The increasing frequency and intensity of climate crises pose a significant threat to the healthcare system in Tanzania. Despite this, health sector plans, programs, and interventions do not explicitly incorporate climate change considerations to address climate-related health risks. Additionally, CSOs' participation in policy-making spaces is limited as they lack knowledge, capacity, and networks to call for and coordinate the nexus of climate-health agenda in policy discussions and planning processes.  

"Strengthening CSO Voice for Climate-Resilient Health System in Tanzania" project is a two-year program that aims to empower at least 15 CSOs from highly vulnerable regions to influence the development and implementation of climate-health adaptation policies. The project focuses on three areas: raising awareness and advocacy skills on the climate-health nexus, facilitating dialogue with government and key stakeholders, plus establishing support structures for trained CSOs continual engagement. This strategic approach is aimed at developing and implementing concrete actions that enhance the resilience of communities to escalating climate-related health challenges.
