An Approach toward an Integrated Management of the Mara River Basin in Tanzania
Abstract
Lack of Integrated River Management practices is the major problems that affect effective management of natural resources. This chapter presents findings on different factors affecting the sustainability of the Mara River Basin (MRB). The study was limited to the MRB part of Tanzania and multiple approaches were used in data collection. MRB is experiencing a number of management problems including deforestation, land degradation and pollution of the river water associated with human activities. Institutional framework for natural resource management (NRM) is rather sectoral thus lacking integration and sometimes results into conflicting efforts to conserve natural resources. It is evident that some cultural attitudes have positive impact on natural resources management such as the customary land tenure system. For sustainability of the MRB resources, integration of projects, programs and stakeholders’ participation are key factors without neglecting cultural aspects. Furthermore, different policies need to be considered by linking them together to achieve sustainability.
