An economic empowerment project has been launched in four villages surrounding the Makere South Forest Reserve in the Kasulu District of Tanzania’s Kigoma Region. The initiative aims to provide local communities with alternative sources of income to reduce reliance on the forest’s natural resources.
By offering sustainable livelihood opportunities, the project seeks to mitigate ongoing conflicts between local residents and conservation efforts. The program is designed to balance the economic needs of the population with the protection of the forest reserve.
