• For Tanzania, what examples of good practice are there and how can they be scaled up?
• Will the pledge on methane reduction have any impact for Tanzania?
• How much can Blue Carbon projects such as mangrove restoration help?
• How are Tanzanian Climate Activists influencing the debate?
• How much of the 17 billion dollars pledged for community forestry will reach groups in Tanzania and what impact will it have?
• Fundamentally, how will Tanzania pay for tackling climate action?

Julius Nyerere led Tanzania to Independence – and is revered as the Father of the Nation.
He turned it into a model of African socialism. And then had to watch while his policies were reversed, and structural adjustment led to reinstatement of the private sector.
Now we have a new biography, in three volumes. For these and more information regarding the event, please click the link below:

Tanzania has responded to the Coronavirus pandemic in some unusual ways – withholding data from the public, questioning the reliability of tests, and calling for God’s assistance. There are signs that the outbreak was spiralling in late April, since when there has been very little reliable information, though the government claims that the crisis has passed.
This discussion will cover the COVID-19 outbreak in Tanzania and the national response. What is known about the extent of the outbreak? How have the government and the public responded? What evidence is there that the outbreak is truly under control, as the government claims?
Confirmed speakers include:
Zitto Kabwe MP – opposition leader representing ACT Wazalendo
Fatma Karume – prominent lawyer and critic of the government’s response to COVID-19
Ben Taylor – analyst, blogger and editor of Tanzanian Affairs
Roland Ebole – Amnesty International Regional Researcher for Tanzania and Uganda based at the East Africa Regional Office, Nairobi
A representative of the Tanzanian High Commission in London has also been invited to speak.
The event will take place online, using Zoom. There will be a general discussion and a chance to ask questions.
