dc.description.abstractZanzibar is comprised of the islands of Unguja and Pemba surrounded by numerous other islets along the East African coast. Due to their geographical position and limited land area, Zanzibar is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Sea level change, extreme events and sea water intrusion into underground aquifers are important threats. Sea level rise for instance, is anticipated to lead to coastal inundation in some places, reducing the already limited land area, accelerating beach erosion, and degrading coastal resources like mangroves and coral reefs which support and sustain fisheries and the tourism industry. Low adaptive capacity that emanate from the government’s low economic capacity to respond to the impacts is not only a threat to the projected achievement of sustainable development and poverty reduction but also has the potential to reverse the modest social and economic development gains that Zanzibar has achieved so far. This scooping report presents a baseline analysis of the policy, organizational and institutional framework of Zanzibar in support of adaptation and resilience to climate change with a particular focus on planning, decision-making, budgeting and M&E procedures and processes for local level interventions where the impacts are most felt.en_US
