Mozambique, and Tanzania for sustainable basin and coastal management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Healthier ecosystems &#8211; Improved protection and restoration of freshwater, coastal, and marine ecosystems, with enhanced biodiversity conservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Greater climate resilience &#8211; Increased resilience of ecosystems and communities to climate change and extreme weather events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Improved knowledge and decision making &#8211; Stronger basin monitoring systems and increased use of scientific data to support evidence based planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inclusive stakeholder engagement &#8211; Greater participation of communities, women, youth, civil society, and the private sector in basin governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sustainable livelihoods &#8211; Improved livelihood opportunities through sustainable land and water management practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Activities<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The relevant activities that the project aims to implement include implementing sustainable water and land-use practices, reforestation initiatives, conservation agriculture, climate-smart solutions, sustainable livelihoods and eco-tourism initiatives, flood control and disaster preparedness, community awareness and policy harmonisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A focus on a source to sea approach, gender equality and the inclusion of vulnerable groups ensures equitable resource management and benefits for
