Not all the time do non-governmental organisations have the right recipe for development. Sometimes they repeat the mistakes governments do, albeit in a different way. Self criticism is therefore important in order for CSOs to stay focused.

This report provides an account of the main achievements, gaps and lessons of the Twaweza
initiative in 2010. It is not a comprehensive assessment of all our work; only major areas are covered
and many smaller activities are omitted for reasons of space and clarity. The structure of the report
generally follows, with some exception for reasons of readability, the order of our Annual Plan 2010.

This is Twaweza's first annual report. The year 2009 was a set-up year, involving establishing offices in Dar es Salaam and Nairobi, recruiting staff, developing systems and policies, clarifying and communicating the Twaweza concept, and fundraising. The actual 'work' only got underway in the second half of 2009. This report outlines some of the achievements and gaps, as well as lessons learned during this formative year.

Read our updated strategy for 2011-2014, with information on our goals, program components, learning, monitoring and evaluation aspects, our governance structure and budget.
