ALAT has 133 members comprising of all urban and district councils in Tanzania Mainland.

The objectives of ALAT are to:

1. Foster smooth local government in Tanzania;
2. Maintain and further the interests, rights and values of local authorities in the country; and

A key objective of the project was to strengthen and revitalize user groups within natural resource management with particular focus to the following four community-based natural resource institutions:

1. SULEDO forest in Kiteto District;
2. Burunge Wildlife Management Area in Babati District;
3. Latema Water User Association in Simanjiro District; and
