CIVIC EDUCATION TO WOMEN AND YOUTH - "WOMEN AND YOUTH POWER"

Civic education and awareness has the nature of liberating people.  It has the capacity to create informed, empowered and responsible citizens who contribute towards sustainable development in their communities, beyond citizens who are just passive subjects of the state. In light of this, government of Tanzania through its various endeavours has been providing Civic Education to citizens to enhance their competence and opportunity to participate meaningfully and responsibly in self-governance. Tanzania as it is in many African countries under the democratic system of governance hasn't done enough in provision of civic education and democratic governance to youth-girls and women. For instance in 2015 during general election we witnessed number of youth and women making decision in choosing their political leaders just because of gifts and fake promises. Not only that also many women voted due to influence from their husbands and not because of their will. This isn't acceptable when the issue of development and forcing political leaders accountable comes. The experience also shows that Civic education in Tanzania has been provided during the closest months to general election and sometimes being interfered or restricted by campaign process and therefore to be inadequately provided or unable to reach all voters. The concept now insist this education and awareness to be provided at least within two years before the election so as to reach majority youth and women with voting age and create enough awareness.

However, According to the current study on Youth and women participation in public matters (2017) by DHWYT in some of Tanzania districts like Tandahimba, Liwale, Lindi and Mtwara, it was discovered that this kind of civic awareness is neither constantly provided nor reaching the majority citizens especially the youth and women who form 75 percentage of the population. Many times, this Civic education and awareness on political participation is only conducted by a few CSOs and NGOs during periods of general elections as opposed to this being a systematic and continuous process. And the study again shown that to every 10 youth and women, only 2 have at least little civic awareness and 8 haven't.

Therefore, civic education and awareness of political participation in Tanzania has not been accorded the importance it deserves in building the civic competence and removing exploitation among women and youth groups, evoking an active citizenry and entrenching the democratic culture. That being the case many people and especially youth and women remain in the peripheral when it comes to participation, involvement in the political, governance and electoral processes in their immediate communities and the country at large. There is no evidence that they have had any influence on these processes. DHWYT in this intervention intends to raise political and civic awareness and conduct voters’ education among women and youth so that they are able to effectively and meaningfully engage in political, governance and electoral processes in their communities, and hold the government accountable in terms of service delivery. Another discouraging experience an example from Mtwara and Tandahimba is that majority who are women and youth neither attend the campaign to listen their candidates nor appear to vote for them. This can only be addressed through creating awareness on political and civic education to Youth and women and engage in advocacy platform with duty barriers to see the importance of this kind of awareness to these social groups.   

At DHWYT we recognize that Political awareness and Civic education must be provided regularly to the majority Youth and women so that they are able to exercise their civic rights, roles, and responsibilities. This way they are able to contribute towards the sustainable development they wish to see in their communities and the country at large .We also appreciate that while the women and youth-girls have been marginalized for a long time, the youth in particular form a young, representative, vibrant constituency that makes the core voting age. They are available, they are evenly distributed, and they have the energy and constitute a formidable game changer when it comes to governance and electoral issues. Once well organized, well mobilized, and their advocacy knowledge on good governance, political participation and electoral process is sharpened can form the back born of the needed change in their communities. These groups once empowered with information will be able to demand their participation, hold duty bearers into account and contribute towards government leadership that delivers services to the people inform of job creation, infrastructure development, quality healthcare and education.

Wanawake ni wengi sana nchini Tanzania; Wakiamua leo kufanya maamuzi sahii, nchi yetu inaweza kupaa katika nyanja zote za kimaisha; yaani kiuchumi, kijamii, kisiasa(demokrasia) n.k
Ni ukweli ulio wazi kwamba pamoja na wingi wa wanawake na wasichana bado mchango wao umekuwa mdogo kuleta mabadiliko chanya kwani ndio wingi wao huo huo umekuwa unaamua na kuchagua viongozi dhaifu/ wasiofaa kwa maendeleo katika maeneo yetu, na Tanzania kwa ujumla. Hii imekuwa ni changamoto kubwa sana na imekuwa ikidhoofisha demokrasia nchini na misingi yake. 
Ikumbukwe kuwa elimu ya uraia ni haki ya kila mwananchi(Mtanzania) na inamuezesha na kumuongezea ufahamu, maarifa juu ya masuala ya umma; mfano jinsi ya kuchagua na kuwapata viongozi bora wanaoweza kuleta maendeleo. Elimu hii imekuwa haitolewi kwa wananchi na hasa wale wa vijijini. 
Wanawake waliowengi wamekuwa wakichakua bila hiari yao, wamekuwa wakichagua kwa misukomo flani flani, zawadi ndogo ndogo, pesa, pombe(10,000/=), vitenge, kanga, madela,sukari au vyakula n.k , 
hii ni hatari kwa nchi yetu, kiasi kwamba matatizo ya nchi hii tuliyonayo sina shaka kwamba wanawake na wasichana wamechangia kwa kiasi kikubwa sana. Hata hivyo ni matamanio yetu kuona tatizo hili linaisha kabisa mwaka huu kwa wadau na watu binafsi kuendelea kutoa elimu na ufafanuzi juu ya jambo hili hatali kwa mstakabali wa nchi yetu. 
Ikumbukwe pia kuwa ni wanawake hao hao wamekuwa wakilalamika juu ya huduma mbaya za afya, maisha magumu, maji, n.k bila kukumbuka kuwa zawadi walizozipokea wakati kama huu ndio maendeleo na huduma zao.
Rai yangu kwa wanawake na wasichana nchini, ni wakati wenu kulivusha taifa letu hapa lilipo, ni wakati wenu kupunguza vilio, ni wakati wenu kuonyesha watanzania na dunai kwamba kura yenu inathamani.
Siku zote rushwa na zawadi vinapofusha na kupumbaza, kamwe usipokee rushwa na ukaishia kufanya maamuzi yasiyo kuwa sahii.
Kudanganywa kila mwaka, kurubuniwa, kutumiwa vibaya na wakati mwingine kutishwa ni matokeo ya wananchi kutojua thamani yao katika uongozi na kuchagua.
KURA YAKO NI MAISHA YAKO KWA MIAKA 5 (Chagua kucheka au Kulia)

LENGO NAMBA SITA LA MALENGO ENDELEVU YA DUNIA NI MAJI - WIKI YA MAJI NA HUDUMA BORA ZA MAJI NCHINI

Tarehe 16 - 22 march kila mwaka ni wiki ya maji ulimwenguni.

Lengo namba 6 la Malengo endelevu ya Dunia ni Maji safi na usafi wa Mazingira.

Takribani watu Milioni 663 ulimwenguni hawapati na hawana vyanzo vya maji safi. 

Nchini Tanzania, tatizo la maji bado ni kubwa sana na watu wengi hawapati maji na wengine hawana maji safi.

Tukiwa tunaelekea wiki ya maji kesho, leo DOOR OF HOPE tumetembelea uongozi wa mamlaka ya maji safi Mtwara, MTUWASA na kupata nafasi ya kushirikishana namna bora tunaweza kuongeza upatikanaji wa maji, ulindaji wa miundombinu na vyanzo vya maji, na kuwashirikisha wananchi kulinda na kutunza miundo mbinu hiyo.

Pichani ni Mkurugezi wa MTUWASA na ED- DHWYT na maafisa wa shirika.

UFUATILIAJI WA UWAJIBIKAJI KWA JAMII (SAM) NA UFANIKISHAJI WA MALENGO ENDELEVU YA DUNIA

Lengo namba 4 la Maendeleo Endelevu ya Dunia ni Elimu.

Elimu ni kipaumbele cha taifa la Tanzania, na nchini Tanzania elimu inatolewa bila Malipo.

Lengo namba nne linaelekeza kila nchi kuhakikisha kupitia rasilimali zake inatoa elimu jumuhishi na bora kwa watoto.

Utafiti uliofanywa na shirika la Door of Hope mwaka 2017 juu ya ufaulu hafifu wa wanafunzi kwenye shule za msingi na sekondari kwenye mikoa ya Mtwara na Lindi ulibaini tatizo la Njaa kuwa chanzo cha kutofanya vizuri kwenye masomo yao,

Njaa na kukosa chakula inapelekea wanafunzi kutokuwa na utulivu darasani,mauzulio hafifu shuleni, kutoroka, afya mbaya na matokeo yake Kushindwa kwenye masomo.

Leo tarehe 19 machi, 2018 tumekutana na viongozi mbalimbali na wadau wa Elimu wa kata za Majengo na Likombe wakiwemo Madiwani, watendaji, walimu, Maafisa maendeleo, wenyeviti wa mitaa kujadili changamoto na namna ya kuongeza ufaulu kwenye halmashauri ya Mtwara Mikindani.

Tatizo la njaa kwa wanafunzi na uchache wa walimu kwenye shule za sekondari na msingi yamejitokeza mara nyingi kwenye majadiliano.
