Africa Regional: High-Level Regional Conference on Land and Conflict in the East and Horn of Africa

Objectives

This project aimed to explore the linkages between access to justice and the rule of law, peace, sustainable development and climate change and to contribute towards the achievement of the High-Level Regional Conference on Land and Conflict in the East and Horn of Africa in October 2022.

Target Groups

Direct beneficiaries: Experts drawn from representatives of the Member States of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), the African Union, the United Nations system and other international organizations, think tanks, academia, civil society organizations, and the private sector. Indirect beneficiaries: Population of East Africa, particularly women and girls, and parties to land conflicts.

Adaptation & Resilience to Climate Change (ARCC)

General

In this 3-year project, we aim understand how societies, landscapes, ecosystems and Protected Areas have responded to climate change and societal use, to better understand how they may respond in the future. To do this, we will focus on the temporality, spatiality & complexity of interactions and interdependencies of social-ecological systems in north-western Tanzania over the last 300 years. Local livelihoods range from intensive agriculture to livestock herding & hunting-and-gathering, coupled with employment in tourism, conservation, or mineral extraction. Pressures from global climate change, rapid population growth, competing land use (including wildlife conservation), and new 'governmental' regimes pose major threats to livelihoods, their sustainability & resilience to future socio-ecological shocks. We will use a cross-disciplinary approach integrating archaeological, environmental, archival, modern land use & remote sensing data, with collaborative modelling of future land use & land cover change scenarios, to identify past and possible future drivers of change & sources of resilience; generate guidelines for land use planning; build research capacities in Sweden (post-doctoral position) & Tanzania (collaborating researcher) in sustainability studies; strengthen community awareness of and engagement in these issues. Hosted by Uppsala University, the team will involve experienced & junior researchers from Sweden, Tanzania & the UK.

COMMUNITY FARMING FOR GRASSLAND BIRDS

General

The goals of this project are to implement several of the highest priority..actions identified in the Prairie to Pampas Grassland Bird Conservation Business Plan...We propose to 1) to engage local land owners and managers with life-cycle data of individual..Bobolinks breeding on their property; this interaction will result in changes in land management..that rebalance farming and grassland bird needs; 2) to assess the annual life-cycle of individual..Bobolinks by collecting data both while on the breeding grounds and through tracking devices..for the entire annual cycle; and 3) to use a community-based approach integrating the..Audubon volunteers and undergraduate students in collecting and disseminating these data; 4)..establish a network of partners in South America with which to share information gained from..this work.

We propose to 1) to engage local land owners and managers with life-cycle data of individual Bobolinks breeding on their property; this interaction will result in changes in land management that rebalance farming and grassland bird needs; 2) to assess the annual life-cycle of individual Bobolinks by collecting data both while on the breeding grounds and through tracking devices for the entire annual cycle; and 3) to use a community-based approach integrating the Audubon volunteers and undergraduate students in collecting and disseminating these data; 4) establish a network of partners in South America with which to share information gained from this work.
