Tanzanian Forestry Program
GRA-Tz has been active since 2011, in partnership with the Belgian NGO, WeForest, distributing over 2 million trees to government schools and local communities in the Mara Region. To this end, it operates two tree nurseries, one in Butiama and one in Utegi currently producing a total of around 800,000 seedlings annually.
GRA-Tz, in partnership with WeForest, is planning to implement a four + four -year initiative (two phases) called ‘the Butiama Hillside Forest Restoration Project, re-greening the surrounding landscape starting’ in 2023. The organization is promoting Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) best practices, creating a movement and engaging the local communities and authorities to act responsibly.
The forest restoration project is focusing on nurturing back forest on the hillsides of Mwikoro, Kigori, Busegwe and Singu villages in Butiama District and increasing the tree components in the wider landscape. The total area of intervention is 1,921 ha of hillsides for the first 4 years of which 1,475 ha falls within the boundaries of the Mwikoro, Kigori, Busegwe and Singu villages. Forest restoration will be achieved by assisted natural regeneration and the introduction of woodlots and agroforestry systems to improve the livelihoods of the local population. The program will also involve the creation of community forests on the hillsides with a legal status and improve the water catchment to help restore dried up water springs.
GRA -Tz implements the project through the management of tree nurseries, agroforestry, project coordination, community forest management of the hillsides and monitoring. WeForest is the main donor for the project and provides guidance and technical support on project interventions.
