Mbeya Regional Commissioner Juma Homera commended Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA) and the National Environment Management Council (NEMC) for their research on restoring natural vegetation in water sources. The research, in collaboration with the Sustainable Catchment Management through Enhanced Environmental Flow Assessment (EFLOWS) project, included tree planting exercises and produced useful findings for promoting the flow of water from rivers to the ocean. The six-day training for senior leaders from Tanzania, Mozambique, Madagascar, and Kenya aimed to enhance understanding of water and environment issues. The project, supervised by Prof Japhet Kashaigili, focused on assessing water quantity and quality to sustain ecosystems and human livelihoods. The training equipped leaders to address challenges impacting water and the environment and emphasized cooperation among countries in the Western Indian Ocean. Wankyo Mnono from the Vice President’s Office highlighted the importance of implementing the assessment’s recommendations for communities living near rivers and oceans. Funded by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and implemented by SUA and NEMC, the project aims to promote sustainable water management and environmental conservation.
