Mwambao Coastal Community Network

Linking for Sustainable Coastal Management

WHAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED SO FAR

 

MWAMBAO COASTAL COMMUNITY NETWORK has trained community members in the villages of Kigombe, Buyuni, Makangale and Chongoleani in participatory video techniques (scroll down for links to films). Resulting films have been:

•  shared with participating communities,

•  disseminated to NGOs,

•  posted on the internet and

•  broadcast on national television networks.

 

The ‘blast fishing’ film will be used as part of a magistrates training (WWF Tz) and has led to Beach Management Unit capacity building and action planning, and community representation to supporting NGOs. 

 

Following a plenary workshop in December 2011, member communities have received their own ‘flipcams’ (small videocams) and are working together to produce a joint film addressing Destructive Fishing (Uvuvi Haramu).
