Abstract
WWF’s Coastal East Africa Initiative (CEAI) is an umbrella programme that provides regional
strategic support to the work of WWF country offices in Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique.
The CEAI was launched in 2010 and has a technical team based in Dar es Salaam. Priority
areas of work include:
v Natural resources governance in nine priorities landscapes & seascapes (see Fig.1.1
below)
v Governance of Western Indian Ocean tuna fisheries
v Fisheries certification, especially shrimp fisheries in Mozambique
v Africa-China natural resources trade, especially timber
v Climate change adaptation
Within the CEAI, the climate change adaptation programme was initiated early in 2011 and
aims to ensure that WWF’s conservation programme in coastal Eastern Africa recognizes
and addresses the impacts of global climate change on priority ecosystems, and on
communities that depend on them. In particular, during the period 2012 – 2015 the CEAI is
supporting five priority landscapes to undertake climate change vulnerability assessments
and to develop and implement climate change adaptation strategies, where possible
integrated into existing or new natural resources management strategies and plans.
