Indigenous Knowledge Bridging of Land and Water Governance in Tanzania and Canada (IKG)
This project was developed to build relationships and share knowledge among Canadian First Nations and Maasai communities in Tanzania with a focus on the roles, mechanisms and importance of traditional knowledge in the management of natural resources. The project was led by the University of Victoria (UVic) with support from the Kesho Trust.

Partnership Development Grant
The project was a Partnership Development Grant – the second stage of the three stages of potential funding with the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Our team had already completed a successful Connections Grant (the first stage of funding within this program). This earlier work laid the groundwork for the current project.
