NEW PROGRAM IN KUNDUCHI

POSTED BY PHILLIP WANGWE. AS A MASSAGE TO PEOPLE.

If sustainable development is truly to be our common goal, it must engage the interests and actions, not only of government experts, but of all Tanzanians in all walks of life.  Environmental management must be everybody's responsibility.  Everyone has the opportunity to make environmentally-responsible choices that can reduce or minimise risky impacts on the environment and promote sustainable development.  That responsibility can only be met through cooperative efforts at all levels of society.  The actions of all Tanzanians as consumers and producers, as business operators and as policy-makers have an impact on the environment.  Section 32 of National Environmental Policy (1997).

 As it is stated in the National Environmental Policy; While actions of one person or group alone may appear insignificant, those of twenty-five million Tanzanians do matter when combined at local, regional and national levels.  The protection of the environment shall be the responsibility of each and every Tanzanian, just as the quality of the environment is a concern for each and all. Section 32 of National Environmental Policy (1997).

Dar-es-salaam is among of the regions in Tanzania which are under great pressure of many environmental problems including in coastal surroundings pollution, toxic wastes dispositions, deforestation and destruction of mangroves and othe aquetic plants,  and illegal use of natural resources.

 The dream of having sustainable environmental management is facing some  challenges due to the lack of awareness campaign in many coastal communities base line, especially in Dar es salaam public beaches and fishing sites along the Dar es salaam Indian ocean beach including Kunduchi beach village. The aim of this program is to install in  this community the culture of coastal environmental conservation and management through the anti-pollution campaign based on providing awareness workshop. All this project aims on aquring community participation towards formulation of the major project which is to be conducted in Kunduchi beach fishing area as to ensure a permanent solution against environmental distruction at this fishing area.
