependent. A special attention will be put to water resources and their respective impact to the hydroelectricity generation, as it is known that more than 95% of electrical energy in Tanzania is from hydro sources. The assessment will also integrate other sectors like agriculture (irrigation systems), forests (catchments) etc, as it is known that adaptation in one sector often has consequences on others, therefore, an integrated assessment will be done at the extent possible 63. A set of selection criteria of equal weight was developed and agreed through the broad consultations with stakeholders. They were: (i) Scale of vulnerability; (ii) Relevance to national development priorities; (iii) Development benefits; and (iv) Data availability. 67. The emphasis will be put on the current conditions i.e. current climate risk and vulnerability and on this basis the future vulnerability will be predicted. This part of the assessment also includes an assessment of the scope and effectiveness of adaptation measures that may have been implemented. Three baselines will be developed for the selected area: (i) climate baseline; (ii) environmental baseline and (iii) socio-economic baseline. 68. Current vulnerability and climate impact to sectors will be assessed through the use of some indicators: For the climate system the indicators will be temperature (seasonal), precipitation (seasonal), wind, cloudiness and sunshine duration. The average change in mean runoff will be selected as the main indicator for water resources. For energy sector the main indicators will be the energy demand and supply options. Forests area and eroded land would be the main indicators to assess the forests sector. Plant production, irrigation systems, cattle breeding poultry production will be indicators for agriculture/livestock. Coastal tourism under the selected areas will be assessed in terms of the impact of the sea level rise and the rise of temperatures. Settlements will be assessed in terms of impact of droughts and flooding to the inhabitant‟s wellbeing. 69. Designing of an Adaptation Strategy Paper based in Adaptation Policy Framework (APF) for the selected area will be the main outcome of the vulnerability and adaptation exercise under the SNC. This will facilitate the process of mainstreaming the vulnerability to climate variability and climate change and adaptation response to the national planning and policy processes. The strategy paper will outline adaptation measures and plans of implementation (what); the way of implementation and resources needed (how); time frame (when); responsible parties for its implementation (who). It will serve as the basic document that will
create the momentum for a follow-up of this process, i.e. addressing climate variability and change to the national planning and policy processes. 2.5 Constraints and gaps, and related financial, technical and capacity needs 2.5.1 The baseline 70. Tanzania‟s INC contains a separate chapter that addresses the problems, gaps, constraints that have faced the NC exercise, and respective needs. The information has been provided in thematic-area-specific manner. The constraints and gaps have been assessed in terms of institutional, technical, methodological and resource availability. 71. The issue of gaps and constraints has also been explicitly highlighted in the TNA report. The report addressed the needs for technologies that help GHG mitigation and adaptation to climate change impacts. Financial, institutional and policy needs for technology options are addressed in the TNA. 2.5.1 New areas of work under SNC 72. Although some of the information on gaps and needs may be provided under various sections, it would be necessary to further elaborate under this section gaps and needs that would be identified. 73. After the completion of technical components of the SNC an in-depth analysis of all types of constraints and gaps (methodological, technical, financial) will be done. A special attention will be paid to the previously identified gaps and needs under the previous activities such INC, Top-Ups and NAPA, explanations whether and how they have been addressed under the SNC and their status. 74. New gaps and constraints while undertaking the SNC if any would be identified and related financial and technical capacity needs. In addition, gaps and constraints while implementing the UNFCCC will be reported. Also needs, gaps and constrains related to the technology transfer will be reported. 2.6 Other information relevant to the National Communication process 2.6.1 The baseline 75. Regarding other information relevant to NC Tanzania‟s INC contains also a separate chapter regarding Public Awareness, Education and Training. This chapter highlights these issues as relevant and crosscutting ones to the NC preparation exercise. The most interesting finding from this chapter is the relatively low level of awareness on climate change and education. The training component has moved much more forward by building up a strong team for performing NC and related studies. 2.6.2 New areas of work under SNC 76. This section will provide information on any steps that have been taken to mainstream climate change into national development agenda. Activities related to technology transfer as indicated under 4/CP7 will be reported under this section as well, for example how Tanzania is addressing activities related to the transfer of, access to environmentally sound technologies and know-how.
77. The above information will consist on the status of national programs for climate research and systematic observation, type of observation (metrological, atmospheric), level of participation into global research systems, needs and priorities for systematic observations. Information on whether Tanzania is participating into regional / sub-regional or global research networks and programs will be provided. 78. A special attention under this section will be put to the issue of, training, education, public awareness capacity building and information and, the steps that Tanzania has taken to implement Article 6 of the UNFCCC and respective part of Buenos Aires Plan of Action. The information on public awareness, training and education will consist: (i) framework for implementation of Article 6 of the UNFCCC; (ii) level of awareness; (iii) implemented or/and ongoing activities for education, training, public awareness (iv) public access to information; (v) sub-regional, regional, and international cooperation to promote education, training, and public awareness. 79. Regarding capacity building the section will provide information on: (i) Status of the capacities built and developed; (ii) needs and options on capacity building and development; (iii) dissemination and sharing of information on capacity building activities; (iv) status of activities and level of participation. 80. Information is an essential part that along with capacity building, public awareness and training remains a crosscutting issue. This section will include information on: (i) efforts made to promote information sharing; (ii) participation in and contribution to information networks; (iii) access to and use of information technologies for information exchange. 2.7 Lessons learnt and good practices 81. The preparation of the NC was a learning-by-doing exercise that served for building and developing national capacities to compile NC to the UNFCCC. 83. The maintenance of the expert teams involved in NC was critical for the success of this process. This approach along with extension of the expert teams though training the trainers is a step towards sustainability of the process. Starting with inventory and then following with GHG mitigation analysis by engagement of the same team of experts into both activities. 84. Technical support provided by UNEP-GEF through thematic workshop, newsletters, desk, and peer review of all components of the NC was critical for the quality improvement of the National Communication. 85. Partnership with other UNEP programs and other national public institutions to address climate change issues into development agendas will be a good practice. There is a need to identifying clear measures to be taken by Tanzania‟s Government through its newly adopted sectoral policies and programmes. 86. National Communication exercise has been seen not only as a tool to meet the commitments that Tanzania has as a Party to the UNFCCC but also as leverage for programming purposes. Project proposals and/or ideas have been identified under INC/TNA as a follow up to this exercise. There should be arrangements for the formulation of Project Development Facility on those project concepts.

National Project Coordinator (NPC) – CEEST Foundation & EPMS I. Project background information In June 2003, Tanzania completed its initial national communication and submitted it to the secretariat of the UNFCCC. The preparation of first national communication was supported through a GEF-funded enabling activity for the preparation of initial national communications of the Republic of Tanzania. Under the enabling activity, Tanzania was required to establish appropriate institutional arrangements to implement the various activities/tasks in the preparation of the national communication. In accordance with this requirement, the Climate Change Coordinator was housed within the CEEST Foundation, under the supervision of Vice President‟s Office of the Republic of Tanzania. The project for the preparation of the SNC on climate change is a logical continual step towards further implementation of the UNFCCC at the national level. Its main objective is to prepare a comprehensive report on climate change related issues. The analysis conducted within the Initial NatCom will be updated and extended, which will result in preparation of a comprehensive national report. Furthermore, it will work towards ensuring that climate change issues are not considered as separate to national and local environmental concerns by integrating objectives into national and local strategic planning processes.
