Frame agreement with NGO (Suomen Lahetysseura ry) The project provides in-service training to secondary school teachers working in disadvantaged secondary schools in Meru District Council. Most importantly, the aim is to increase the use of participatory and integrative teaching approach in teaching Engli
sh, Geography and History. Additionally, themes such as environmental issues, social aspects of the hiv and aids -pandemia and gender equality will be holistically integrated in the mentioned subjects. Teachers? skills will be strengthened both in theoreti
cal knowledge and practical training. Also research articles will be produced. During the recent years, secondary education in Tanzania has been characterised by a growing number of schools and students, and at the same time, by an alarming rate of failure
 in national Form 4 examinations. In the area of teaching approach, the Ministry of Education of Tanzania has introduced a curriculum change for secondary school subjects, including a shift from teacher-centered to learner-centered participatory approach. 
The introduction of new syllabuses has not been accompanied by adequate in-service training for the teachers working in the field. This has caused confusion, uncertainty and resistance among the teachers initially trained according to the principles of the
 traditional teacher-centered approach. PITA Project will be implemented in collaboration between TUMA University Faculty of Education, Meru District Education authorities and selected secondary schools. The project benefits the secondary school teachers a
nd students but on top of that, it offers the academic programmes an opportunity to test and apply participatory and integrative teaching methods in practical grass root level teaching and to develop the teacher training programmes to meet the requirements
 and challenges of the Tanzanian reality. 20 econdary schools with approximately 4.200 students and 120 teachers will be included in the background survey and further design of the project in 2014. PITA project is implemented by Tumaini University Makumira
 (TUMa) which is FELM?s longtime partner. TUMa Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences was constructed in 2003-2010 as a FELM development cooperation project financed by MFA of Finland.

Sanitation Improvement and Social Enterprise in Dar es Salaam Tanzania In Dar es Salaam DSM Tanzania around 80% of the population lack of improved sanitation and water services. These people live mainly in informal settlements and lack of resources to improve their living conditions. The project aims to improve the social wel
lbeing of the population living in informal settlements by ensuring universal access to improved sanitation and water services. In addition the project intends to increase economic growth and ensures sustainability by promoting the creation of a sustainabl
e community based enterprise. In Keko Machungwa an informal settlement in DSM there is a group of mostly women from the Federation of Urban Poor called PHAST Ujenzi PU who has started activities to address sanitation issues together with a local NGO Center
 for Community Initiatives. However these women have faced many challenges due to the lack of funds and the lack of further knowledge and skills on sanitation. Through this project PU will be trained on all topics related with dry sanitation (DT) and they 
will be empowered so that they can create and run a social enterprise that will provide sanitation services (training and construction of facilities). Dry sanitation will be strongly encouraged because of all the advantages that this system offers: no need
 of complex infrastructure easy to maintain ecological appropriate for places with high water tables (this is the case in DSM) opportunity to use waste as fertilizer. Water harvesting is encouraged and integrated to tackle the issue of water shortage. The 
social enterprise will also commercialize urine and compost as fertilizers and it will sell vegetables grown by using these fertilizers. The project also contains educational events and workshops and production of written visual and audio material to infor
m people about the importance of adequate sanitation and hygiene and about the advantages to use DT and organic fertilizers. In the first year PU will build DT in Keko Machungwa which is located in Temeke municipality (subdistrict/area) second year in Ving
unguti in Ilala municipality and in the third year in Tandale in Kinondoni municipality. By covering these three informal settlements all municipalities of DSM are influenced which ensures the possibility to multiply the sanitation activities in the future
. Dry toilets will be built in households and in schools. Special attention will be given to accessibility in order to avoid exclusion of any marginal group.

Community managed ecological sanitation and waste management project for Livingstone Zambia Project aims to improve poor sanitation and waste management situation in Livingstone Zambia. The local partner is an NGO named Livingstone Green Iniative (LGI). Overall objective is to establish community managed ecological dry toilet (DT) sanitation as a
n alternative for the conventional sanitation approaches in water+sanitation and solid waste management.Poverty levels in the high-density urban areas of Livingstone are high. Most households have no regular source of income and they have no access to prop
er water+sanitation facilities which result in spreading of diseases and many other social environmental and econ problems. Cross-cutting issues:a) Human rights: the project activities focus on the least privileged communities in Livingstone, it provides t
hem with a conducive environment and a source of income from which they can provide for their basic needs.b) Gender equality: The majority of workers at the vegetable markets in Livingstone are women. They form the main beneficiaries of the composting of m
arket waste and establishment of tree nurseries. Both women and men participate and benefit from DT and glass components of the project. Improving WASH in schools benefits especially girls.c) Climate proofing: Dry toilets are flood and drought proof and th
us adapted to climate change and variability as well as reduce the risk of disasters such as groundwater contamination and disease epidemics.Institutional arrangements:The project will make use of existing community structures such as Market Committees and
 Area Development Committees which are part of the Local Authority (City Council) and  Zambia Environmental Agency (ZEMA) Zambia Development Agency (ZDA) and Forestry Department. Local schools and vocational training centres and local leaders are involved.
 Beneficiaries: Market women and the youth for the composting and less privileged households for the dry toilet component. Glass recycling will create employment for males and females of all ages. School children+vulnerable youth are involved in WASH and D
T-training.Key activities.  1. Sensitization education and trainings of WASH+Dry toilets (incl. building) in all levels 2. Establishment of DTs in urban and peri-urban areas which have no water and sewerage system 3. Composting of organic waste at vegetabl
e markets and establishment of tree nurseries 4. Glass recycling for production of building materials, to be done by small business enterprises of community members.

NGO Support / Citizen Welfare Support and Resource Centre Tanzania is at a crucial stage of development: high economic growth large findings of natural resources with high potential for revenues key political processes including new constitution (2014) and multi-party elections (2015) high population growth and i
ncreasing inequality. Wealth for some but wide-spread poverty for the vast majority combined with special challenges of the most vulnerable groups of society and major environmental problems (deforestation impact of climate change pollution due to extracti
on of natural resources) are some of the major challenges over the next decade. In this process of change civil society organisations have an important role to play firstly as advocates of the most vulnerable people and on changes needed in terms of policy
 and implementation and secondly as service providers for vulnerable groups who are without care. However the capacity of NGOs remains low especially in terms of ability to perform advocacy work. There is a need to further increase the capacity and profess
ionalism of NGOs and to strengthen their coordination and cooperation.Key aim of the CISUNET project is to achieve socially and ecologically sustainable development and reduction of poverty. While the first phase (2008-2010) and second  phase (2011-2013) p
rioritized on strengthening the working capacity and networking of local NGOs the third phase (2014-2016) will precedence strengthening the advocacy element of NGO work. It will increase the capability of Tanzanian civil society via community-based NGOs an
d umbrella NGO TACOSODE to influence policy and decision-making towards reduction of poverty and inequality and to perform advocacy work to improve the situation and rights of the most vulnerable groups (women children people with disabilities people livin
g with HIV/AIDS elderly people unemployed youths etc.). Further the project increases the capacity and networking of Tanzanian NGOs among NGOs themselves and between NGOs and the public and private sectors on a local national and international level. It pr
omotes understanding on issues of globalisation and development among social and health NGOs in Finland and internationally via the global umbrella organisation ICSW thus promoting North-South cooperation. Means of intervention are assessment of local NGOs
, training workshops and seminars, regional national and international awareness-raising, provision of IT equipment and internet access to NGO networks.
