 | | Together with regional and local authorities, the HASHI Team, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism and the Ministry of Home Affairs, UNDP had planned to present the award in November last year, but due to a personal tragedy in our office it was not possible for me to make it. |
 | | I have also learned that through the project’s work, 70% of the people have been able to re-establish the “Ngitili”, a traditional system of land and forest management, which has led to improvements in food security, the environment more broadly and the natural regeneration of indigenous tree species more specifically. |
 | | In this respect, I wish to congratulate the Honorable Minister, the Honorable Regional Commissioner, District leaders, Community leader and the entire leadership in Shinyanga for supporting the HASHI Project team in their conservation endeavors. |
