Promoting successful biofuel production in developing economies requires an appreciation of local culture. In Tanzania, where soaring economic expectations have accompanied disappointing commercial outcomes, contemporary project managers would do well to adopt inclusive agricultural planning strategies. Overlooked in the past, Tanzania's farmers now demand a place at the project planning table. Meanwhile, the Tanzanian government has called on the Japan International Cooperation Agency to assess local obstacles to economic development. Strongly influenced by Professor Ikujiro Nonaka, the Japan International Cooperation Agency's methodology suggests community participation and local management are central to project success, and both are vital to assessing success and failure in Tanzania's Jatropha biofuel industry.

Well before island nations began to consider rising ocean levels, a feature of global climate change (GCC), they have been concerned with the allocation of water resources. The purpose of this chapter is to examine the efforts of universities, in the Tanzanian cities of Zanzibar and Dar-Es-Salaam, to promote environmentally responsible entrepreneurial projects, which sustain women's economic empowerment, while advancing the general development of the broader community, in which they live. The object of this discussion is to examine the history of sea-weed production, and to examine how Zanzibar's seaweed farmers, who are largely women, have responded to adversity, and what, if anything, they can do to address current difficulties.

Well before island nations began to consider rising ocean levels, a feature of global climate change, they have been concerned with the allocation of water resources. The purpose of this chapter is to revisit the efforts of Zanzibar's academic, as well as private and public institutions, as they promote environmentally responsible entrepreneurial projects, while advancing women's economic empowerment. Analysis will examine the history of seaweed production and consider how Zanzibar's seaweed farmers have recently responded to the dislocations associated with global climate change. This discussion will also consider to what extent Zanzibari seaweed production reflects the norms enshrined in the United Nation's Rio + 20 platform, and the language of the UN's 2030 sustainable development goals.
