Early July 2022 I joined 15 other young voices in the policy and environmental space of Africa from the 5 zones of the continent to form the 1st ever inaugural cohort of Policy fellows under the African Wildlife Foundation and UNEP Africa.
The journey is geared to intensify our skills and networks to become sharp policy reformers from the African continent on issues of biological diversity and sustainability. You are welcomed to read more at:
Two months into the fellowship and I have been opened up to concrete insights on biodiversity policies in Africa. From that stance I wanted to share a brief on the most common agreement/document on biodiversity issues globally, the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).
I feel even more responsible now to make sure that my fellow young people know about the convention and how they can take part in contributing to the realization of its goals.
Learn on the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)
Kindly welcome to share your thoughts, there’s no sustainability without inclusion, all our voices and contributions matter!
Unity, Peace and Democracy are United Republic of Tanzania’s core national values.
The Indian Ocean coastlines a place in the eastern part of Africa that is, resource-wise, a rich country and some of us are blessed to call our homeland, the angelic Tanzania.
The United Republic of Tanzania is a growing agro-economy that was established under foundations of democracy, unity and peace. The backbone to the thriving of our communities rests upon a successful coexistence with nature and climate.
Like any other developing nation in the heat of the global climate crisis, Tanzania is striving to feed out development challenges which include the adverse climate change effects on agriculture. Agriculture is the nucleus of Tanzania’s development, meaning climate change doesn’t only threaten our food security but it also negatively redefines our social, political and economic welfare.
Amid the mitigation and early adaptation efforts, this anthropogenic crisis rallies against social justice and is drawing societal concerns on its heterogeneous relationship to a number of social factors including peace and security.
Tanzania is home to 59.7 million people among whom 34% are aged 15-35 and 64% are under the age of 24. With this number of youth, the country has a maximized possibility of ascending development initiatives while leveraging its youth power to spearhead solutions for pressing challenges like climate change.

Ground Youth Situation
This wonder number of youth translated to the development power is barricaded by a number of issues that are depleting its effect in contributing to the sustainability and circular economy efforts. Far away from climate change there are a number of issues challenging the youth contribution in climate action.
According to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) around 800,000 to 1,000,000 youth are entering the job market every year in Tanzania, yet their access to formal employment is minimal. These young people are mostly limited by inadequate capital and infrastructure to support their social entrepreneurial efforts when it comes to enterprising.
Additionally, young people in Tanzania lack skills to link formal education and job market requirements for them to succeed in a fast-paced and diverse technological environment. Summatively, skills, tools and techniques for young people to attain employment or source out enterprises are still lacking.
Despite young Tanzanians offering a good deal of contribution in sustainable development and climate action, their representation in decision making and governance at all levels is very low. Technology on the other hand has been a useful tool for mobilization and society is experiencing a slow turn where more young people in Tanzania are going for leadership seats and demanding to be heard. This then paints out underrepresentation to be another priority challenge.
Migration has been another factor needing to be toned down in Tanzania. Adversely, climate change has disrupted agricultural systems in most rural areas leading to young people shifting from these rural areas to urban cities in search of new opportunities.
Having in mind that cities like Dar es Salaam already have an influx of young graduates needing opportunities, the shifts then only result in a scramble for resources which is again, unsustainable.
People will probably move because of unfavorable conditions, and lest we not forget that uncontrolled migration is a factored circular motion of social systems and environmental destruction.
“The best hope [to address these] challenges is with the new generations, we need to make sure that we are able to strongly invest in those new generations,”
~ António Guterres (9th United Nations🇺🇳 Secretary General)
The above mentioned challenges, among others, have deterred young Tanzanians from being a powerful force against climate change. Above is the road to leave behind before even starting to navigate the challenging dynamics of climate change alone.
It is like being tasked to build a ship without resources then sent to look for treasure in the vast sea without a map. Issues around Climate change are not well understood by these young people and they were already disadvantaged by a number of issues before climate change came. How do we expect them to fully assume responsibility to solve the crisis?
Uncontrolled migration is a factored circular motion of social systems and environmental destruction.

Forging Forward
So,what if decision makers and exterior climate action contributors started changing the trajectory of their plans to also accommodate recovery and resilience measures in rural areas under a ‘rural community owned’ solutions framework? What if holistic climate finance was piped in for young people in the rural areas to access and be part of the agricultural projects? What if capacity building initiatives around climate mitigation, adaptation and advocacy were brought to rural areas so that the youth there can be versed enough to be part of this transition?
Issues like unemployment, the struggle for civic space and unsustainable migration may prompt us as a community to begin to look at the concept of social acceptance and its varied impacts on the response of citizens in nation building endeavors.
Sense of belonging conveys an intrinsic motivation to affiliate with others and be socially accepted by others. In a democratic country like Tanzania people share a common social identity, have access to collective goods and opportunities whilst also taking part to form collective laws and principles that we they live by. People expect a reciprocated balance of duties and obligations with state rights.
On the other hand, if this expected balance is tempered with and there’s an exclusion or lack of full participation in the decision making process and national proceedings it may fire up the sense of not-belonging. Consequently, a generation with no interest on national matters arises and in turn the surface of lower contribution in alarming issues like Climate change. If we want more youth participation in climate action our civic space should reflect political inclusivity and socio-economic opportunities for young people.
Like the old times, this is the part where I ask you to sit down in this virtual space so that I can narrate to you an illustration as we begin to navigate the next concept concerning youth participation in climate action.
Imagine that you were a businessperson and a parent who was born from a line of hardworking men and women who run a family business that defines them and prides the meaning of their existence. Your child is then the next in line to take up the family business after you and the only hope for its longevity. Logically, you will take them along at an early age and they will have to learn the foundational values and practices of the business. They will have to practice, fail, learn, find their own unique additions and hone their skill to perfection until they are not only the heir to the business but the business itself because it is crucial that they be so if they have to be positioned best to again hand the business down to their children after them.
Every successful thing has a secret ingredient for its ascension, as a wise parent and ambitious businessperson you would then tell these goings to your child, so that the business remains relevant and unique throughout lifetimes. The best way for all your legacies to live and be remembered.
Dear reader,
The above narration is the mirrored parallel to the concept of ‘Intergenerational Co-leadership’
For our generations to win, leaders need to help young people as future leaders to understand systems, co-lead along with them and develop management capacities in all spheres, ready for the time that they are to assume office.
Thinking sustainably, the future and longevity of Tanzania🇹🇿 does not only depend on the current leaders, as it depended on the former leaders, so does it on future leaders who are currently young people. We are synonymous just like the viewpoint of our founding father H.E Mwl. Jullius K. Nyerere, the only difference is the era of entering office. Current leaders should help young Tanzanians understand the systems of administration, channel learning opportunities to them and allow them to co-lead under their guidance. You are not competitors to their millennial mindset but advisers helping them to find best ways to align their millennial mindset with the foundational systems of the nation.
The 27th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 27) to the UNFCCC will take place in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt. COP 27
On the road to Cop27 at Sharm El Sheikh – Egypt 🇪🇬, let decision makers revisit the challenges faced by young people holistically, jointly find solutions for pre-existed and current challenges. This will cultivate a good ground for young people to participate in climate initiatives. Let us forge forward banking on inclusive and transparent discussions, skills sharing and empowering our youth to be part of creating innovative solutions for climate related effects. And lastly, let us not assume what the youth want, but rather do inclusive, transparent and wide range consultations to collect the views from young people which will then be the roadmap for taking action.
Mungu Ibariki Tanzania! Mungu awabariki vijana wa Tanzania!🇹🇿
Earth’s body of saltwater that covers nearly three fourths of its surface and now turning to a waste dumpsite
Oceans are the largest carbon sink on the planet, meaning that they help absorb CO2 emissions from human activity like industrial production and store it safely deep within its ground. This comes at a great cost, as the chemical interaction with CO2 and its absorption produces acidification, damaging fragile ecosystems like coral reefs, which house and nurse about 25% of all known marine species.
In its latest report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concludes that the ocean is now warmer, more acidic and less productive. Melting glaciers and ice sheets are causing sea levels to rise, and coastal extreme events are becoming more severe.
In addition, an estimated 8 million tonnes of plastic waste and 1.5 million tonnes of microplastics enter the oceans every year. This threatens marine ecosystems and the communities relying on the seas for their livelihoods. Much of the plastic in the oceans comes from waste discharged on land or into rivers by the 2 billion people living without access to waste collection services. Fast population growth and rapid urbanization in many cities around the world, particularly in coastal areas largely contribute to the challenge.

Ocean sustainability
Ocean sustainability embodies the approach required to manage our oceans and the services they provide I.e. fishing, artisanal produce and aquaculture.
Keeping the oceans clean and healthy is crucial for sustainable development and reducing poverty. This is reflected in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 14: Life Below Water) of the United Nations’ Agenda 2030.
In Tanzania, the government has established standards to manage the coastal resources and environmental quality through keeping and maintain these resources under the following regulations (to mention but a few):
‘Healthy oceans and seas are essential to our existence’ – Goal 14
Challenges in Tanzania
In Tanzania, the Indian Ocean and marine life face challenges in maintenance and regulation. The importance of oceans for sustainable development is wide and covers a multitude of areas including livelihoods, trade, biodiversity, tourism etc, therefore it is paramount for us as coastal communities to safeguard and manage water resources well.
In order for oceans and marine resources to successfully contribute to human well-being, ecosystem integrity, properly functioning is essential. Marine resources are increasingly threatened, degraded or destroyed by human activities, reducing their ability to provide crucial ecosystem services. Important classes of threats are, among others, climate change, marine pollution and unsustainable extraction of marine resources.
Pollution
In large amounts, agricultural and industrial waste, chemicals, oil spills, and plastic litter have been dumped into the Indian ocean and sadly, all these substances are sourced from human activities. Pollution annihilates marine life, biological process and therefore renders failure to the capacity of the ocean to serve communities.
Nevertheless, let us not leave out the destructive impacts of climate change on the ocean. Particularly in Tanzania, marine wildlife habitats providing reefs are declining due to climate change and on projections of future shocks occurring, these significant ocean vegetation leave our coastal communities vulnerable because they bear an important role of acting as frontline defenses against natural disasters.
The rise of ocean water temperature that is a consequence of global warming is a major threat to the fisheries sector which in turn affects local livelihoods and in the long run Tanzania’s economy.

Information Gap
Addressing the information gap regarding successful and safe use of the ocean and its resources in the marine and coastal environment is still a major challenge for coastal communities in Tanzania. Most people do not understand well the simple dynamics to consider when interacting with the ocean and even further, they do not understand the implications signified by every aspect of the decisions they make in those interactions. Awareness is the starting point of solving the challenges in ocean sustainability in Tanzania. This carries the potential to contribute to successfully achieving goals in conservation and sustainable resource management around the coast and in islands.
African coastal nations are beginning to challenge the pessimistic narrative around the management of their ocean riches by adopting more holistic approaches. For example, the Africa Blue Economy Strategy sets an agenda for sustainable development over the next decades, including in the areas of fisheries, transport, energy, sustainability, and governance. According to OECD projections, by 2030, the “blue economy” (defined as all economic sectors that have a direct or indirect link to the oceans, such as marine energy, coastal tourism and marine biotechnology) could outperform the growth of the global economy as a whole, both in terms of value added and employment.
Thus, the ideology is now slowly beginning to penetrate in communities, a good example is the coastal aquaculture project run by The Embassy of Ireland under Irish Aid for local communities in Tanga, Pemba and Unguja.
Regulation and management
Achieving headline global sustainability objectives such as ocean sustainability will depend on the implementation of tangible actions to ensure more inclusive and equitable long-term marine resource management. Such actions and their motivations are usefully framed by the concept of environmental stewardship which describes the interplay between multiple actors, actions taken at different scales, and the overall capacity of the system to drive social-ecological outcomes.
Good governance, an enabling environment, sustainable land- and marine- based human activities, and adequate measures will be required to reduce the negative anthropogenic impacts on the marine environment, the good policies to be obtained if sustainable resource wise will then lead to sustainable changes in production and consumption patterns, improved management and control of human activities. Projects and measures should ideally be designed and implemented in an integrated, cross-sectoral and cross-scale manner, in line with the ecosystem approach and involving all stakeholders, not just the government.

Youth Opportunities
Co-creating nature-based solutions – Scouting for ideas and integrating skills among groups/sectors/individuals can create long-term business and social opportunities geared to conserving and restoring natural ecosystems. This includes banking on innovation and creativity to create projects that are solutions to the above challenges. For the young people, there are untapped opportunities in areas around preservation of coastal habitats, sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, carbon-aware tourism and ocean-based technology and infrastructure.

Research and learning
As young people, we can leverage on research and learning practice to assess and share information around marine life in relation to anthropological effects of man. More young people in academia should take interest in exploring solutions around ocean sustainable and viable practical models that can result in sustainable resource management, environmental conservation, or delivery of sustainable services regarding blue economical activities.
Spark the Conversation
Policy and practice review, online discussions and Green events like beach clean ups can be a good starting point for the youth to bring this matter to public spaces. Especially in Dar es salaam, we have a rise in ocean conservation awareness and an increasing spirit of volunteering in beach clean ups, youth discussions etc. It’s a call to action for young people out there to take action and preserve our oceans. If you do not know where to start, Join No Taka by emailing us via the contact page with your query. No Taka organizes beach clean ups, discussions, Documentary exhibitions etc for youth to learn and engage in keeping our oceans clean, safe and profitable for our people.
Oceans & Seas over 70 percent of our planet and we rely on them for food, energy and water – Goal 14
Most people in the world view water as ‘their right’ and not ‘their responsibility’. People expect to get water directly from natural resources or public water systems distribution as they mindfully attach water consumption to ‘need’ only, not thinking of its management and long term security options.
A dry water tap #Scarcity
Oppositely, let us ask ourselves today a few question below:
Where does the water come from?
Can we finish it?
Am I properly managing it?
Just the few above questions from a sustainable thought process can open us up to a wider discussion and learning on how water availability can redefine our current societies and those in the future.
A respective summarized answer to those questions is:
(1) water comes from natural resources and processes of the environment like the vast oceans and rain
(2) No, our planet as a whole can possibly never run out of water but Access and Availability of Clean and Safe water is very limited to the people on earth.
On to the last question
(3) our usage in quantity, frequency and application can determine the trajectory of clean water to either be available and scarce.
Facts & Figures
Data has brought us to the fact that 785 million people worldwide still lack safe water. Of these, 490 million live in sub-Saharan Africa mainly in rural areas.
Almost 4 million people in Tanzania lack access to an improved source of safe water, and 29 million don’t have access to improved sanitation.

We can never overlook the timeless role of water in facilitating sanitation, domestic responsibilities, small to large scale agriculture and fostering production especially in a country like Tanzania where Water,Hygiene and Sanitation (WASH) sensitive indicators are high according to the UN.
Thinking sustainably, let us take a perceptive turn and visualize our social service systems 30 years to come referencing the current water situation.
The access to water and sanitation facilities is defined as more than just access to drinking safe water and acquiring it for domestic uses. The subject goes further to affect complex spheres of life like human rights and energy production.
The world is shaping a new way of life given its production and consumption altering rates of natural resources including water, something that is also causing a shift in the definition or rather meaning of ‘Access to Water’ especially in developing countries like Tanzania.
Currently water scarcity is a threat to the globe; climate change effects, pollution and over consumption of water pose challenges to water availability for us and future generations.
Pollution has been one of the major hindrances to access clean and safe water. (IMG: a polluted river)
What is Water Sustainability?
The ability to meet the water needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to do the same.
As individuals letting alone governments and other multilateral entities we have a daily role to play to achieve water sustainability. It is also our responsibility as it is our right.
How important and scarce safe water is will be a starting point for us to understand that efficient water use and management is key.
‘Our Role in Simple Terms’
Control water consumption amounts according to essential needs I.e. try as much as you can to avoid using water if it is not necessary.
Teach your family members and those around you to practice water conservation and sustainability habits like closing taps when not in use
Do not engage in water sources pollution like littering or turning them into dump sites
Participate in proactive adaptation measures like beach clean ups and social campaigns for protection of water sources
Raising awareness on the impacts of water scarcity and how it affects communities. I.e the differentiated impact it has on women and children who are forefront victims compared to men.
Leveraging the media and innovation tools to tell our local community stories on water scarcity and security. These lived experiences will help connect people to solutions but also inspire others to make change.
Overflowing water from an open tap
Forging forward
Efforts should continue to navigate through innovation and partnerships on best water management, reuse and recycle practices. I personally encourage continued learning from other similar contexts so that solutions are replicated in as many areas as possible with similar water related challenges.
Collective efforts have always proven effective. In this context I think it is high time that water scarcity solutions are locally owned. Integration of efforts between respective authorities and the people has the power to birth responsibility and effective outcomes. Awareness can penetrate smoothly as control and management matters can be attended to.
‘Every drop counts’ So don’t forget to Manage, Reuse, Recycle water and Repeat!
As the world continues to experience climate change effects, one of the most common incidents coming along with this change is flooding. Flooding induced from increase in rainfall intensities in different parts of the world including Tanzania.
Tanzania being susceptible to climate effects and with worse results due to the development situation should work even more to bring climate awareness to the people. But also work on other initiatives that helps lessen the effects including sustainable cities and planning
Most African countries settle on an undefined settlement planning which makes it difficult for social systems distribution, drainage systems inclusive.
Drainage systems are among the most vital social systems that help counteract flooding effects. The major function of these systems is to drain water away from built-up areas into rivers and lakes and Part of these systems being water trenches and canals famously known in Swahili as ‘mitaro’.
Floods surface a ground for drowning, property destruction, infrastructure destruction and disease outbreak. Remember, all these results pay for a one way ticket to economic deprivation.
The ‘should haves’ best be the least of our worries unless time can offer us a turn around, until then everyone from everywhere in every way possible should responsibly take actions to reduce global warming emissions and creating more sustainable life systems.
Careen Joel.
The creation of suitable drainage systems that compeer with population sizes help reduce flooding effects and in turn creates a cleaner, healthier and sustainable environment.
Cities in Tanzania like Dar Es Salaam are highly populated and settled upon so they lack the ground into which the water can sink into or a lot of trees that can absorb the water through transpiration when it rains. Due to the buildings rain water is forced to runoff the streets and hence easily flood.
In the course of heavy rain the drains are ought to be accommodative and passable or else the water runs back to flooding. The objective of the drains is to direct the rain water into natural water sources like a river or a lake. As a results cities like Dar es Salaam need to have stronger, passable and accommodative drainage systems in order for the streets to breathe free from flooding.
Another challenge in the drainage systems of highly populated areas is the absence of pollution management in the systems. As the water runs along the streets it gets contaminated with a lot of particulates that are water pollutants i.e. chemicals, bacteria and human waste. Water drainage problem solved but another problem of natural water source pollution is birthed.
These are environment friendly solutions to environment degrading problems. In case of seco-friendly drainage systems the following are suggested green solutions: -Planning and designing definite settlement plans that drains can easily be inserted and accommodate the needs of everyone from the community. Cities need to consider their settlement plans.
-Building permeable roads and pavements that let rain water flow into the ground slowly reducing its amount on the surface.
-Introduction of technological approaches that allow water treatment along the drainage system. This is more of water recycling points inside the system so that the water can be treated as It moves along the system until it reaches its natural source destination. Promotion and support of new innovations that lead to more green spaces like city center parks and garden reserves.
The idea of having sustainable communities, free off flooding effects is contingent to the existence of better drainage systems. Consequently, Tanzanian people, mandated leaders, influencers, environmentalists and policy makers should work hard into putting up favorable drainage systems and good management methods for those systems. The corroding effects of climate change have already made way into our societies, significantly affecting our resources (both natural and human) and social systems. The world has to come to terms with the undeniable fact that we are on a state of climate emergency.
The ‘should haves’ best be the least of our worries unless time can offer us a turn around, until then everyone from everywhere in every way possible should responsibly take actions to reduce global warming emissions and creating more sustainable life systems.
A type of
thinking that accommodates the needs of people. A strategic practical
process of which design concepts are developed.
I.e. the knowing of the presence of kitchen dirt and the discovery of the making of detergents.
Systems thinking is the type that analyzes all the components in the design system so that it adds up to finding Eco friendly solutions.
–machines that use less energy
–recyclable cosmetics and clothes
–eco-friendly raw materials in industries
–pollution free transport agents
–responsible consumption

Green from the Core!
Analysis should be done from the design of things i.e. machines so that the recycling process is eased or reduced.
SHARING🍃
The Earth: only home we have. If our systems could breathe more by us being able to share a lot of waste producing services then it would be much better.
Public over private, less energy used for more people the less waste production from the systems. I.e. common laundry mats, common transportation etc.
The Youth
Young people have a social innovation role to play so that solutions design cater the needs of our communities and also protect our environment. These solutions should adopt systems thinking approaches that integrate some of the most important components of our communities.
As young people our voice for environment awareness, conservation and climate action through advocacy is paramount. Wear this responsibility everywhere you go and at every level you are at!
EVERY TIME YOU SPEND MONEY YOU ARE CASTING A VOTE FOR THE KIND OF WORLD YOU WANT.
Its been 5 days since the plastic bags ban in Tanzania and we are so here for the adhering! Streets are free from plastic bags and are breathing fine now.
Lets get on to the next move. Youth out there this is our call. From our own streets to the streets were we work, study or visit we are to bring the carbon free energy! In any reflective way possible.
Karume market, Ilala Dar Es Salaam.
Very excited about the toughening of the fight against climate change in the country especially the movements pioneered by the youth.
A shift in the worldwide weather phenomena that the present age has coined as “Climate Change” is gaining popularity in many countries and is currently one of the most controversial debates in the public. There has been frequent occurrence of extreme climate events like cyclones and drought in some parts of the world, with Expectations of the events increasing in the coming days especially in prone regions like the global south, including Tanzania scientists argue. These series of devastating climate events are linked as outcomes by scientists to the concept of the earth warming caused by human activities and influences on the natural environment. Therefore governments are signing petitions, enacting policies and putting up systems that favor environment sustainability and reduce the ongoing climate change effects. Climate change in Tanzania runs from affecting food security, disrupting economic activities to affecting the health sector and projecting poverty in the country. The country gets these outcomes from experiencing irregular rainfall patterns, higher temperatures and fierce weather conditions like storms and floods. All these has led Tanzania into initiating ways to reduce its carbon footprint as carbon increase in the atmosphere is one of the major contributors to global warming. After many years of putting discussions and not lawfully enforcing plastic ban finally Tanzania came to an official restriction of using plastic bags in the country with 1st June 2019 as the official deadline according to the prime minister who announced as he closed his office’s budget for 2018/19 financial year in Dodoma. Businesses merchandising plastic bags were given a 2 month window to adopt to the new system regardless the threat considered by the government concerning job and tax loss. Minister for State in the Vice President’s Office (Union Affairs and Environment) Hon. January Makamba held various meetings with stakeholders prior to the decision to ban the use of plastic bags as they discussed present opportunities in alternative productions. Currently the greatest hindrances pulling back Tanzania’s adaptation to Eco-friendly social systems is lack of funds, public awareness and technological innovations. The global south is still getting up from the scourge it gets from climate change but also trying to draw policy lines of change into green economy. Most third world countries are constrained from adapting solely green economy due to fear that development will be at the expense of the environment. Green economy is simply social systems functioning in an environment friendly way meaning dragging fossil fuels, plastic and toxics out of the economic system.
Nevertheless the efforts to bringing Tanzania to a greener destination need to be merged from different stakeholders, policy makers, scientists, common people, business investors and all of us should employ combined strength to get Tanzania there. No Carbon, No Taka!
The question ringing in developing countries parliaments is “Can our countries survive?” But then with sound strategic approaches and the right policies green economy can create countless investment and employment opportunities as well as have carbon stored safe in the ground. Tanzania’s walk to a greener economy will be a long one and it’s completed with the accumulation of small and simple decisions like control of people’s eating and consuming habits as well as major decisions like this of banning plastic bag usage. A long walk it will be but at the end of the day it will benefit humanity in the long run. Nevertheless the efforts to bringing Tanzania to a greener destination need to be merged from different stakeholders, policy makers, scientists, common people, business investors and all of us should employ combined strength to get Tanzania there. The government should have the door for innovations wide open because they will ventilate survival for opportunities in the environment sector. Banning plastic bags is a major milestone for a greener economy in Tanzania. An economy that breeds safety. A hard-won victory. Mungu ibariki Tanzania!
