The RESOLVE-NbS project is a three-year activity funded by the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD), focusing on high-production agro-ecological landscapes in Iringa and Morogoro within the SACGOT region. The RESOLVE-NbS project contributes to and aligns with Tanzania's National Climate Change programming, including priorities set out in the NDC (2021), currently being revised, and the National Environmental Master Plan for Strategic Interventions (2022-2032), as well as other Tanzania’s global commitments, such as AFR100 and UNFCCC.

The RESOLVE-NbS Project will be delivered through a partnership between IUCN, the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania, and implementing partners, including CAN Tanzania, EAMCEF, CARE Tanzania and WWF Tanzania, and NCMC.

The main objective of the RESOLVE-NbS project is to accelerate the application and use of Nature-based Solutions to address the impacts of climate change and land degradation on food systems and natural ecosystems.

Specifically, the project intends to:

1. Enhance awareness, capacity, and knowledge management for improved NbS planning, mainstreaming, and implementation.
2. Implement NbS for ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA), disaster risk reduction, and mitigation through pilot and scale-up projects, and contribute to conservation, sustainable management, and restoration of natural ecosystems.
3. Integrate gender-sensitive NbS and climate-smart planning into adaptation and disaster reduction policies, strategies, and plans.
