ABOUT HAKIRASILIMALI
HakiRasilimali (HR) is a platform for civil society organizations (CSOs) registered in Tanzania working towards transparency and accountability in the extractive industry (mining, oil, and natural gas). HakiRasilimali is also the Tanzanian chapter of Publish What You Pay (PWYP), a global coalition of civil societies calling for an open and accountable extractive sector.

DESCRIPTION:
The climatic impacts hardly hit the poorest, particularly in peripheral areas like borderland communities. Climate change increases existing socioeconomic inequalities and causes more people to fall into poverty, which is likely to increase the grievances between community and state. Regarding cross-border updates in climate and environmental considerations, the climatic impacts and disasters raise the attention of cross-border communities due to their detrimental impacts, including flooding events that destroy social infrastructure, settlements, and livelihoods. In line with the above, HakiRasilimali is implementing the “Climate Change and Disaster Risk Reduction” project in the Mtwara region involving cross-border communities from Mtwara and Newala Districts. The project focuses on locally led adaptation (LLA) that integrates conflict sensitivity into climate change and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in border-local contexts. This approach addresses equity concerns and enhances the efficiency of adaptation efforts by empowering local actors with decision-making authority over climate change mitigation, adaptation, and disaster risk reduction. Additionally, the project focuses on building the capacity of local government institutions, environmental CBOs, local stakeholders, and community members to ensure that climate change responses and peacebuilding efforts are mutually supportive in conflict-affected contexts.
