Affiliations and Achievements: |
1. I am a life member of the national NGO- Tanzania Women Leaders and Environment (TAWLAE)which deals with empowering women in Agriculture, Environment and Poverty;
2. I coordinated a UNDP/LIFE between 1994-2001 the project contributed to capacity building of community groups to address their felt needs in the area of environment and poverty reduction. Further to this the UNDP/LIFE project introduced community based social services provision that contributed to reduction of poverty by way of creating jobs to community groups; improved environment with fully community participation; Along the shore of Lake Victoria at Kirumba the project mobilized market community to form a CBO that was later subcontracted by the Mwanza City Council to collect market revenue. This best practice was later replicated to other districts, municipal and city councils in Tanzania. I also worked on Child Labor focused programs under ILO and Winrock International. Through these programs children were withdrawn from worst form of child labour and provided with education opportunities; out of school older children were provided opportunities in vocational training centers and later secured decent jobs or created jobs for other youths
