Who are We?
The Foundation for Energy, Climate and Environment (FECE) is a Tanzanian non-governmental, not for profit organization registered in 2009 under No. 00NGO/00003320 that designs and implements practical solutions across energy access, climate resilience and environmental stewardship.
Mission & Vision
Mission: Delivering innovative, sustainable solutions that combat poverty, climate change and environmental degradation.
Vision: To emerge as a leading organization in Africa for Energy, Climate, Environment and Related issues.
Core Focus Areas
Climate Adaptation & Mitigation
Implementing projects that help communities both adapt to and mitigate effects of climate change.
Policy & Advocacy
Driving policy change around climate action and sustainable energy technologies through awareness campaigns, stakeholder engagement
Clean Water and Agriculture
Deploying clean-water drilling and rainwater storage systems in schools and rural areas to support drinking water, irrigation and tree planting.
Nature Conservation and Ecosynthesis

On-going Projects
Enhancing Climate Change Adaptation for Agro-pastoral communities in Kongwa
District, Tanzania.
This project is funded by Adaptation Fund with
the following objectives:
• Enhancing climate resilient rural water supply system in vulnerable agro-pastoral
communities at Mtanana and Ugogoni wards
• Transformation of exploitive agro-pastoral practices to diversified climate smart
and sustainable livelihoods
• Improving ecological functions to sustain climate sensitive livelihoods in Kongwa
District
• Strengthening capacities of institutions, extension services and trainers
Completed Projects
Enhancing Community Based Adaptation to Climate Change on Food Security
and Environment Conservation Through use of Photovoltaic Pumps for Irrigation
in Bahi district.
Objectives
Develop and implement measures for communities to both adapt to and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
This project focuses on strengthening community-based adaptation to climate change in Bahi District, Tanzania, by improving food security and promoting environmental conservation through the deployment of photovoltaic (solar-powered) irrigation pumps. By providing farmers with clean, reliable irrigation systems, the initiative reduces dependence on unpredictable rainfall and costly diesel-powered pumps, enabling year-round agricultural production.
In addition to enhancing crop yields and household incomes, the project integrates sustainable land management practices such as agroforestry and soil conservation. Communities are trained on climate-smart agriculture, efficient water use, and the protection of surrounding ecosystems. This approach not only builds local resilience against climate change but also supports environmental restoration efforts.
Ultimately, the project empowers local farmers to secure their livelihoods sustainably while contributing to climate mitigation through reduced carbon emissions and improved land stewardship.
Promotion of access to and adoption of cleaner cook stoves for rural and peri- urban poor in Bukoba district.
Objectives
To promote access to and adoption of cleaner cookstoves among rural and peri-urban households in Bukoba District, addressing the health, environmental, and economic challenges caused by traditional cooking methods.
Short Description
Targeting poor and vulnerable populations, the project focuses on making clean cookstoves affordable and accessible through community outreach, awareness campaigns, and partnerships with local artisans for stove production. Households are educated on the health risks of smoke inhalation and the long-term benefits of adopting cleaner cooking technologies.
The overall goal is to improve public health, protect forest resources, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions while supporting local economic opportunities through stove manufacturing and distribution.
