7. Progress on mainstreaming adaptation into the national development
planning and budgeting processes
Despite adaptation financing from domestic
and international sources showing an
increasing trend since 2013/14, there is still
a big funding gap that hinders efforts to
address the adverse impacts of climate
change in the country
The current funding gap for
financing adaptation NDC
is estimated to be
USS 3.3 billion annually
Enhancing the implementation of identified
adaptation needs in Tanzania will require
scaling up resource mobilization from
domestic initiatives and international
partners
