FORUMCC operates as the national Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) network on Climate Change. It is a non-for-profit, member-based - of over 80 diverse organizations across Tanzania committed to work on climate change issues in Tanzania and beyond. It started its operations in 2008 and incorporated in 2013 as a limited company by guarantee – having no share capital - under the Companies Act of 2002. The FORUMCC has a Secretariat which is mandated to manage the activities of the Network and is overseen by a Board of Directors, nominated by FORUMCC members. The highest decision making organ is the Annual General Assembly comprised of voting members. FORUMCC’s engagement is guided by a five (5) year – strategic plan and the currently is implementing its second strategic plan 2016-2020. The FORUMCC works to ensure effective and informed engagement of Civil Society in Climate Change issues and processes for the benefit of the environment and people in poverty – women, youth and men - who are mostly affected. It strives to achieve Policy change, Accountable climate finance and actions for resilience and sustainable low carbon economy. FORUMCC works at three levels: local, national and international levels to ensure that our good course contributes to the lasting solutions to the climate change vulnerability. We believe successes emerge from the partnership that links local, national and global genuine actions for change. That sets local communities and the voices of women, men and young people at the centre of change. We are part of a big movement for change, one that empowers people to create a future that is secure, just, and free from poverty.
