The Community Together: Observations from Immersion 2012
11 May 2012
| Learning and Evaluation
In March 2012 the Twaweza East Africa team, in conjuction with Daraja, did a week long immersion in Njombe, in the southern highlands of Tanzania. During our immersion, we saw communities working together to bring change to their lives. In the absence of specific services and facilities, the community works together with leadership from inspiring individuals to fill the gaps.
While it is impossible to neatly sum up or come to any definite conclusions about what we experienced, we have put together some observations from participants. View our Informal presentation, The Community Together, to read of our observations on access to information, power, change, education, health and water.
The lessons we learnt are already informing our work and will continue to do so throughout the year.
