“…Depending on local weather and climatic conditions, most respondents engaged in mixed livelihood activities (56.7%) and farming (12.5%), compared to about 20.2% who relied on pastoralism as a core activity. This is consistent with Kabote (2018), Kitasho (2020), Yanda et al (2021), and NTRI (2021); who highlighted voluntary transitions from core pastoralism to engagement in diversified activities as a means to enhance livelihood resilience in the area.…”

“…Researchers noted that increased knowledge and exposure influenced awareness, engagement attitudes and the roles of youth in the area. Kimaro et al (2018), Makonnen (2018), andYanda et al (2021) 2018) also correlated comparable findings, highlighting the influence of indigenous knowledge on rural livelihoods. Furthermore, the researchers noted that increased awareness levels enhanced livelihood diversification and maximised local resilience.…”

This study employed a mixed methodology to assess the effectiveness of youth engagement strategies in climate change agenda and sustainable development within Naitolia village, in Monduli district Tanzania. Non-probability sampling techniques were used to determine a total of 147 youthful respondents aged between 15 and 35 years from Ormang’wai and Engusero sub-villages. Qualitative data were collected using FGDs, in-depth interviews and direct field observations; while quantitative data were collected using respondent questionnaires. The findings reveal that 81.0% of respondents had awareness of the explicit and implicit engagement strategies in the area. Binary logistic regression model showed that mixed livelihoods and education systems significantly influenced the respondents’ awareness and engagement trends in priority development goals. Most engagement strategies embraced a combination of explicit and implicit strategies to enhance livelihood resilience. However, implicit strategic interventions were popular, while explicit strategies were considered ineffective and tokenistic due to mismatched execution of misaligned ‘one-size-fits-all’ policies. Despite increasing awareness of climate change, existing youth engagement strategies are still misplaced, tokenistic and ineffective in guaranteeing sustainable development in a rapidly changing climate. The study recommends proper mapping and inclusion of key stakeholders to raise public awareness and resource harmonization for enhanced youth engagement in climate change and sustainable development. Specifically, it recommends concrete paradigm shifts in governance, education systems, skills development pathways and financial accessibility to create enabling environments for effective youth engagement and empowerment in climate change and beyond priority development goals.

“…This vulnerability is primarily attributed to its significant reliance on rain-fed agriculture and pastoralism , particularly in regions characterised by arid and semi -arid conditions (Huang et al, 2016). According to Yanda et al (2022), the continent has witnessed a notable increase in temperatures , changes in rainfall patterns, prolonged periods of drought, and an increase in the frequency of extreme weather events.…”

This study investigates the impact of climate change on rainfall and temperature dynamics in Bahi and Mpwapwa Districts , Dodoma Region, Tanzania , over 41 years (1981–2021). The study used historical temperature and precipitation data from the Tanzania Meteorological Authority (TMA). The dataset was analyzed using linear regression and the Mann -Kendall trend test using MS Excel (2010) and SPSS V20. The results indicate slight increases in annual rainfall in Mpwapwa (3.717mm) and Bahi (2.743mm). However, mean decadal precipitation analysis reveals that Mpwapwa experienced a decrease in rainfall during the first three decades , followed by a significant increase in the most recent ten years . Conversely, the amount of rainfall in Bahi remained relatively consistent throughout, except for the last ten years, when there was an increase in precipitation compared to the earlier decade . However , the Mpwapwa district is observing an increase in the number of rainy days, whereas Bahi is experiencing a decrease. Additionally , both districts have encountered a notable rise in both minimum and maximum temperatures . These changes , particularly the increase in temperature and fluctuating rainfall , significantly impact agro-pastoral communities in these semi-arid regions . The study underscores the need for these communities to implement stronger adaptation strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of rising temperatures and changing rainfall patterns.
