PROGRAMMES •Governance and Democracy •Health and HIV/AIDS education •Human Rights Advocacy •Economic Empowerment •Cultural and Social Development, Recently;a) On 25th October 2015 my country Tanzania held General elections. With the knowledge I gained after attending the EMRIP we worked in collaboration with other networks in providing civic education and voter education to the people in our society who are indigenous. The training included their rights to vote as well as their rights to contest for various positions such as Councillor, Member of Parliament. Village leadership. Furthermore, we encouraged people with disabilities who are eligible to participate because it is their right. In view of gender equality we also encouraged women who have been marginalized in the indigenous people societies to come out and vote or contest for the various positions. We held a different session with the women during the training. b) In order to be engaged in decision making bodies at village and district level we provide training to the people in the communities both men and women how they can participate in government structure and policy formulation. c) We conducted formal meetings to promote peace and security for farmers and pastoralists who have been fighting for a long time over land ownership in Morogoro and Manyara regions. d) We also trained the indegineous people on inheritance rights of properties and land, women/girls rights. e) We mobilized them to establish income generation groups in order to supplement family income in view of removing economic dependence and abolish domestic violence. |
