Abstract

The study assessed the implications of the Kinondoni Integrated Coastal Area Management Programme on livelihoods in Kinondoni, Dar es Salaam-Tanzania. It examined the local community’s awareness of the KICAMP, their involvement in the implementation of the KICAMP, and the contribution of the KICAMP to the local community’s livelihoods.The study used a mixed-methods research approach. The target population was the KICAMP Coordinator, Workers, Heads of Households, Community Members, Ward Executive Officers and Street Chairpersons, with a sample size of 109 respondents.The data was collected through a questionnaire survey, in-depth interviewsand documentary review.While qualitative data was analyzed through thematic analysis approach, numerical data on the other hand was analyzed using descriptivestatistical analysis approach.The study found that 94% of the community members were aware of KICAMP and participated in its implementation through activities such as planting mangrove trees, environmental conservation, fishing, vegetable gardening and beekeeping.The KICAMP had a significant positive impact on local community livelihoods by creating physical, social, human, financial and political assets.However, some financial groups formed during the implementation of the program failed after the phase-out of the program due to lack of funds and proper management from KICAMP.The study recommends the revival of government financial and technical support to revamp the KICAMP so that the community can continue to benefit from the program.
