Yesterday, Pwani Director, Baraka Kalangahe and TCMP-Pwani climate change team made a monitoring visit at the Mango Demonstration Farm  in Kitonga village, Bagamoyo. The visit was aimed at monitoring the progress of the farm established as a pilot climate change impacts and vulnerability adaptation alternative. After the visit, Kitonga Village Climate Change Committee, the owner of the farm, told the director that despite the fact that the trees are going on very well, they still face challenge of waterring the farm as they have to fetch water from about 4 kilometers away to water the trees. Another challenge is to clear the farm from unwanted weeds. Both challenges were discussed in details by the director and the TCMP-Pwani climate change team after their return to the office.
