Ujamaa Community Resource Team

The Ujamaa Community Resource Team (UCRT) is a Tanzanian NGO securing land and resource rights for indigenous pastoralist and hunter-gatherer communities. Since 1998, UCRT has helped them manage resources sustainably, protect culture, and improve livelihoods. Its work includes land-use planning, legal support, and capacity building. By formalizing land tenure and promoting sustainable management, UCRT strengthens community resilience and biodiversity. It has protected vast landscapes and preserved traditional ways of life, ensuring indigenous communities have a voice in managing their lands.
