Summary
Invasive alien plant species (IAPS) seriously threaten biodiversity and livelihoods. This project will support implementation of the Tanzanian National Invasive Species Strategy and Action Plan in the Lake Natron Basin, targeting the invasive tree Prosopis juliflora. We will strengthen coordination among actors at different decision-making levels, and engage them in jointly developing a prosopis strategy, setting up a surveillance system also suitable for other IAPS and in implementing coordinated management. The lessons learned will be shared with actors across Tanzania.
