A waste water treatment plant has also been installed in Bujumbura to treat 40 percent of urban and industrial water. There are efforts to diversify livelihoods to help increase household income and food security with the hopes that people will be more able to cope with the impacts of climate change. The above efforts have, as for the other lakes, been constrained by limited funding. The required interventions on Lake Tanganyika are similar to those on Lake Victoria as both lakes have national and regional institutions.
These include: networking with other regional institutions; improvement of regional coordination of institutions in development and conservation of the lake and its basin; development and harmonization of enabling policies for adaptive management; devising internal funding mechanisms for sustainable management of the lake and its basin; scaling up alternative livelihood programs to improve adaptive capacity and reduce the dependence on vulnerable fisheries resources; sharing information and increasing awareness; and promoting community participation in implementation of best practices to manage the resources.
Adaptive management is an ongoing natural resources management process of planning, doing, assessing, learning and adapting, while also applying what was learned to the next iteration of the natural resources management process.
Adaptive management facilitates developing and refining a conservation strategy, making efficient management decisions and using research and monitoring to assess accomplishments and inform future iterations of the conservation strategy.
AGLI was created to promote research and collaboration and support decision-making to ensure the inter-generational sustainability of the lakes and their basins. Members of this project will host an applied, collaborative workshop which creates lake committees on each of the African Great Lakes.
Each lake committee will consist of relevant freshwater experts to harmonize and prioritize research, guide regional research efforts, and facilitate communications between partner countries to positively affect freshwater policy and management using regular in-person meetings, the African Great Lakes Inform, and other relevant means. Lake Victoria is the world's largest tropical lake and the largest lake in the African Great Lakes region. The lake supports the largest freshwater fishery in the world, producing 1 million tons of fish per year and employing , people in supporting the livelihoods of 4 million people.
The major threats to the lake are deforestation, land use change, wetland degradation and discharge from urban areas, industries and farmlands. This conference sought to increase coordination, strengthen capacity, inform policy with science, and promote basin-scale ecosystem management in the region.
Because all of the African Great Lakes cross borders, the benefits they offer and the challenges they face are best managed at a basin-wide level. AU-IBAR 's mandate is to support and coordinate the utilization of livestock, fisheries and wildlife as resources for both human wellbeing and economic development in the Member States of the African Union AU.
Despite sustained efforts and commitment over many decades by AU-IBAR and others, the potential of animal resources in the fight against poverty and the development of Africa is still underutilized. The programme is rooted in the belief that global environmental problems can best be addressed if local people are involved and there are direct community benefits and ownership. Dane Kennedy, "The Search for the Nile". Speke led this follow-up to his expedition to Lake Tanganyika; this expedition was meant to confirm his conviction that the Nile originated in Lake Victoria.
James Grant, a fellow Indian Army officer, accompanied him. Upon his return, Speke was initially lauded as the man who had finally solved the mystery of the Nile, but gaps and inconsistencies in his evidence open the door to doubters who insisted that the prize remained unclaimed.
Scammel, Stanley and the White Heroes in Africa Toggle navigation. Language English. Twisting down the two arms of the Great Rift Valley — the Eastern Rift Valley and Western or Albertine Rift Valley — one finds some of the oldest, largest and deepest lakes in the world.
The lakes are important habitats for a number of fish and amphibian species, abundant birdlife and numerous crocodiles.
In the surrounding lake region, one finds elephants , gorillas , hippos and other wildlife in the Great Rift's mountains and valleys. Millions of people across several East African countries depend on the lakes' resources and surrounding forests for their livelihoods and day-to-day lives.
