Twaweza East Africa is a regional non-governmental organization registered in Tanzania with offices in Kenya and Uganda. Following ten years of experience in ensuring that children are learning, citizens are exercising their rights and authorities are improving their responsiveness to citizens’ concerns and priorities. Our mission is threefold:
To demonstrate that citizens can come together to collectively address their problems, and make government work for them
To enable citizens’ voice, interests and experiences to be heard and taken seriously in decision-making
To promote and protect open civic space which enables citizens to freely assemble or organize, speak and act
Ultimately, we aim to contribute in effective implementation of decentralization policies aimed at bringing governments and citizens closer together for effective collaboration in realizing sustainable development goals. We believe in an open society, built on the human impulse to make a difference; where information and ideas flow, citizens engage, and authorities are accountable to the people.
As we begin implementing our current strategic plan (2019-2022), we want to establish the current situation of citizen participation, local governance capacity and service delivery status in selected districts in Tanzania. As a result, we intend to engage services of external partners to serve as team leaders or enumerators for baseline data collection exercises.
The successful candidates will work closely with Twaweza staff in developing data collection tools, sampling study sites and respondents, and collecting data and conduct some preliminary analysis applying latest approaches and techniques for generating credible evidence.
