Text Box: Services Text Box: Contact Text Box: MWAMBAO COASTAL COMMUNITY NETWORK is a Tanzanian network formed to promote sustainable community-based management of coastal resources, thereby building resilience to environmental change. The ability of communities to build livelihoods and reduce vulnerability is critical in enabling them to protect local ecosystems. Knowledge and its communication build people’s capacity to: • improve livelihoods, • engage positively in national policy processes and • provide self-determination and resilience. Mwambao Coastal Community Network is an initiative of Sand County Foundation Tanzania, a locally registered NGO and based in Zanzibar. Established in 2001, SCF (Tz) has a long-term commitment to community-based natural resource management and the development of knowledge networks for building adaptive capacity and resilience. We are using PARTICIPATORY VIDEO (PV) as a tool; we build the network through PV training in member villages and the resulting videos add to the body of knowledge available to the coastal community (scroll down for links to videos). PARTICIPATORY VIDEO is a simple and ethical film-making process which trains and empowers participants to debate, plan and film their own community experiences and practices. The method leaves behind: a historical record, a visual presentation on DVD and a more knowledgeable group of community members. READ MORE Text Box: Contact Us Mwambao Coastal Community Network, P.O.
