GBS country but have no climate change indicators developed yet. South Africa is relatively advanced in the climate change issue compared to Tanzania, therefore this assignment wanted to see what Tanzania can learn from South African experience. Bangladesh is also featured in the Annex as it has really taken major steps towards a solid and holistic CC framework. Mozambique, DRC, and Tanzania heavily rely on climate sensitive sectors for their economies hence making them more vulnerable. This similarity further influenced the selection of these countries in undertaking this assignment. Through discussion with DPG E on the draft report, it was suggested that Bangladesh be included since it started mainstreaming CC issues since 2005 compared to other countries that have just started. Experiences from Bangladesh could inform the CC process in Tanzania irrespective of contextual differences. Details of the reviews of other countries are included in the Annex 3 of this report and below is the indicators/synthesis deriving from this review. Conclusions from other countries’ experiences.

However, common areas of concern include: The need to focus on agriculture since it is the economic mainstay of these countries (employs the largest portion of the productive workforce, contributes the largest portion to the national GDPs among all sectors, is highly vulnerable to CC since it is mainly rain-fed agriculture)
