LESSON

Lesson Learned: Empowering Civil Society to Monitor Development Programmes in Tanzania

Only two thirds of the targeted 180 civil society organization members in Tanzania completed the training on policy dialogue and advocacy of development programme issues. To ensure impact the grantee should have made a greater effort to involve a higher number of civil society organizations in lobbying of government.

Project Description
The project in Tanzania targeted civil society in the Dodoma region. Most of the population depends on agriculture. The grantee worked with farmers and pastoralists as well as local NGOs, local government officials and community members, to develop more inclusive and responsive development policies, strategies and programmes. The grantee combined awareness raising activities focusing on development programmes to enhance the local population’s engagement in policy dialogue and advocacy with capacity building in development programme process monitoring.
