Lake Tanganyika - Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis
- Lake Tanganyika was formed about 12 million years in ago, and as a result of this time-scale is ecologically very different from modern lakes formed by glaciers within the last 12,000 years. During this long period of isolation, the early colonisers of Lake Tanganyika have undergone some spectacular evolutionary productions.

Monitoring and Management of Biological Invasions in Lake Tanganyika
- Biological invasions are becoming a serious threat to biodiversity, ecosystem function, development and peoples livelihoods in many inland waters and terrestrial areas of Africa. Foreign species are being introduced, intentionally and unintentionally to productive systems like Lake Tanganyika and causing problems with ecosystem services, water quality and quantity, yields from fisheries, forestry and agriculture as well as valuable biological diversity. Within the Lake Tanganyika Regional Monitoring Programme it was suggested that a sub-component be dedicated to establishing the risks presented by invasive species and a monitoring programme prepared that would lead to their prevention and management into the future.

Success stories from Lake Tanganyika on sedimentation control and poverty alleviation
- The Zambian component of the UNDP/GEF –supported Lake Tanganyika Integrated Management Programme (LTIMP) focuses on sedimentation control, which is within the framework of priorities of the sub-regional Strategic Action Programme (SAP). In the SAP, the control of sediment inflows from the steep mountainous terrain bordering Lake Tanganyika in both Mpulungu and Kaputa Districts is seen as one of the most important areas for support. Over-fishing has also been identified as a key issue, and this is being addressed through co-finance and technical cooperation from the African Development Bank, FAO and other partners of the Lake Tanganyika Integrated Management Programme.
