Summary
Marine food resources in Tanzania are dwindling due to over-harvesting, declining fisheries
resources and biodiversity, climate change and non-climate induced environmental degradation.
Aquaculture, now growing at an average annual rate of 11.7% has greatest potential in meeting
future demands for alternative incomes, eliminating hunger and reducing poverty if using farming
methods that make use of the ecosystem services and goods in a sustainable way. The Bilateral
Marine Science Program (BMSP) proposal between Sweden and Tanzania has as a primary
objective of generating sufficient analytical capacity and research based knowledge, technologies
and innovations in fisheries and aquaculture for food security, adapting to climate change, poverty
alleviation, sustainable resource management and inclusive development. Thus we will be able to
evaluate and predict interconnections between fisheries resources and ecosystem functions,
biodiversity and the ecosystem services provided by coastal ecosystems as well as identifying
drivers of change. The suggested project seeks to promote ecosystem approach to fisheries
management and aquaculture development in Tanzania so as to address the multiple ecological
challenges facing the fisheries subsector, integrated multi-trophic aquaculture of tilapia and
shellfish to reduce pressure on fisheries, popularizing low cost drying technology combining solar
tunnel driers with windmill generated electricity to reduce postharvest fisheries loss, develop
postgraduate laboratories and strengthen fishermen centres to address the emerging entrepreneur
requirements for quality seeds, feeds and pond/cage management technologies, and decision
support tools centre to facilitate marine and coastal planning and management. The BMSP
proposed budget is SEK 22.5 million with research and training partnership involving researchers
from the University of Dar es Salaam, Stockholm University and Swedish University of
Agricultural Sciences; 4 Postdocs; course based training of 18 PhDs (5 being continuing ones) and
8 MSc to address the Tanzanian problems. Students will be jointly supervised by experts from
partiner Universities.

Popular science Description
The amount of fish caught in Tanzania and worldwide has been dwindling for over a decade now
partly due to over-harvesting, declining fish stocks and diversity and environmental changes caused
by climate and non-climate factors. To address the situation, fisherfolk are encouraged and assisted
in diversifying their livelihood/income/food production into non-fishing activities e.g. artificial fish
farming. Private, state and community owned conservation areas have been established but their
management is still insufficient and not scientifically based. There is also a need to significantly
reduce postharvest fisheries loses that currently stands at 30-40%. The Bilateral Marine Science
program (BMSP) between Tanzania and Sweden has had a modest success in promoting tilapia,
milkfish, pearl oyster farming and value addition during the last ten years. Success stories here
include the recent emergence of small and medium aqua-enterprises that are collaborating with the
BMSP. Their limitations include unavailability of reliable seed, lack of genetic management and
poor hatchery procedures thus degrading the performance of farmed species through inbreeding,
genetic drift and uncontrolled hybridization. This proposal apart from seeking to address these
challenges to stabilize the initiated farming, intends to assess and recommend technologies suitable
for maintaining the integrity of biologically rich environments and minimize impacts, reduce post-
harvest losses, assess and recommend legal and policy environment to promote ecosystem
approach to fisheries management and aquaculture development. With Sweden significantly
advanced in implementing such measures, the Swedish partners in the BMSP would be
instrumental in enabling Tanzania to facilitate blue growth. The proposed BMSP budget is SEK
22.5 million with research partnership to involve the University of Dar es Salaam, Stockholm
University and Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, 4 Postdocs, and course based training
of 18 PhD (5 being continuing ones) and 8 MSc, to address Tanzania problems. Students will be
jointly supervised by experts from collaborating partners.

ENCLUSURE 1
1.0 Introduction
The proposed Bilateral Marine Science Programme (BMSP) 2015-2025 meant to “Consolidating
Research and Analytical Capacity in Fisheries and Aquaculture Technologies for Food Security,
Adapting to Climate Change, Sustainable Resource Management and Inclusive Development” is a
research training partnership program between the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) units
namely Institute of Marine Sciences (IMS), Department of Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries (DASF)
and Department of Botany (BOTANY), Stockholm University (SU) units namely Department of
Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences (DEEPS) and Department of Physical Geography and
Quaternary Geology (DPQG) and Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) units
namely, Swedish Centre for Aquaculture (SCA), Department of Animal Nutrition and
Management, Department of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health, Department of
Animal Breeding and Genetics. It has been developed in response to Sida call of August 2014 for
enhancing Tanzania-Sweden research partnerships 2015-2020 with the view to facilitating the
UDSM aspirations “Towards Enhanced Sustainability of Strategic Research and Innovation
Systems for Inclusive Development in Tanzania”. With DPQG and SLU as new partners, the
remainder are partners in the BMSP since 1990 when the program was conceived with the view to
transform the research capacity in marine and aquatic sciences such that multi-disciplinary
problem-solving research prevails. Now the BMSP boasts with a total of 36 PhD (IMS (17), DASF
(16) and BOTANY (3) and 4 MSc (all at DASF); encompasses a broad spectrum of marine and
aquatic scientists, harnessed to undertake multi-disciplinary problem-solving research. For over a
decade, the BMSP research activities have been closely linked with development efforts and the
Western Indian Ocean Regional research network. The proposed activities for 2015-2020 will take
full advantage of its achievements in capacity building within the BMSP, those absorbed in sister
Universities, network of research-supported fisherfolk communities, emerging entrepreneurs, the
governance, and students (Post-docs, PhD & MSc). Emphasis during the next five years is to
consolidate its capacity to facilitate sustainable fisheries and aquaculture development while
meeting the challenges of Global Change. Jointly supervised PhD students by relevant experts from
Tanzania and Sweden will be registered at UDSM, SU and SLU. However, for their sustained
outputs, postgraduate laboratories and fishermen centers will be strengthened, some of the MSc
and PhD programs in marine and aquatic sciences and technologies will be reviewed and others
developed at the UDSM.
The proposed research and capacity building activities are in line with the UDSM Concept note for
Sida support during 2015-2020, whose outputs are aimed at facilitating both the Tanzania’s Long
Term Perspective Plan (LTPP) (URT, 2012) and Big Results Now (BRN) programme designed to
fast-track the Tanzania Development Vision (TDV) 2025 by resolving constraints to results
delivery in fisheries subsector of agriculture. The proposal is also in line with the National Fisheries
Development Policy of 2010, National Aquaculture Development Strategy of 2009, UDSM
Corporate Strategic Plan for 2014-2023, UDSM Five-Year Rolling Strategic Plan (2014/15-
2018/19), the Five-Year Rolling Strategic Plans for 2014/15-2018/19 as well as the Research
Agenda of the UDSM participating units namely IMS, DASF and BOTANY.
2.0 Background
The LTPP and BRN programme recognise agriculture as the major economic growth driver sector
as it employs over 70% of the Tanzanians. Out of that population the fisheries subsector employs
4
nearly 15%, contributes over 580,000 tons of fish and seaweeds. Aquaculture contributes over 29%,
mainly seaweed (25%) whose industry stabilization was significantly contributed by the BMSP
studies. Beyond Asia, Tanzania has experienced strong growth in seaweed farming (mostly
Kappaphycus alvarezii) for export markets during the last decade (FAO, 2014). However, capture
fisheries in Tanzania and worldwide has stagnated for over a decade due to over-harvesting,
declining fisheries resources and biodiversity, climate change and non-climate induced
environmental degradation. Food security in the subsector calls for a wider ecosystem stewardship
and improved governance. To that end, the proposed program activities intend to facilitate blue
growth with a focus on:
Encouraging and assisting in livelihood/income/food production diversification into non-
fishing activities e.g. aquaculture (both marine and inland) and ecotourism;
Strengthening ecosystem-based adaptation and mitigation; and
Reducing postharvest loses and promoting value-addition to marine and aquatic products.
Growing at an average annual rate of 8.8% worldwide and 11.7% in Africa, aquaculture has
greatest potential in meeting future demands for fresh fish, eliminating hunger, promoting health
and reducing poverty (FAO, 2014). Tanzania’s vast natural resources accompanying inland water
bodies (61,500 km2), territorial sea (64,000 km2) and Exclusive Economic Zone (223,000 km2),
presents an opportunity to capitalize in producing food surplus and thus export a myriad of products
to the region and the international market and as an attractive destination for recreation and
ecotourism. Annual capture fishery so far provides only about 9% of potential (2.7 million tonnes
with 730,000 from shallow waters and about 2 million in deep sea) thus contributing 10% foreign
exchange, 3.0-6.6% GDP and 30% protein intake to the Tanzania population (de Graaf and
Garibaldi, 2014). With annual production of over 132,000 tones (FW) seaweed mainly (over 70%)
from Zanzibar and nearly 20,000 tones fish from inland (~50%) and the remainder from
marine/estuarine farming, aquaculture contributes less than 1% of the GDP. The Fisheries Sector
Development Program (translating the Tanzania Vision 2025) aims to, among others, double the
fisheries contribution to the GDP, increase fisheries exports, artificial farming of fish and seaweed
production by 25%, 800% and 50%, respectively, and thus fisherfolk employment.
For aquaculture development to be economically and ecologically sustainable, efforts must be
directed towards farming methods that make use of the ecosystem services and goods without
severely or irreversibly degrading them. With the view to stabilize the ongoing inland and marine
tilapia and pearl oyster farming, the proposed program intends to:
i. Establish the scientific basis for production of good quality seeds, feeds and improved
pond/cage management.
ii. Assess the technical and economic factors and their relationships to resource use, waste
production and environmental and social impacts of different aquaculture systems in
Tanzania as a basis for providing recommendations for a sustainable long-term production of
aquatic products (mainly fish) in Tanzania.
iii. Analyse how different aquaculture systems could be developed to maximize the benefits that
society receives from both aquaculture production and the services provided by adjoining
ecosystems, and how these systems could be made more resilient to climate change through
ecosystem-based adaptation (EBA) and mitigation (EBM) strategies.
With aquaculture still developing in Tanzania, most fish protein is contributed by marine artisanal
fisheries and also inland fisheries, which contribute one third of the total catches (de Graaf &
5
Garibaldi, 2014). However, with increased climate induced phenomenon such as temperature rise,
the future of artisanal fishers looks gloomy as warm-water species are generally being displaced
towards the poles and coastal ecosystems are experiencing changes in the size and productivity of
their habitats (Cochrane et al., 2009). Against such a background, an ecosystem approach to
fisheries management (EAFM) is paramount to address the multiple ecological challenges as well
as needs and desires of societies without jeopardizing options for future generations. BMSP
propose to:
(iv) Assess the EAFM supporting and hindering environments in Tanzania.
Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and community-based conservation (CBC) initiatives are valuable
EBA tools for biodiversity and critical habitat conservation. Nevertheless, MPAs and CBCs in
Tanzania and elsewhere do not seem to succeed in reducing the decline in marine biodiversity as
much as hoped due to factors such as inadequate management and inability to protect against the
emerging global threats such as elevated seawater temperature and ocean acidification. The BMSP
2015-2020 intends to among others:
(v) Assess MPA and CBC supporting and hindering legal environments;
(vi) Establish large scale effects of climate and non-climate induced changes and their link with
social and economic processes within the coastal zone.
About one-third of the total world food produced (1.3 billion tonnes) for human consumption is
lost annually (FAO, 2014). This estimate includes fisheries post-harvest losses for unutilized
captured/harvested fish, damages and spoils that affect their nutritional value, and price that
deteriorates due to fluctuating market forces. The proposed program intends to study various ways
to:
(vii) Reduce post-harvest losses and promote production of value-added products.
(viii) Build research and analytical capacity in (i-vii) and national network for sustainable
fisheries and aquaculture development, food security and poverty reduction in Tanzania.
2.1. Context of the program in relation to the university concept paper
The UDSM concept note (CN) reflects the UDSM commitment to resolve constraints to results
delivery in the growth drivers sectors. Some of the STI and R&D institutional challenges to
improve outputs and markets for the sectors include the need to increase technological innovations
(UDSM-CP section 2.3). Regarding agriculture subsector’s development (UDSM-CN section
5.1.1), notably fisheries and aquaculture industries, their developmental challenges include:
(a) Insufficient and erratic use of science and technology;
(b) Negligible contribution of the agricultural value addition chain;
(c) Overdependence on and vulnerability to weather patterns and climate change;
(d) Unsustainable resource management;
(e) Poor genetic potential of the local stocks for crops, livestock and aquaculture development;
(f) Insufficient skilled personnel for providing extension services; and
(g) Inadequate knowledge and skills for farmers to practice aquaculture commercially; to adopt
and adapt appropriate technologies of aquaculture; and reducing postharvest loses.
Against this background, the programme’s overall objective is to increase analytical capacity and
improve environment for sustained research and innovation outputs in fisheries and aquaculture
for food security, adapting to climate change, poverty alleviation, sustainable resource management
and inclusive development.
6
Specific objectives: Taking into account achievements from earlier supports from Sida and other
development partners, the BMSP intends during 2015-2020:
(i) Increase the generation, translation and dissemination of high quality research and innovations
outputs addressing fisheries and aquaculture bottlenecks in Tanzania through
multidisciplinary teams for food security, adapting to climate change, poverty alleviation,
sustainable resource management and inclusive development.
(ii) Increase UDSM staff expertise in pioneering fields for fisheries and aquaculture blue growth
by training (at MSc, PhD, Postdoctoral and other PhD-holders) and analytical capacity
output in the fields by revising and developing new MSc and PhD programs.
(iii) Specific Objective 3: Establish supportive environment (PG labs, fisheries and aquaculture
centres; collaboration with industry) for high quality and sustainable research and
innovation outputs in identified priority fields.
2.2. The scientific issues and the basis of the layout of the training program
2.2.1 Stabilizing tilapia and half pearl farming: With a population growth of about 3%,
aquaculture development is high in the national agenda to improve food security, adapt to climate
change and as measure for fisheries management. Responding to those challenges, the BMSP has
achieved modest success in the past decade in stimulating outputs of milkfish, marine and fresh
water tilapia and half pearl farming. Success stories here include the recent emergence of small and
medium aqua-enterprises that are collaborating with the BMSP. Their limitations include
unavailability of reliable seed, lack of genetic management and poor hatchery procedures thus
affecting the performance of farmed species through inbreeding, genetic drift and uncontrolled
hybridization, diseases, etc. Equally important are technologies to maintain the integrity of bio-rich
environment and minimize impacts. Apart from efforts in addressing these challenges, the BMSP
has comparatively insufficient research capacity in areas of aquaculture breeding-, diseases and
epizootics management-, green production- and value addition-technologies that are economically
accessible and readily disseminated (see identified gaps in Table 1). During the 2012-2025 phase
the BMSP aquaculture research agenda emphasizes on (i) integrated multi-trophic aquaculture
(IMTA) with the view to stabilizing tilapia (inland and marine) and shellfish farming; (ii)
developing high quality low cost feeds; (iii) promote research based selective breeding programme
for tilapia and shellfish based on growth performance and robustness; and (iv) scientific foundation
for evaluating and developing techniques associated with high quality seed production.
A. Tilapia and half pearl farming investigations and capacity building activities for facilitating
blue growth, responsiveness to climate-stimuli and geared to creating wealth, stimulating
economic growth and poverty reduction among youths and women in coastal and upcountry
communities include:
A1: High quality low cost fish feed
o Perform a field survey aiming at investigating and comparing inputs and outputs e.g.
production systems, management, feeding, socio-economic characteristics etc., of small-
scale fish farming systems and to evaluate alternative feed formulations and potential feed
ingredients.
o Based on the results from the survey a selection of locally available feed ingredients (could
be either of vegetable, seaweed, animal, insect or microbial origin) and conserving treatment
of locally feed ingredients will be followed by evaluation of the nutritional compositions.
o Performing digestibility and growth trials to assess the nutritional and feed values.
7
o Evaluating intensive, semi-intensive and extensive pond cultured fish, by feeding fish with
formulated feeds in combination with nutrients from the natural food web
A2: Fish health and food safety
o Identify the most significant fish diseases and health problems in different Tanzanian fish
farming systems.
o Investigations of chemical and pharmaceutical use and possible impact on fish health and
food safety.
o Risk evaluation based on the results from the above listed investigations in order to propose
measures and guidelines to prevent outbreaks and thereby improve fish health and food
safety, increase production, and reduce the use of chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
A3: Improved broodstock and sustainable fingerling production for Nile, Rufiji, Mozambique and
Wami/Zanzibar tilapia
o Improved fingerling production for direct supply to the farms: The volume, uniformity and
health status of the fingerlings will be improved as a combination of improved genetics of
the broodstock as well as improved larvae production.
o Establish tilapia breeding programmes aimed at late maturity (good market size)
o Production of hybrid tilapia including all male without using hormone.
A4: Improvement of Pinctada margaritifera and Pteria penguin broodstocks for improved spat
output and supply to farms
o Establish quality broodstocks, assess suitability of various techniques for spawning (e.g.
standard induction techniques, gonad stripping technique, artificial maturation of immature
ova, artificial activation of non-motile sperm, and in vitro fertilisation techniques), egg
incubation, larvae handling, grow-out and feeding
o Develop shellfish feeds: Microalgae selection involving species of the genera e.g.
Cheatoceros, Isochrysis and Tetraselmis as pearl oyster feed; develop polyculture system
involving farmed oyster and seaweed.
A5: Integrated aquaculture systems
o Re-circulating water system (Aquaponics)
Analyse high value crops suitable for integration, water use efficiency and microbial
diversity and their role in aquaponics
Address issues related to techniques, disease transmission and consumer acceptability
on the use of waste and wastewater in aquaculture.
o Integrated Agriculture Aquaculture (IAA)
Develop sustainable and environmentally acceptable fish culture systems that are
integrated with crop and/or animal production, and that are designed to optimize the
use of available resources.
Analyse high value crops suitable for IAA, water use efficiency and impacts on the
environment
o Integrated marine crop-fish farming (IMCF)
8
Assess blue green algae, microalgae and seaweeds suitable for integration in re-
circulating fish farming system
Investigate temporal replacement of species within a site for wastes generated to benefit
new species (e.g. marine tilapia and Caulerpa/Ulva/ Chaetomorpha/ Spirulina species)
and potential use of the added crop
o Tilapia cage/pond culture
To develop appropriate cage, pond and tank management practises (site selection,
system construction, feeding regimes, system management) for increased tilapia
production.
A6: Socio-ecological analysis of tilapia and oyster pearl farming
o Socio-ecological survey of tilapia and oyster pearl farming to generate information (income,
food nutrition, employment opportunities, energy demand, pollution load) for developing
conceptual model of different farming method for comparing the resource use and
environmental and social impact from different farming methods
o Explore the social and institutional contexts in which people engage in aquaculture
A7: Managing Ecosystem Services for Sustainable Wetland Management, Aquaculture
Development and Climate Change adaptation in Tanzania
o Identifying key ecosystem services and values linked to the wetlands and coastal areas in
which the aquaculture operation is based
o Development of different aquaculture development scenarios
o Quantifying the impact on key ecosystem services under different aquaculture development
scenarios
o Identify trade-offs between ecosystem services and possible impacts on different
stakeholders well-being and climate change resilience under different aquaculture
development scenarios
A8: Capacity building
o Review existing and develop new postgraduate programmes for sustained (A1-7) outputs;
o Develop guidelines for hatchery, cage, pond and tank management for effectively
disseminating outputs in A1-7; and
o Strengthen postgraduate research laboratories and fishermen aquaculture/mariculture
centres, training and knowledge sharing (outreach) programs at UDSM partners.
2.2.2 Fisheries postharvest losses and value addition
Over 65% of fish in Tanzania are marketed fresh while artisanal and industrial fish processing
accounts for about 8% and 27%, respectively (de Graaf and Garibaldi, 2014). Fish are preserved
through such methods as drying, smoking, salting and cold storage. Improper fish handling and
storage in Tanzania may inflict post-harvest losses as high as 30-40% of the harvest thus affecting
Tanzania fish markets in the Far East and Lake Zone region e.g. Congo DRC, Burundi and Rwanda.
To reduce the extent of loses for poor families and thus enable farmers to produce quality products,
the BMSP proposes studies in the:
9
o Development of low cost drying technology devises powered by hybrid solar- in combination
with windmill-generated electricity and assessment of their efficiency in facilitating salted-
and unsalted-fish product processing;
o Improvement of packaging, assess market acceptability, shelf-life, and economic costs
compared with traditional methods.
2.2.3 Ecosystem based adaptation (EBA) to climate- and non-climate changes
The MPAs (including CBCs) are among valuable EBA tools for biodiversity and critical habitat
conservation, ecotourism, and essential contributors to sustainable fisheries through providing
refugia for reproduction and feeding, protecting full life cycles and thus generating sustainable
catches outside the MPAs themselves (Munang et al., 2011). Against that background, MPAs area
coverage in Tanzania (in km2) has, for example, been increased from about 100 in 1991 to 2900 in
2002 and 6000 in 2011 with the BMSP output contributing significantly to their development. MPAs
now occupy ~10% of the territorial waters and are intended to double by 2025.
A: MPA management challenges
MPAs in Tanzania and elsewhere have not been able to reduce the decline in biodiversity as much
as hoped partly due to factors such as inadequate management. Jointly working with practitioners
and policy makers, the BMSP is therefore challenged to assist MPAs in:
i. Critically evaluating the way community, state and private based MPAs protects coastal
ecosystem and recommend relevant legislative or administrative changes
ii. Based on findings in (i) recommend and develop decision support tools (see section 2.2.4) to
engage communities in managing coastal environments.
B: Ecosystem response to climate induced episodes
Ecosystems such as mangrove and seagrasses are also representing a large part of global carbon
burial (Costanza et al., 2008, Nellemann et al., 2009, Mcleod et al., 2011, Duarte et al., 2013).
Despite significant increase on our understanding of how marine habitats reacts to climate change
related pressures, we are presently lacking information on how these changes are affecting on a
larger scale and link with social and economic processes within the coastal zone. We propose to:
Compile available information and update maps on distribution patterns, identify gaps and
devise unified, meaningful information
Characterize the key environmental drivers of change and the processes behind the services
provided and monetary valuation of site-specific services provided by marine shallow
ecosystems for meaningful and justified conservation efforts.
C: Climate change and artisanal fisheries
Regarding climate induced effects on small pelagic fish species and artisanal fisheries, the BMSP
proposes studies to:
Establish linkages between ecological, climate and non-climate change induced effects on
ecosystem goods (e.g. small pelagic) and services on coastal community’s livelihoods and EBA
for food security
Identify knowledge gaps on biological and physico-chemical factors relevant for EAFM
implementation
10
Study the connectivity between land and aquatic systems (including wetlands) focusing on land-
based sources and activities that affect aquatic ecosystem integrity and productivity.
Assess impacts and adaptations to climate change in relation to fisheries management,
aquaculture development and coastal livelihoods
D: Assess and monitor the socio-economic factors associated with small scale fisheries
o Identify socio-economic factors relevant for small scale fisheries management
o Conduct household surveys to assess fisher’s livelihoods
o Assess the contribution of small scale fisheries at both micro and macro levels
o Conduct market and value chain analysis of small fish species
E: Link ecological, socio-economic factors and assess risks and priorities for ecosystem approach
to small scale fishery management
o Establish interlinkages between ecological and socio-economic factors
o Analyse the risks and enabling factors for achieving EAFM objectives
F: Establishing climatic trends
Few Tanzania coastal communities are organized to mitigate impacts of today’s extreme events,
without which climate induced phenomenon may cause annual losses of at least 26-55 million USD
by 2030 and 100-200 million USD by 2050. To improve understanding of historical and future
climatic trends we propose to:
Comprehensively analyse historical oceanographic datasets derived from satellite platforms
and in-situ based platforms with the aim of getting a better understanding of the present and
future climatic patterns.
2.2.4 Robust environment for science-based development of fisheries and aquaculture
A: Strengthen postgraduate (PG) laboratories: With both IMS and DASF relocating to spacious
premises at Buyu Zanzibar and UDSM main campus, respectively, the BMSP proposes
strengthening PG laboratories at the two premises to facilitate continued studies for fisheries and
aquaculture development.
B: Strengthening IMS Mariculture and Kunduchi Aquaculture and Fisheries Centres: Among the
most effective forms of facilitating research interactions between the governance, academia and
industry/business/service for promoting economic development include physical environments
with designated set of resources, including a team of sufficiently trained analytical capacity and
dedicated technology demonstration facilities. During 2015-2020, the BMSP proposes that IMS
Mariculture Centre (MC) and Kunduchi Aquaculture and Fisheries Centre (KAFC) be further
strengthened to respond to emerging aqua-enterprises’ need for reliable broodstock, seeds, feed
development and pond/cage/tank management technologies. Benefits of the proposed centres
include facilitating the (i) testing of emerging aquaculture technologies, (ii) centres expert to stay
abreast of product development, (iii) hands-on training of a critical mass of people capable of
absorbing, adopting, adapting and applying the knowledge and technology for poverty eradication
(see challenges a-g in section 2.1), (iii) income generation for sustaining research.
C: Strengthening Decision Support Tools Centre: With the IMS as a National Oceanographic Data
Centre, a unit responsible for providing decision support tools (DSTs) to marine and coastal
managers was initiated in 2008. The BMSP proposes further strengthening of the DSTs in
recognition of the fact that substantial amount of both local and scientific knowledge exist on the
11
characteristics of Tanzania coastline (the intertidal) e.g. habitats, species distribution, associated
factors in mangroves, coral reefs as well as biota and flora, resources and activities. However,
existing knowledge and innovations are insufficiently used in planning and management process.
As a result the coastline remains largely unplanned and full of conflicting activities. Lack of
coordinated visualization and spatial analysis has prevented predictions of cascading effects of
habitat destruction and climate change impacts are likely to worsen the situation. The proposed
DSTs is to offer computer-based systems that manipulates and presents spatial data to support
informed decision making. Such tools are tailored GIS-based systems that could be applied by
managers to support placement of e.g. new MPAs, zoning, monitoring, or analyses of biodiversity
or habitat suitability analyses.
Staff training in fields shown in Table 1 is suggested for strengthening BMSP outputs and the
proposed centre activities within the UDSM.

2.3. Relevance of the research areas and demand of expertise
With declining natural fisheries stocks, aquaculture has a potential to feed the increasing human
population, eliminating hunger, ensuring fisherfolk employment. However, for every ton of fish
produced, aquacultures releases ~60 kg of nitrogen and ~9 kg of phosphorus to the surrounding
sea. Moreover, the practice of overfeeding, overstocking, illegal extension of farm sites and
increased antibiotic and chemical use may lead to loss of biodiversity, high incidences of resistant
12
disease causative microbes. The distinctiveness of the proposed research areas and analytical
capacity development strategy lies in our focus on addressing fisheries and aquaculture
development challenges (a) to (g) under section 2.1 through enhanced sustainability in research
and innovation outputs for promoting blue growth: strengthening the training of PhD locally; MC,
KAFC and DST for consolidating focused multidisciplinary research for sustainable research and
innovation outputs in identified fields.
2.4. Capacity building strategy
2.4.1 Human resource development: So far all the PG students trained by the BMSP have been
employed in Tanzania with 80% absorbed by University network and the remainder by
Government departments responsible for fisheries management. The BMSP will continue with its
rigorous recruitment system for both MSc and PhD students. During 2015-2020, most MSc and
PhD graduates will be absorbed in the UDSM so as to facilitate outputs in earmarked research
themes and teaching programs to be revised and those planned for development (see section
2.4.1.3). For promoting recruitment of competant PhD and MSc applicants for research gaps shown
in Table 1, the UDSM, SLU and SU postgraduate admission, registration and examinations
regulations will be adhered to. Female candidates will be given special priority in allocation of
fellowships. So far the BMSP has over 30% female students and the aim is to improve to 50%.
2.4.1.1 Student training for effective research: For purposes of developing research skills and
culture, synergisms between Sweden and Tanzania among supervisors, students, and between
supervisors and students, all students shall receive competence enhancing courses offered in
Sweden and locally (where applicable) as per regulations of the SU, SLU and UDSM. An inception
workshop for students will be field based with discussions centred on how to be an effective
scientist, choose research question, and write fundable proposals and scientific papers. Local
program steering committees (see section 7 on program management) will be responsible for
assisting students in developing relevant and student centred research queations in line with the
overall program objectives that responds to national and UDSM needs. Program level annual
review meetings will be devoted to addressing student research results and challenges as well as
planning of manuscripts and their assessment by teams of supervisors to reduce rejection rate in
international peer reviewed journals.
2.4.1.2 Synergism measures: Short (1-3 months) exchange visits to SU and SLU for students
registered at the UDSM and Tanzanian senior scientists participating in the earmarked
multidisciplinary research teams will be arranged when deemed necessary. The Swedish
counterparts have gladly accepted that they will not charge bench fees for such visits that will
involve data analysis and literature review, mainly for PhD students. Tanzanian senior scientists
will use exchange visits to make use of analytical equipment not yet available in Tanzania and the
region, tap expertise relevant to Tanzania research tasks and establish international contacts. For
strengthening regional and international networks, all registered students and their supervisors will
be encouraged to attend at least one regional and one international conference annually to present
their results. As MSc and PhD thesis at UDSM, SLU and SU are currently based on papers and
manuscripts, all students will publish co-authored papers involving their respective supervisors and
co-workers who may also be fellow students.
2.4.1.3 Strengtherning UDSM Training Programs and their outputs: For the SLU and SU to
assist in building UDSM training programs with sustainable output of high quality analytical
capacity for viable research and innovation systems in Tanzania and the WIO region, the existing
regional course based MSc (Marine Sciences) at IMS and MSc (Fisheries and Aquaculture) and
13
PhD in Aquatic Sciences at DASF will be jointly reviewed as deemed necessary and new programs
in MSc (Marine Technology) and PhD (Marine Sciences) at IMS will be jointly developed by mid-
2016. The courses will initially be jointly taught by Swedish and Tanzanian resource persons. On
year four and five of the BMSP, when the earmarked PhD students will be graduating, the Swedish
expertise will be systematically replaced by the newly developed analytical capacity. Joint PhD
degrees will be offered after the SLU, SU and UDSM managements have put in place modalities
to facilitate such programs.
2.4.1.4 Peer supervision: To address supervisory bottlenecks (see section 5.2), competence
enhancing courses for PhD holders shall include supervision courses (see section 5.1). To facilitate
exchange of expertise in student supervision, all students will be jointly supervised by experts from
Swedish and Tanzanian participating institutions. Scientist from SU and SLU will also teach and
supervise students registered at the UDSM participating institutions. All MSc will be registered
locally, however 50:50 of the PhDs will be registered in Tanzanian and Swedish participating
institutions, respectively. Regarding supervision, all PhD and MSc students will be jointly
mentored by experts from Tanzania and Sweden while working on local Tanzanian earmarked
problems. The PhDs under the sandwich program will be offered 3-6 months as necessary for data
analysis, literature reviews, course works, and some of the thesis writing in Sweden. The BMSP
will continue with initiatives to encourage Swedish students with own funding to conduct research
on some of the proposed priority research areas.
2.4.1.5 Continued improvement of fisheries research network in Tanzania: Apart from the
proposed BMSP research teams being composed of senior scientists from the partner Universities
(UDSM, SU and SLU), experts from sister Universities in Tanzania e.g. Sokoine University of
Agriculture, research centres under the Division of Fisheries, and Ministry of Livestock and
Fisheries Development e.g. Tanzania Fisheries Research Institute (TAFIRI) and Fisheries
Education Training Agency (FETA) will be involved in research using supplementary funding
raised from WIOMSA, COSTECH etc (see activities 2,4 and 8 in Enclusure 3).
2.4.2 Fisherfolk and decision support tools centres:
The MC and KAFC have some basic facilities for tilapia larval rearing and grow-out. The BMSP
proposes rehabilitation of one fishermen classroom at MC for development of (i) continuous flow
microalgae/ live feed culture system with controlled environment for producing feed to support
fish larval rearing, (ii) larval culture and nursery system. Conversion of Nautical Science building
into a hatchery for quality seed production and demonstration purposes is also proposed at KAFC.
Facilities for (i) to include 12 x 2000 L tank system for live food production and 36 x 200 L tank
system and (ii) to include 36 x 1000 larval and 36 x 5000 L nursery tank systems.
DSTs are interactive, computer-based system that manipulates and presents spatial data to support
informed, objective, and, in some cases, participatory decision making. Major inputs here are
computers, programs and analytical capacities.
3. Benefits and added value for the partnerships between the UDSM, SLU and SU
The partnership between UDSM and the northern partners i.e. SU and SLU will not only help in
exchange of knowledge, experience and expertise but also foster cultural exchange and technology
transfer, adoption and adaptation. For example, promoting food security in fisheries at a time when
inland and marine ecosystem outputs are constrained by multiple pressures emanating from climate
and non-climate changes episodes, it is crucial to adopt ecosystem-based approaches (EBAP).
14
While tools such as MPAs and IMTA have already emerged globally as effective strategies to
increase the resilience of ecosystems and support sustainable livelihoods, however, quantitative
evidence specifically on the cost-effectiveness and benefits of EBAP is limited and significant
knowledge gaps remain. The proposed partnership with Swedish partners is intended to enable the
UDSM to develop the identified research and analytical capacities. Benefits to be accrued here
include:
Long term benefit (10 years):
UDSM marine and aquatic research and training outputs is sustainable, effectively
addressing challenges (a)-(g) in section 2.1 and thus facilitating achieving vision for TDV
2025.
Short term benefits (5 years):
UDSM participating institutions attain critical mass of human resources for sustained
aquaculture, MPA and ecosystem-based adaptation (EBA) and mitigation (EBM) studies
Research based selective breeding programme for inland and marine tilapia, pearl oysters
with enhanced growth performance and robustness in place
Annual PG student enrolment and output in marine and aquatic sciences doubles.
Scientific foundation for evaluating and developing techniques associated with high
quality tilapia and pearl oyster seed production, feed development in place

5. Capacity Development Process
5.1. Training
Recruitment and training programs: For purposes of addressing bottlenecks (f) and (g) under
section 2.1 as well as systematically develop a sustainable research and innovation systems in
fisheries, both MSc and PhD programs will be revised and others developed at IMS and DASF (see
section 2.4.1). Curriculum development will be carried out as detailed by the Tanzania Commission
for Universities (TCU) template for curriculum submission (see
17
http://pms.tcu.go.tz/Template%20for%20Curriculum%20Submission.pdf) with the Swedish University
participating institutions being involved as stakeholders and experts (see section 2.4.1). New
programs will be formally submitted in October 2015.
The ending phase of the BMSP has 19 ongoing MSc students with over ten of them accomplishing
their studies by October 2015. These candidates together with others outside the BMSP program
ensures a sufficient recruitment base for the planned 18 PhD, five of which are ongoing. The
Program has also planned 8 MSc. Their completion in year two of the program implementation
will provide additional supply of PhD candidates.
Supervisor training: To successfully train 8 MSc and 18 PhD students within the program period
and ensure proper student mentoring by supervisors employed at the UDSM, the program intends
to offer, from time to time, short supervisor’s training program where candidates will be trained in
leadership and student-supervisor communication and ways to instil accountability in the
supervised MSc and PhD students. Furthermore, foreign and local post doc students will be invited
to work within the program, whereas the program will cover only their bench fee, recipients will
be encouraged to seek alternative funding sources for the remaining costs from COSTECH,
WIOMSA etc. Additional measures are as shown under section 2.4.1.4.
Extension personnel: The BMSP will develop training programs for extension personnel at ward
and district levels. Demonstration sites in selected villages will be developed for hands-on training
of farmers and local extension personnel. MC and KAFC facilities will also be useful in training
both extension personnel and farmers.
Information and Technology Dissemination: Outputs in the proposed research activities include
publications, policy briefs, brochures, leaflets, manuals for broodstock management, mass
production of seeds, aquaculture production systems management, as well as hands-on training
workshops. Electronic- and hard-copies of these materials will be distributed widely especially
after the planned training workshops. The MC and KSFC will distribute quality fingerling and
broodstock to strategically located demonstration sites (hatcheries and growout) for easy access by
stakeholders.
5.2. The research environment
Several policies have been developed by the UDSM to facilitate research. They include Research
Policy and Operational Procedures, Intellectual Property Policy, Staff Code of Conduct, and
Guidelines for Establishing Research Centres of Excellence. A Quality Assurance Bureau (QAB)
promotes the adoption of QA culture (see UDSM Concept Note 2020-2025). Despite the existence
of various polices and guidelines to facilitate research, there is plenty of room to improve quality
of research results with the view to improve their social impact and sustainability. So far many
MSc and PhD research projects have not published their results partly because they have not
produced useful products and/or have not been sufficiently trained to produce publishable
manuscripts. Corrective measures here include those shown under section 2.4. The UDSM
emphasises on establishing course based PhD and MSc training programs for students to be
provided with relevant backgrounds before proceeding with research. The UDSM rewarding
system for outreach services is also being reviewed to promote UDSM societal roles. Regarding
the BMSP capacity in fisheries and aquaculture research and training, Table 1 has been produced
after a needs assessment to fully develop relevant institutions with capabilities for knowledge and
technology transfer as well as to foster innovation.
18
To ensure output of high quality analytical capacity and develop viable research and innovation
systems in Tanzania, all PG training programs in Tanzania are subject to approval by the TCU
(see http://www.tcu.go.tz/images/pdf/QA%20GUIDELINES%20AND%20STANDARDS.pdf).
For the case of the UDSM, programs for approval by TCU undergo scrutiny by the Senate.
5.3. The available and required infrastructure
Apart from equipment and rehabilitation shown in section 2.4.2, additional equipment required by
UDSM partiners are detailed in Enclusure 6 (Budgeted research equipment).
5.3.1. Maintenance of expensive equipment, handling and insurance policies available.
The UDSM Central Science Workshop provides services to all university equipment with minor
problems. For major problems, private services are sought from equipment suppliers/their agents
in the region. All equipment and buildings are insured under the University Insurance Policy. All
equipment and laboratory instruments are under the custody of the relevant head of UDSM unit.
Handling of expensive equipment is supervised by the Chief Technician and head of a unit is
responsible for appointing a technician for receiving special training for handling relevant
equipment on a daily basis. Logbooks keep record of day to day utilisation, services undergone and
dates.
Research sustainability measures include the training of human capacity, strengthening of
postgraduate (PG) labs, revision of the existing and developing new course based PhD and MSc
programs for continued PG outputs and incomes to be generated from public services provided by
the proposed MC, KAFC and DSTs development as well as strengthened labs. The MC, KAFC
and DSTs are to also facilitate collaboration between academia, governance and private sector.
5.3.2. Equipment handling and the university regulations
Section 5.2 provides some of the UDSM policies/regulations and guidelines regarding equipment
handling. Basically all equipment supplied by UDSM staff projects are properties of the UDSM
Council. UDSM quarterly reports to Council updates the Council on all UDSM developments.
5.4. Academic networks available
BMSP enjoys a wide coverage of collaborators nationally, regionally and internationally.
Nationally it collaborates among others with Sokoine University of Agriculture, Nelson Mandela
Institute of Technology, Zanzibar State University, Tanzania Fisheries Research Institute
(TAFIRI), The National Environmental Management Council (NEMC) and Ministry of Livestock
and Fisheries Development. All of them happen to benefit from the BMSP PG outputs. The
emerging entrepreneurs in Tanzania such as UWASA, Chaza Cooperative Society, Paje Seaweed
Centre, Faith Aquaculture Services, and Eden Aquaculture Centre are emerging close BMSP
partners. Regionally the BMSP collaborates with WIOMSA, University of Eduardo Mondlane,
University of Mauritius, Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute (KMFRI), Nairobi
University. International partners include the SU, Gothenburg University, Bremen University,
Oldenburg University, and ZMT Centre for Tropical Marine Ecology at Bremen, World Learning
Centre in Vermont, School for International Training (SIT), James Cook University, and Australian
Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR).
5.5. Staff mobility issues and university retention policy
The core retention scheme for most academic and technical university staff is that they are
employed under permanent and pensionable terms. The university also allows its staff to take their
19
sabbatical as well as postdocs outside the university and once they finish they continue with their
positions. There are different leave schemes such as leave without pay, leave of absence, study
leave, secondment which enables staff to come back once they finish their terms. There is, in
addition, a clear and transparent promotion guideline and an Open Performance Review and
Appraisal System (OPRAS).
Postdoc fellowships in the BMSP program during 2015-2020 are intended to increase diversity of
the multidisciplinary teams devoted to the planned research. Four postdoctoral fellows will be
recruited to carry out long-term research (6-24 months) in the Program. Positions will be offered
to PhD holders devoted to academic research, at the beginning of their academic career
(completed their doctorate in the last three years) but with research experience and employment
background that will contribute significantly to the program mission/objectives. Applicants will
choose their topic of research from issues shown under section 2.2.
Eligibility PhD holders from UDSM and other Universities who have completed, or will complete
their requirements for Ph.D. by the Program start date.
PhD holders from renowned research institutions who have completed their dissertation
within the last three years.
Awards: Fellows receive a stipend/salary, medical, vision, dental and life insurance benefits package as
per regulations of the UDSM.
6. The planned contribution and responsibility of each of the partners, participants, positions
in the proposed research training programme.
Enclosure 3 provides a detailed outline of the division of labour for the UDSM, SU and SLU.
Basically all of the proposed students will be jointly supervised by experts from the three partners.
Student capacity enhancing courses provided by partner universities would be crucial in facilitating
PG training in the program. Both the SU and SLU experts would be used in capacity building.
7. Organisation and management of the proposed activities during 2015-2020
Program level management/coordination: The overall BMSP Steering Committee (BMSP-SC)
shall oversee the day to day running of the program and critically evaluate the progress of the
Programme activities. The BMSP-SC shall be composed of the Overall Coordinators for Tanzania
(Dr. Y.W. Shaghude – New Director, IMS) and Sweden (Prof. M. Björk), Swedsih Deputy
Coordinator (Dr. A. N. Haldén), Principal Investigator (Dr. M.S.P. Mtolera, PI and Secretariat) and
the Chairperson (Dr. R. Tamatamah). The BMSP-SC shall meet face to face at least once and hold
skype meetings at least twice a year to discuss the progress of the program. Through a consultative
process involving all partners at UDSM, SLU and SU, annual work plans and projected budgets
for planned activities will be developed to guide the Program implementation. The Principal
Investigator at the cost centre in Tanzania shall be responsible for timely submission of progress
reports to Sida via the UDSM-Sida Program Steering Committee.
Management/coordination and interdisciplinary collaboration in Tanzania and between Tanzania
and Sweden: On the Tanzanian side, there will be a local committee (LC) that is composed of
representatives from participating institutions from the UDSM. The LC will meet more regularly
to discuss relevant issues for the BMSP e.g. assessing student performance and overall program
20
implementation progress based on performance indicators to be shown in annual work plans,
developed in relation to the set objectives and expected outputs. As deemed necessary, LC meetings
may be attended by theme and sub theme coordinators. Moreover, activities under sections 2.4.1.1-
4 are also intended to strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration between Tanzanian institutions and
between institutions from Tanzania and Sweden.
Management/coordination and interdisciplinary collaboration in Sweden: On the Swedish side
there are two universities and several departments under each university that will be part of the
program. The two Swedish universities will work closely to implement the objectives of the
program. The cost center will be based at SU, but all Swedish funds will then be distributed to
participating departments as per common agreement (See enclosure 6 on budget). To ensure
efficient cooperation from the Swedish counterparts, Prof. Mats Björk at SU will be the overall
coordinator, and Dr. Anna Norman Haldén at SLU will be deputy coordinator. Having one
coordinator at SU and one at SLU will facilitate communication between the Swedish universities
and between the different departments within each university. In addition, a working group
consisting of the two coordinators and one representative from each participating Swedish
department will be formed at the very start of the program period with the task to develop joint
activities within the program and to jointly develop the PhD projects. The working group in
Sweden will provide an important mechanism to coordinate future support to UDSM and help to
identify synergisms between different activities in the future programme. Involved Swedish
researchers have already initiated a dialogue on how to create a strong environment to support the
needs identified by UDSM. It is seen as a strength that the Swedish researchers represent two of
Sweden largest universities and several different departments with complementary strengths. This
will provide students and researchers at UDSM with both in depth expertise in specific subjects as
well as multidisciplinary support by the joint expertise by the Swedish researchers.
7.1. Administrative resources available
The university has a fully functional administrative system where the core mission of the university
is spearheaded by the Vice Chancellor (VC) assisted by three Deputy Vice-Chancellors (DVCs) in
Academics, Administration and Research and Knowledge Exchange (RKE). Implementation of the
proposed training and research will be coordinated by the Directorate of research under the DVC-
RKE. The BMSP is responsible to the UDSM wide program Steering Committee through the DVC-
RKE and Directorate of Research.
7.2. Management of career opportunities for participating researchers and research
students
The proposed PG training and supervision will enhance UDSM, SU and SLU staff knowledge base
and contribute to their publication profiles thereby enabling them to climb in the academic ladder.
PG students will gain knowledge and qualifications that will strengthen their capacity to be
employed within the academic institutions particularly the UDSM. The BMSP maintains records
of alumni for easy follow-up after their graduation.
7.3. Potential internal and external risks and actions for mitigation of the risks
(a) Availability of qualified candidates for the training: Section 5.1 (paragraph 2) shows part of
the MSc pool for PhD student recruitment. The BMSP-SC through Directorate of Post Graduate
Studies is responsible for transparent recruitment and wide advertisement of opportunities.
(b) Employment of the graduates from the programme: Section 2.4.1 shows the employability of
the BMSP output. With the Government putting emphasis on newly extablished universities
21
recruitment, IMS will submit to the UDSM management to urge a case for recruitment.
Discussions with the DVC-Academic to facilitate employment of qualified BMSP outputs into
IMS and DASF.
(c) Timely acquisition of equipment for the project: BMSP Coordinators to initiate procurement
process early enough.
(d) Timely completion of PhD and Masters Programmes: Measures under sections 2.4 and 5.1 are
meant to, among others, address the situation. The BMSP Coordinators to make close follow-
up on student progress; supervisors to ensure students acquires proper background to facilitate
research.
(e) Timely disbursement of funds: The BMSP Coordinators to ensure timely submission of
progress reports. Sida and UDSM to be requested to provide funding for projects swiftly
implementing their activities instead of waiting for the slow moving ones.
(f) The slow processes of approval and accreditation of MSc and PhD programs by the Tanzania
Commision for Universities (TCU): Early development of programs for inseption in 2016
(g) Poor supervision incentive systems: Coordinators to discuss the issue at the UDSM level
steering Committee.
(h) Poor external examiner insentive system: Coordinators to discuss the issue at the UDSM level
steering Committee.
(i) Low institutional support/resources to maintain the lab equipment: UDSM to increase efforts
to solicit Government funding
(j) Failure to attract and retain highly qualified and trained staff: UDSM to revise staff retention
schemes.
(k) Drop out by students: Recruitment of highly motivated students to join the program; Provision
of supervision courses; Promote peer supervision.
(l) Low Interest by innovators and other stakeholders in research uptake: Full involvement of all
stakeholders in the research process to ensure useful research output.
(m) Government and private sector disinterested in research outputs and uptake: Coordinators to
facilitate training in outreach.
(n) Lack of expertise in technology transfer skills: Coordinators to ask the DKE to facilitate
training on the matter.
(o) Government and private sector failure to adopt the innovation cluster system: Full involvement
of stakeholders in research process
(p) Innovation clusters not fully developed during the five year research period: Timely
implementation of activities; Involvement of people highly motivated.
8. The operational issues of the research training programme/research supporting
component
8.1. Which university gives the degree? Are joint or double degrees planned?
Although the UDSM policies and guidelines do not provide for joint or double degrees, it has in
the past provided such degrees. Universities to register students will offer the degrees and joint
degrees will be offered after the SLU, SU and UDSM managements have put in place modalities
to facilitate such programs.
8.2. Governance
8.2.1. Procedure for selecting and recruitment of Masters and PhD students: Apart from
measures shown under section 2.4.1, the BMSP-SC through Directorate of Post Graduate

Studies at the UDSM is responsible for transparent recruitment and wide advertisement of
opportunities with all partners fully participating (see section 7 on program management).
8.3. Available procedures for quality assurance of the research training programme
UDSM Concept note (section 6.0) details quality assurance procedures and responsible UDSM
unit. Section 5 details additional measures developed nationally.
8.4. Time perspective of the partnership and sustainability plans for the programme
The BMSP proposes a five-year partnership involving the respective units under the UDSM, SLU
and SU. Program sustenance would be ensured by the multidisciplinary team’s enhancement by
analytical capacities produced by the program, supportive environments particularly the
postgraduate research laboratories, MC, KAFC and DSTs centres, program visibility created with
a potential to attract additional research and training partners. The newly proposed Tanzania
constitution if approved emphasizes research based decisions and hence national funding for
Universities. Moreover, both the revised and newly developed regional MSc and PhD programs
(see section 2.4.1) will provide analytical capacities for institutions nationally and regionally.
Scholarship provided by such institutions to their students will ensure sustainability of the
programs and the associated research activities.
8.5. Short and long term financial strategy – resources from the target university and other
funders
During the past five years, the BMSP has been operating with an average of USD 1.8 million with
Sida providing nearly 20%, the Government 50% and other partners 30%. The development of
MC, KAFC and DSTs is expected to generate about 100,000 USD annually. Further development
of partnerships is likely to improve internally generated funding for the BMSP.
8.6. Monitoring and evaluation
8.6.1. Monitoring and evaluation: The overall university coordination office is responsible for
the overall monitoring. Program monitoring and evaluation will be done by both the Program- and
UDSM-level steering committees meetings scheduled to meet at least twice annually during mid-
annual and annual reviews.
8.6.2. BMSP Procedures for timely and regular collection of results and following progress
within the programmes
Section 7 outlines the BMSP governance. The activity centre coordinator and principal investigator
are responsible for monitoring program progress, timely collection and submission of progress of
its various activities to the UDSM Steering committee through the BMSP-SC within the program
duration.
9. Organisation of the Personnel welfare related to exchange of staff between the Target
University and Swedish university
The activity centre has an academician assisted by a secretary responsible for assisting visiting
scholars and student with obtaining visa, arranging/advising housing facilities, welcoming and
hosting the visitors. The accountant is responsible for timely disbursement of allowances to
students and participating staff as agreed upon. The UDSM has limited research staff
accommodation that may be provided if requested well in advance.
10. Ethical consideration
The following ethical issues have been assessed:
23
Biomedical research. None of the proposed research activities to be funded by Sida would
involve human subjects or laboratory animals.
Property rights over genetic resources and intellectual property-related provisions: Some of
the proposed research activities to be funded by Sida would involve genetic resources and
related intellectual property rights.
Both issues are subject to Tanzania and Swedish regulations, partner university policies/guidelines
and compliance to international agreements. The UDSM has a Research Ethics Policy to ensure
that research proposals and projects duly comply with these norms.

NB:
A: Since the four ongoing PhD are registered at SU (DEEPS), four of the five new students
will be equally divided between SLU and Department of Physical Geography (SU) and the
remeinder will be registered at (Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences,
SU). Topic of the five students to be registered in Sweden are as follows:
1. Managing Ecosystem Services for Sustainable Wetland Management with Aquaculture
Development in Tanzania, (Department of Physical Geography, SU)
Identifying key ecosystem services and values linked to the wetlands and
coastal areas in which the aquaculture operation is based
Development of different aquaculture development scenarios
Quantifying the impact on key ecosystem services under different aquaculture
development scenarios
Identify trade-offs between ecosystem services and possible impacts on
different stakeholders well-being and climate change resilience under different
aquaculture development scenarios
Suggested Swedish supervisors: Håkan Berg, (Department of Physical
Geography, SU) Martin Gullström (EMB,SU)
2. Integrated aquaculture systems, (Department of Physical Geography, SU)
Develop sustainable and environmentally acceptable fish culture systems that
are integrated with crop and/or animal production, and that are designed to
optimize the use of available resources.
Analyse suitable high value crops, water use efficiency and impacts on the
environment
Potential Swedish supervisors: Håkan Berg (Department of Physical
Geography, SU) and Torbjörn Lundh(SLU), Jan Erik Lindberg(SLU) and
Markus Langeland, (SLU), Beatrix Alsanius (SLU)
3. Improved broodstock and sustainable fingerling production for tilapia (SLU)
Improved fingerling production for direct supply to the farms: The volume,
uniformity and health status of the fingerlings will be improved as a
combination of improved genetics of the broodstock as well as improved larvae
production. Establish tilapia breeding programmes aimed at late maturity (good
market size) - promote research based selective breeding programme for
tilapia. Production of hybrid tilapia including all male without using hormone.
Suggested Swedish supervisors: Dirk Jan de Koning (SLU) and Jana Pickova
(SLU).
4. High quality low cost fish feed.(SLU)
Perform a field survey aiming at investigating and comparing inputs and
outputs e.g. production systems, management, feeding, socio-economic
79
characteristics etc., of small-scale fish farming systems and to evaluate
alternative feed formulations and potential feed ingredients.
Based on the results from the survey a selection of locally available feed
ingredients (could be either of vegetable, seaweed, animal, insect or microbial
origin) and conserving treatment of locally feed ingredients will be followed by
evaluation of the nutritional compositions.
Performing digestibility and growth trials to assess the nutritional and feed
values.
Evaluating intensive, semi-intensive and extensive pond cultured fish, by
feeding fish with formulated feeds in combination with nutrients from the
natural food web
Potential Swedish supervisors: Torbjörn Lundh (SLU), Jan Erik Lindberg
(SLU) and Markus Langeland (SLU).
5. Ecosystem-based climate change adaptation and response to climate induced episodes
(Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences, SU)
Ecosystems such as mangrove and seagrasses are also representing a large part
of global carbon burial. Despite significant increase on our understanding of
how marine habitats reacts to climate change related pressures, we are
presently lacking information on how these changes are affecting on a larger
scale and link with social and economic processes within the coastal zone. We
acterize the key environmental drivers of change and the
processes behind the services provided by marine shallow ecosystems for
and update maps on distribution patterns, identify gaps and devise unified,
meaningful information.
Potential Swedish supervisors: Mats Björk (EMB, SU), Martin Gullström
(EMB,SU), Hans Linderholm (GU)
B: Due to budgetary limitations, the Swedish counterparts will participate in teaching and
curriculum development when visiting students in their field studies.

Justification for the budget:
The justification for the SEK 22.5 mill quoted for 2015 – 2020 is based on:
(i) The current level of the Program activities and the need to sustainably produce
research outputs and analytical capacities particularly in identified areas of research.
After successfully stabilising seaweed farming in Tanzania, the Program would like to
do the same in finfish and shellfish farming. In that way coastal communities would
reduce pressure on fisheries, but also make inland and marine finfish and shellfish
farming dependable alternative livelihood activities, play their rightful role in
economic development and fighting abject poverty.
(ii) To facilitate achieving the desired impacts in (i), the Program has proposed
strengthening postgraduate laboratories. The Program is taking advantage of the IMS
and DASF relocating into more spacious premises in 2015 and thus increase
postgraduate enrolment and outputs. Also proposed is strengthening fisherfolk centres
at Pangani and Kunduchi for incubation of technologies. Also proposed is a decision
support tools to facilitated integrated coastal planning.
(iii) There is a strong scientific consensus that coastal marine ecosystems, along with the
goods (e.g. fisheries and building materials) and services (e.g. biological bank for
novel bioproducts including novel pharmaceutical products, nutrient transformation
processes including atmospheric CO2 reduction, tourism, coastal protection and
stabilization) they provide, are threatened by anthropogenic global climate change.
Thus together with sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, the MSP is thus challenged
to continue providing research results that are relevant to policy decisions, helpful in
evaluating the effectiveness of conservation and management policies and strategies,
develop capacity in sustained, routine and reliable observations of oceanic coastal,
terrestrial and atmospheric systems on local, regional and global scales.
(iv) For purposes of ensuring that qualities of PhD and MSc produced at the UDSM are of
high quality, the Swedish counterparts would play a significant role in reviewing the
existing programs and developing new ones. Their participation in both collaborative
research and training in our programs would provide a special environment for
exchange of expertise and experience and enriching our cultural heritage. The planned
integration of the emerging entrepreneur communities into the program would also
bring in a special environment in addressing societal challenges.
(v) The PhD and MSc training budget focuses at producing 18 PhD and 8 MSc that are
planned to be integrated into the UDSM. The intended impact here is to increase
outputs to address challenge (g) in section 2.1. A significant amount of SEK has been
proposed to strengthen PG research laboratories. This is in view of the cost of major
and minor equipment.
(vi) The Swedish counterparts have increased from one university to two, with the SLU
being new partners. Despite widening the Swedish Scientist involvement for purposes
of addressing the new challenges in research and training, the new coordination
arrangement ensures minimal costs and maximal output. The Department of Ecology,
Environment and Plant Sciences, SU (as cost centre in Sweden) will continue with
responsibilities for coordinating all activities of the Swedish counterparts with regard
to supervisors, PhD and MSc training.
(vii) Status of the UDSM human research capacity and justification for selected institutions
for collaboration: The UDSM has basic human capacity developed in the past phases
89
of the MSP except in fields of aquaculture economics, fish diseases, hatchery
management, live food production, fish nutrition and genetic studies, and social
economic studies. Collaboration with SLU and Department of Physical Geography and
Quartnenary Geology (SU) is expected to enable IMS and its local counterparts at the
UDSM to acquire research capacities in the shown field of aquaculture research. Our
old counterparts named the Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences
would continue to be instrumental in facilitating studies on responses of
habitats/ecosystems e.g. seagrasses, coral reefs and mangroves to climate variability
and a link with social economic processes in the coastal zone. As already shown in the
proposal, our counterparts will participate in teaching the regional PhD and MSc
programs, supervision of MSc and PhD and supervisors training.
(viii) Sustainability and exit strategy: The vision of the Program is to consolidate the
research and analytical capacities in producing fisheries and aquaculture knowledge
and technological innovations for improved food security, adaptation to climate
change, sustainability in resource management and inclusive development. To ensure
sustainability, implementation of objectives (ii) and (iii) would consolidate research
teams, training capacity and research environment. These would ensure that processes
of research and its management as well as human capacity development are sustained
even after partner funding has ceased. Implementation of research activities is planned
such that main stakeholders (Government ministries, communities and industry) are
closely involved in the Program research processes through the proposed centers
activities (see section 2.2.4). The consequential Government interest in research and
the generation processes of creative ideas that would result from the Program
coexistence with industry would improve research funding.
(ix) Successes in capacity development in various fields would be assessed regularly as
shown in the work plan. Research areas that would reach fruitful conclusion in terms
of impacts and establishment of collaboration with industry would be phased out
accordingly to ensure that capacities in various areas are solidified as envisaged in the
time plan.
(x) Feasibility and cost efficiency: The proposed activities for 2015-2020 takes advantage
of the Bilateral Marine Science Program achievements in human and infrastructural
research and training capacity, visibility and collaboration partners (nationally,
regionally and internationally) and sustainability. With regard to research sub-themes,
all the inland and marine aquaculture activities are ongoing and what is proposed here
is further development of the activities for a more significant impact in alleviating
poverty, improving national growth and ensuring sustainable resource utilization.
There has been a wide consultation between stakeholders, especially in Tanzania
institutions, to ensure total ownership of the new initiative and the desired outcomes
and impact (section 4.0).

SECTION 1
Executive Summary
The Sweden-Tanzania Bilateral Marine Science Program (MSP) was conceived nearly two
decades ago when marine scientists in Tanzania and the rest of the Western Indian Ocean
Region were mainly fisheries biologists. It was therefore imperative to transform the situation
such that multi-disciplinary problem-solving research prevails. When the situation was recently
reviewed, it is in the opinion of the Consultative Workshop on Research Capacity in Tanzania
(Svensson, 2007a) that one of the impacts of Tanzania-Sweden Research cooperation is that
“Sida/SAREC-supported marine research has become a national programme”. When the Sida
Research Committee visited the Institute in September 2007, the Director, Department for
Research Cooperation, SAREC, said “….. We got a very good impression on all activities, in
particular, the link between research activities and development efforts and the links between
the national institute and the regional research network. ……”.
Taking full advantage of the achievements in human and infrastructural capacity building, in
the next five years the program intends to, among others, contribute significantly to the “blue
revolution in Tanzania where aquaculture (i) enhances the wild fisheries resources; (ii) meets
most significant of the rural demand for food on the table and money in pocket without ruining
the environment”; and (iii) contributes significantly to the national GDP. The Program is also
intending to significantly contribute to the development of national adaptation strategies to the
harmful effects of climate and other global change drivers on ecosystem goods and services.
The vision of the MSP is therefore to create a better collaborative multidisciplinary research
environment, where S&T and R&D institutions coexist and closely cooperate with the
productive sector and industries. The main goal of the 2009-2013 phase of the marine science
programme is therefore to conduct quality strategic research and training for realization of
equitable and sustainable socio-economic development of Tanzania and the Eastern African
Region. To that end, a number of activities have been proposed. They include (i) consolidating
the Tanzania R&D contributing more effectively to economic development and influence
emerging national policies; (ii) support research infrastructural developments for centres
committed to spearheading excellence in cutting edge R&D and S&T in strategic areas relevant
for addressing MKUKUTA issues; (iii) further enhancement of partnerships and linkages with
local community and industrial initiatives; (iv) facilitate regional training programs and
exchange of resource persons and students; and (v) dissemination of research outcomes to end
users. Proposed research activities in this phase can be summarized under the following themes:
(a) Aquaculture for rural transformation and industrial development; and (b) Understanding
ecosystem responses to global climate change for improving resilience. A four year budget of
SEK 17,200,000 for facilitating research and training activities during April 2009 to June 2013
is suggested.
99
The proposed research and capacity building activities during 2009-2013 are in line with the
UDSM Research Programmes for 2009-2018, whose outputs are aimed to facilitate
MKUKUTA initiatives. The NSGRP builds on the Tanzania Mini -Tiger Plan 2020 (TMTP
2020) that emphasize the growth momentum to fast -track the targets of Vision 2025. The
proposal is also in line with the National 2002 - 2012 Fisheries Development Master Plan
(MNR&T/ JICA, 2002), National Environmental Policy (NEP), The National Integrated
Coastal Environment Management Strategy, the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) Five-
Year Rolling Strategic Plan (2008-2013), the UDSM Five Year Rolling Strategic Plan of the
Directorate of Research and Publications (2006/07-2010/11), the Five-Year Rolling Strategic
Plans for 2008-2013 as well as the Research Agenda of the UDSM participating units named
IMS, DASF and BOTANY. Implementation of the new phase of the programme is to involve
staff from the IMS, BOTANY and DASF (University of Dar es Salaam) and those of the
Department of Botany and Department of Zoology (Stockholm University (SU)). In addition,
MSc and PhD students registered at the UDSM, SU and UU will be involved in the
implementation of the programme.

Objectives and results
Objectives(s) of the programme
(i) Manpower development (at MSc and PhD): (a) relevant for strengthening university
network in Tanzania that is charged with the mission to create a critical mass of
creative, gender sensitive and globally competitive labour that in the shortest span
of time could facilitate the achievements of MKUKUTA missions, (b) to enable
participating institutions attain critical mass of human resources in cutting edge
R&D and S&T in strategic marine research areas;

scientists, MSc and PhD students, postdoctoral fellows) and direct intervention to
Tanzania’s national growth, income and food poverty eradication, and sustainable
resource management;
(iii) Provide specialized field, laboratory and ICT facilities to (a) support cutting edge
R&D and S&T in strategic areas, (b) attract the best post-graduate students and
postdoctoral fellows nationally, regionally and internationally to undertake research,
100
and (c) provide opportunities for researchers at regional and international levels to
share and exchange experiences, (d) to enable student classes to interact with distant
course instructors through internet based “scientific chat-rooms”.
(iv) Direct support to local communities, especially women clusters, in the development
and acquisition of technologies relevant for improving value and market of their
marine goods;
(v) Enhance national and regional collaboration in research and training;
(vi) Facilitate further development of partnership culture and linkages between
multidisciplinary teams of research and the local community and industry;
(vii) Disseminate research findings to end uses (industry, scientific community, public
and other customers internationally).
Program-wide results (by program objective)
Coastal communities in Tanzania and elsewhere are highly dependent on coastal and marine
goods and services for protein and as a primary source of income. As populations increase in
these areas there is an increasing demand on coastal resources with consequential pollution of
sensitive environments, dwindling resources on traditional fisheries areas (e.g. reefs and
lagoons), increasing tourism etc. Vital is therefore a need for more integrated approaches to
sustain the multiple uses of coastal and marine resources. Hurdles to achieve sustainability
include poverty and acquisition of research and training capacity and approaches such that
multi-disciplinary real-life problem-solving research prevails and evidence-based advice is
provided to governments to inform policy making. The Marine Science Program (MSP) has
been reasonably successful in addressing those challenges with its research and capacity
building initiatives, among others:
Initiating and sustaining alternative economic activities that have improved food
security, facilitated poverty alleviation and reduced pressure on capture fisheries. After
a successful stabilisation of seaweed farming started in the late 1990, during the last ten
years efforts have been on stimulating finfish and shellfish farming. It is encouraging
that small entrepreneurs have merged; value addition of their marine resources are
successfully compering in the tourism market although additional efforts need to be
made to promote more innovations.
Promoting marine protected area (MPA) development through establishing new ones
and assessing the effectiveness of the old ones and community based no take zones.
With time communities once against the MPAs are now positive following a
successfully fisheries around the conserved areas.
Improving institutional sustainability as about 90% PhD and 65% MSc produced being
absorbed by Tanzania Universities network notably the UDSM thus improving research,
teaching and public service outputs. There has been a systematic development of
aquaculture research infrastructure (at the UDSM research centres at Pangani and
Kunduchi) and technology and/or knowledge base for addressing aquaculture and
climate change problems. Nevertheless, efforts need to be made to address the emerging
entrepreneur requirements for quality seeds, feeds, pond/cage management technologies
for green production. Multidisciplinary research has also promoted upcoming scholars
with world-class academic culture and improved national and international
collaborations which has reasonably improved funding levels over the years.
What happened: Achieved Outcomes and Outputs
101
(a)Human resource development and impacts: A total of 11 PhD and 20 MSc have
graduated; 18PhDs and 36MSc were enrolled during the ongoing phase. Nearly 90% of
the PhDs and 65% of the MSc have been employed by Universities mainly the UDSM
(PhDs). MSc graduates have largely been absorbed by upcoming universities e.g.
Dodoma University, Nelson Mandela Institute of Technology, Zanzibar State University,
Sokoine University of Agriculture. The remainder have been absorbed mainly by the
ministries responsible for fisheries management. One PhD is a deputy principle secretary
in the Ministry responsible for Fisheries. This is in line with the Program’s commitment
to strengthen the University network and marine resource management in Tanzania. The
encouraging development is that the BMSP is in close collaboration with its alumnae
from various Universities in Tanzania e.g. Sokoine University, Zanzibar State University,
Dodoma University, Nelson Mandela Institute of Technology etc. A PhD program in
aquaculture jointly taught by IMS and SUA has been developed and would be launched
in 2014/15.
(b) Development of MSc and PhD Programs: With a support from the Program funding, the
IMS developed and successfully launched a regional MSc catering for Mozambique,
Kenya, and Mauritius. Recently, the Department of Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries has
managed to develop a taught PhD programme with specialisation in Biological
Oceanography, Limnology, Fisheries and Aquaculture. The program will be launched in
2015. Apart from the MSc improving a pool for the PhD students in the program, as
earlier noted most have been absorbed by emerging Universities.
(c) Infrastructure development
Pangani: The IMS acquired the Pangani Fishermen centre in 2009 from the Pangani
District authorities with the view to transform it into a Mariculture centre. Modest success
has been achieved in the transformation. An integrated system of tilapia pond farming is
being developed. This is to facilitate studies on growth performance of groupers (1PhD),
efficacy of different nutrient biofilters for inclusion in the developed integrated finfish
pond system for tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) (1MSc), tilapia reproductive activities in
marine conditions (1MSc), and growth performance of the Tilapia, Oreochromis urolepis
hornorum under various plant and cyanobacteria proteins (2MSc). So far 3 MSc have
graduated and a PhD is to graduate in 2015.
Kunduchi: Concrete aquaculture ponds have been rehabilitated facilitating senior
scientists and student research in fisheries.
The infrastructure development at Pangani and Kunduchi are aimed at building
sustainable research capacity for: (a) diversifying finfish cultivated in inland waters e.g.
tilapia in Morogoro region and coastal districts e.g. Mtwara where milkfish (Chanos
chanos) is also widely cultivated, Pemba and Mtwara where marine tilapia farming has
started; (b) develop a model tilapia breeding program; and (c) facilitating the Government
fisheries development plan aimed at developing cage culture system for marine tilapia
and Carangidae (kole kole) family of finfish.
(d) Research for national growth, income and food poverty eradication, and sustainable
resource management.
Marine tilapia: With the view to developing methods for intensive culture of euryhaline
tilapias in marine environments for application to coastal areas with limited freshwater
resources, the effects of salinity on survival, growth and reproductive performance of
Pangani Tilapia (Oreochromis pangani/O. jipe), Tilapia zillii, Zanzibar tilapia (O.
urolepis hornorum) and Rufiji tilapia (O. urolepis urolepis) have been determined under
controlled laboratory conditions. Salinity tolerance has been studied in relation to early
salinity exposure and to spawning success. The results have provided a basis for the
development of methods for seawater adaptation that minimizes reliance on freshwater
102
during the hatchery phase of production and that improved survival and growth in
seawater. Using the techniques developed so far communities in Mtwara and Pemba have
started marine tilapia farming with output of over 9,000 tonnes worth about 40,000 USD
in 2013/14. In collaboration with Government and the private sector, in the next phase
the Marine Science Program intends to develop a national program for improving tilapia
broodstocks through breeding programs on desired trait selection, sex control, reliable
seed production, proper feed formulation (for broodstock, fry, fingerling and grow out),
aquaculture management practises and effective dissemination of these to the emerging
private sector.
Milk fish: With support of the Marine Science Program in collaboration with partners
e.g. WIOMSA and mariculture associations e.g. UWASA in Mtwara, milkfish (Chanos
chanos) acreage increased from 100 in 2008 to 143 in 2010 for finfish farming;
Productivity improved from 1.0 t/ha (2004) to 3.0 t/ha (2009) and farmers are now assured
of monthly earnings of over USD 700 per hector. Similar to 2010/11, 2011/12 and
2012/13, over 100 fisherfolk directly supported in Mtwara produced products worth over
100,000 USD (175 mill Tshs) during 2013/14.
Assessment of the effectiveness of policies and their respective implementation
strategies: With IMS technical advice, community based no take zones were in 2006
established in villages bordering Menai Bay Conservation Area in Zanzibar.
Communities once against MPAs are now positive as shellfish of desired sizes are
predictably harvested; the Zanzibar Oyster pearl farming and marine jewellery industry
emerging; and the status of collected intertidal molluscan resources (bivalve and
gastropods) were assessed in 2013 and found to be good.
(q) National and regional collaboration in research and training: The program established
a new collaboration with Sokoine University of Agriculture, Kwame Nkrumah University
of Science and Technology and Technical University of Denmark under DANIDA funding.
The collaboration is intended to strengthen outreach capacity for sustained outputs in
agriculture and aquatic products in Tanzania and Ghana. During the period under review,
we have also managed to maintain an active collaboration with our Swedish counterparts
in which PI at IMS participated in joint research in Gothenburg and Swedish coordinator
and PI participated in joint research activities in Tanzania. The program has continued with
active collaboration with the ZMT Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Ecology, Bremen
(Germany). Benefits include exchange of expertise and their willingness to participate at
own cost in teaching of the Regional MSc program and supervision of MSc and PhD
students in fields whose expertise is still missing in Tanzania.
(r) What did not happen: Outputs and Outcomes which were not achieved.
The BMSP plans during 2009-2014 include recruiting for the aging staff at IMS. Unfortunately,
the Government did not give IMS a permission to employ despite losing 6 academic staff who
had taken leadership positions in newly established universities.
There has been a slow completion for PhDs. As course based regional MSc had promising
outputs. A course based PhD is being developed for launching in 2015.
The planned aquaculture studies were intended to also cover breeding. With budget cuts, that
could not be accomplished mainly because Swedish counterparts had to be reduced.
103
(h) Total number of people trained: The Program has enrolled a total of 18 PhD with 11
graduating; 36 MSc with 20 graduating
(i) New research findings, which are particularly important: Identification of estuarine
tilapia with capability to grow and reproduce in full saline marine waters. This finding has
opened up marine tilapia farming in Tanzania particularly in Mtwara region and Pemba Island.
In Pemba where sea water is intruding freshwater resources, this may be considered an
adaptation to the changing climate and its impacts. At a time when inland freshwater resources
are dwindling, this finding provides coastal communities with opportunities to feed Tanzania.
Another interesting finding is on Carangidae (widely known as kole kole in Tanzania) family
of finfish which are generally believed to be marine. Our studies have shown that they survive
in freshwater. This has opened up a possibility for their farming in estuarine and marine waters.
In climate change studies, one may note that the 1997/1998 El-Niño episode destroyed over
0.2% of the largest mangrove stand in Tanzania at Rufiji delta and to date is yet to regenerate.
The impact of salinity variation induced by flooding and prolonged water lodging on growth
and photosynthesis were investigated on seedlings of Avicennia marina, Heritiera littoralis and
Bruguiera gymnorrhiza. The results show varying ability of Avicennia marina and Bruguiera
gymnorrhiza to acclimatization and inability of H. littoralis to withstand prolonged
waterlogging accompanied with salinities ≥25‰. These results suggest that climate change
induced inundation and salinity fluctuation as a result of storms, flooding and sea level rise
could jeopardize the ability of some mangrove species to regenerate and survive, thereby
destructing mangrove forest structures and ultimately their ecological functions. With B.
gymnorrhiza maintaining the highest tolerance to flooding followed by A marina, the two
species may be useful candidates in replanting mangrove forests affected by flooding.
(j) Use of research findings (see in b)
(k) Successes and challenges of communication and use of research results, that have
contributed to changed policy or practices, if applicable: The Program has been fairly successful
in facilitating dialogue with policy makers. As a result area covered by MPA in Tanzania has
increased from about 100 km2 in 1991 to over 3000 km2 in 2002 and about 6000 km2 in 2011
with the IMS playing a key role in their establishment. Currently Marine Protected Areas
occupies about 10% of the territorial waters and the Government intends to double the area by
2025.
The main challenge is that the UDSM is yet to develop favourable criteria for recognising
outreach services.
(l) Changes in management and routines of the target university/institution (and Swedish
university/institution) that has come about in part due to this support from Sida: The ICT
support has tremendously revolutionised the UDSM management, cutting administrative costs
e.g. in video conferencing, improving student activities particularly literature search and
student-teacher interaction etc. ICT has also improved connectivity nationally, regionally and
internationally. This has had a significant impact in improving visibility of the participating
UDSM institutions. Ten years ago, the IMS for example had an annual budget of about 950,000
USD and for the last five years, its budget is just above 1,500,000 USD, with Sida contributing
20% and other development partners contributing 30%. IMS and DASF will soon relocate into
spacious premises thus promoting training and research outputs. The program impact on women
and youth employment is also significant particularly in aquaculture and mariculture activities
particularly seaweed, finfish and pearl oyster farming. The ICT has improved communications
with fisherfolk.
(m) Other interesting results, if any: The Zanzibar seaweed cluster initiative was established
in 2006 under the then Innovation Systems and Clusters Programme (ISCP, 2003) and then Pan
African Competitiveness Forum (PACF, 2008) both funded by Sida-UDSM Cooperation
Program and Sida-COSTEC Cooperation Program. After five years of the initiative, the
104
internal market for seaweed has emerged producing, among others, seaweed soaps, body
creams, massage oils, juice, cakes, cookies, jam and green vegetables. The usage of the different
products has spread from Zanzibar to Bagamoyo, Tanga, Mtwara, Pemba etc. Small scale
seaweed semi-processing has tremendously improved the value of the produced seaweed from
USD 0.25/kgDW to USD 6.2 kgDW (nearly x2500).
(n) Analysis of the processes: Influencing factors & issues - Why it happened:
Opportunities and lessons learned
An important lesson from providing support to women entrepreneurs is that providing access
to financial resources (i.e. be it loan or grant) works best if coupled with appropriate training,
sufficient follow up technical visits, participation in collective forms of enterprise and linked
to trade fair markets. Such settings provide them with better access to productive resources
and markets, valuable skills and knowledge, experience in governing and managing their own
enterprises.
- Why it did not happen: Challenges and potential improvements: Aquaculture activities could
not succeed as one may have wished. There is a need to learn better outreach techniques.
