Relevant Context 

Developing country that is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.

Process for Developing NDC 

The NDC was prepared in a consultative and inclusive manner through technical and policy dialogues. A national technical team was established, with representatives from various sectors and relevant institutions. Broad based national and sub-national stakeholders' consultative workshops were held during the process. The consultations brought together Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), Academic and Research institutions, the Private sector, and government institutions from across the country. The National Climate Change Strategy (2012) and the Zanzibar Climate Change Strategy (2014) comprehensively elaborate adaptation and mitigation actions. The strategies aim to, among others, enhance adaptive capacity to climate change thereby ensuring long term resilience; resilience of ecosystems to climate change; and enhanced participation in climate change mitigation activities to contribute to international efforts while ensuring sustainable development. The two climate change strategies and other national climate change and development related documents and processes were the basis for the identification of adaptation and mitigation priorities along with detailed consultations with sectoral experts and other stakeholders.

Description of Monitoring and/or Implementation Mechanism 

The implementation of the NDC is based on the country's various policies, development vision programmes, strategies and action plans, which are set to be reviewed regularly. Therefore, the submitted NDC will be reviewed in a participatory manner to reflect the emerging needs, changes and decisions, particularly the outcome of the 21st Conference of the Parties (COP 21) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, December 2015.

Relevant Context

Process for Developing NDC 

This update was developed through an extensive consultative process with participants from the private and public sectors. The Vice President’s Office was tasked with coordinating this process.

Description of Monitoring and/or Implementation Mechanism 

This update mentions the country’s NDC Implementation Plan, which details “costed prioritized actions per sector to guide stakeholders in supporting the implementation of the NDC.”

Summary of Gender Reference 

Gender is briefly mentioned in the United Republic of Tanzania’s updated NDC. In general, priority sectors for mitigation and adaptation were identified through “initiatives and concepts that foster development and take into account gender equality[.]” Gender mainstreaming is also mentioned as a measure under the Adaptation Contributions section. The country commits to “enhancing gender equity in climate change adaptation actions[,]” as well as promoting “measures to address negative impacts of climate change on young people, women, old and other groups facing inequality, including people with disabilities.”
