#Burundi Hosts Regional Training on Lake
#Tanganyika Basin
#Conservation
#Burundi is hosting a five-day training aimed at stakeholders involved in implementing a regional project focused on
#biodiversity conservation and the sustainable management of natural resources in the Lake
#Tanganyika basin. The initiative, led by the project coordination unit of
@UNOPS , seeks to strengthen the capacity of participants engaged in the program’s execution.
The training is part of a transboundary project running for three and a half years (2024–2028), funded by
@theGEF. The program is led by the
@UNEP and implemented by
@UNOPS in partnership with the
@_LTA_ALT.
The initiative brings together four countries sharing the Lake Tanganyika basin—
#Burundi,
#Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of the Congo
#DRC, and
#Zambia—highlighting its regional scope in addressing shared environmental challenges.
The program is structured around four key pillars: reducing transboundary risks affecting aquatic biodiversity, safeguarding priority conservation areas, promoting responsible and sustainable use of natural resources, and strengthening coordination, data management, monitoring, and evaluation mechanisms.
Through this training, organizers aim to enhance project implementation and foster stronger regional cooperation to protect one of Africa’s most vital ecosystems.
