Kisiki Hai Sustainable Heat Adaptation (KISHADE) project in Tanzania

Last month, we successfully completed the first round of data collection on how tree cover affects microclimates in Dodoma's farmlands. By gathering detailed temperature and climate data in areas practicing Kisiki Hai agroforestry, we’re now preparing to dive into the analysis phase.

This research projects aims to uncover how these agroforestry techniques can help buffer extreme temperatures, potentially reducing heat risks for agricultural workers facing hotter conditions due to climate change.

Project founded by Wellcome Trust and in partnership with LEAD Foundation Tanzania, London School of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, University of Dodoma, University of Dar es Salaam and Muhimbili National Hospital - Mloganzila.
