1.  INTRODUCTION

This document is intended to provide narrative explanations of KIOO Development interventions for the five years 2010 to 2015.  It highlights major policy and program priorities and engagements at village, Ward and district levels in Kigoma district. This is our operational plan which intends to address issues from the analysis of the local context. The external contexts have been analyzed and given priority in making our engagement connected to what is happening in plan.  This plan is a result of different interactions at community, district and national level where different stakeholders have contributed ideas and concerns.

Looking at the first goals set at the beginning of the Kioo in 2004, we are certain that most of the targets set in Education, Agriculture, HIV/AIDS, Women Rights and Governance have been met. The fulfilment of these targeted goals made Kioo to consider and develop five years (2010 – 2015) phase out strategy. The programme will utilize and strengthening the Capacity of community members to have more competence in diagnosing their problems and find sustainable solutions. This community empowerment will remain for the scaling up of development in rural areas where our presence is mostly felt. We are optimistic that the foundation which we have laid will speed up the ongoing efforts to eradicate poverty by using the Right Based Approach because local communities are now able to stand united and advocate for their issues of concern.

1.  PLANNING PROCESS

This plan is a result of many participatory interactive processes from community (Village) level to district and national levels. The Participatory Review and Reflection Process sessions carried out in the communities of palm growers, coffee growers and with district officials inspired most of the interventions planned for 2010 and 2015. Our stakeholders (individual persons / organizations) and partners have worked hard in identifying burning issues which require special attention when planning and budgeting for the five years of Kioo intervention in Kigoma. The challenges and lessons learned from 2004 have added up the value of this plan. Kioo staffs have highly contributed to this plan and they are the major source of quality and policy compliance assurance. We are sure that this plan represents all major concerns of the poor and excluded in Kigoma development area and has followed the thematic priorities and guidelines as provided by the thematic advisors and country management team.

1.  CONTEXTUAL ANALYSIS

The content and structure of this plan has a big influence from both external and internal contexts.

3.1 External context

3.1.1Socio-economic Development

Agriculture is the major economic activity in Kigoma rural district. Over 95% of the total population of the district depends on agriculture for its livelihood. The bulk of agricultural production comes from stallholders who employ very little capital. The main inputs are labour and land.  Although agriculture is the major source of income for the majority of the people, the area which is under agricultural utilization is very small compared to the area that could be reclaimed for agriculture. The district is estimated to have about 386,000 hectares of potentially cultivable land but only 95,000 hectares of arable land are under cultivation. Agricultural production depends mostly on natural rains whereby the major crops grown include maize, beans, cassava, bananas, groundnuts, oil palm, coffee, cotton and tobacco. In addition crops are grown in accordance with agro-ecological zones. In the Highland Zone, a wide range of crops is grown of which maize, beans and bananas are the most important. Coffee is grown in the upper wetter areas. This zone covers a greater part of the area bordering Burundi. The major crops grown in the Intermediate Zone are maize, cassava, beans, bananas, groundnuts, oil palm and sweet potatoes. A range of the other vegetable crops are also grown. There are a number of constraints affecting the agricultural sector as follows;

• Infrastructure Constraint

The district’s road network is poorly developed and inadequately maintained, with severe disruption during the rainy seasons. There have also been serious problems in ensuring access to reliable and affordable infrastructure in the district. In particular telecommunications, power and water services are major concerns.

• Lack of Access to Support Services

The development of competitive markets requires the existence of supporting market institutions and adequate provision of essential public goods and services. The sector requires financial services, technological and information services, marketing services and capacity building through training. Government programmes for the provision of support services in the sector have not been effective and have often run into budgetary constraints. Many of these programmes have been more supply-driven than demand driven. Private provision of support services has not been encouraged and promoted through demand-driven approaches that facilitate the development of markets for private providers of these services. Availability of formal agricultural credit for production is limited. The provision of loans from available banks has not benefited farmers due to lack of timely provision of information.

• Continued Dependence on Rain fed Agriculture

Over dependence on rain fed agriculture has been a major constraint to sustainable increase in crop production in Kigoma rural district. While there is an abundance of water in rivers and Lake Tanganyika, there is very limited application of irrigated agriculture. Rural areas with long dry seasons, in particular, remain food insecure as long as they continue to depend on rained agriculture.

3.1.2       Political Context

Generally Tanzania is politically stable country with peaceful transition of powers. However, Kigoma region being at the border with countries with conflict such as Burundi, Rwanda, and Democratic republic of Congo, makes the region vulnerable to threats on peace and stability. There have been incidences of illegal arms imports, theft and human rights violation and environmental degradation as a result of inflow of refugees fleeing conflicts in their respective countries. Kigoma District has for about a decade been a fierce battle ground for the three rival political parties, namely;  Chama Cha Mapinduzi, Civil United Front and Chama Cha Democrasia na Maendeleo. This conflict has divided Wananchi and in some instances slowed down development projects.

3.1.3       Organizational context

Kioo as a development organization that envision a Tanzanian society where every individual is free from poverty, injustice and lives in dignity highly believes that the poor people we are working with have potentials.  That is why, through its strategic interventions, Kioo ensures that the potentials of the poor and excluded are utilized to bring about sustainable development in the areas that they belong.  Through the Right Based Approach, and using the participatory methodologies, the capacities of the communities are enhanced to bring about sustainable changes of attitude and behaviours to enable them to reflect, plan and move forward to remove all obstacles that hinder their development.  All this is done with a focus in mind that Kioo will not be in one place for ever.  All that has gone before, that is the appraisal and the sustainability strategy were preparations for the community to take control of their destiny once Kioo stops operating in their area. 

3.2       Internal context

3.2.1 Summary of key achievements in 2008

2009 was the first year for Kioo to operationally its five years (2009-2013) strategic plan ‘Mkakati – Haki Wajibu’. 2009 was also the first year for Kioo to implement its three years phase out strategy (2008 -2010). Following the implementation of the 2008 operational plan, Kioo  has registered notable results in programming, organizational capacity building,  policy and practices, and support to communities and government to deliver basic needs as follows;

Women rights

The programme focuses on using Community Development Facilitators in raising women and communities awareness on girls rights to access education with due emphasis on campaigning against early marriages and pregnancies. It focuses on building women awareness on property inheritance rights in the face of HIV/AIDS and women participation in decision making and other political processes. This programme has worked to sensitize communities and leaders in government system to take sound action against the prevailing legal and cultural implication to women and girls.  Following these engagements, women have started taking charge in community activities especially in the STAR/REFLECT circles where their participation is well felt. There are more women circle leaders than men. This as a process has helped to provide an alternative model to the community where men have been considered to be the sole owners of property and leaders. We expect this model to be transformed and affected at family level in all areas of our operation. In the coffee growing areas; we see big changes taking place at family level where husband and wife register at primary co-operatives as independent share holders. This is a cultural revolution which we intend to achieve in all areas of our operation by the year 2010.A survey will be done in 2010 to determine the actual numbers of women owning shares and property in KIGOMA district.

Agriculture & Food Security 

Working closely with farmers has made it possible to record notable achievements in 2008, as follows;

• Education 

 HIV/AIDS 

 Governance

5        CHALLENGES AND LESSONS LEARNT

5.1       Major Challenges

Apart from many notable changes which the Kioo has recorded, there are some challenges which require special attention.

• In implementing the Right Based Approach the commitment of partners as stipulated in MOUs needed to be followed up times and again, and hence added some costs and commitment to the programme.
• The lack of Programme vehicle to provided some hard moments.
• The failure of the local government to utilize the girl’s hostel for the intended purpose has posed a big question to all nongovernmental organizations as to whether the local government really intends to address the challenges to improve girl child education in KIGOMA.
• In some villages women are still hesitant to contest for leadership and participate independently in development activities.

5.2       Major lessons learnt

The programme has learned some lessons which if followed up will make a good impact in community development and especially in making poverty history. 

• RBA if supplemented with service delivery can make a quick turn from traditional ways of doing things to the modern way of linking production to market economy.
• The strength of community can never be guaranteed unless all community members are aware of the purpose and the reason for their existence as a Community.

6        THEMATIC PLAN

6.1 Women rights

6.1.1 Context

In 2009 the programme concentrated on two priority issues; namely on girl child education and property inheritance including land issues, looking at women’s right to own, control and access properties including land as means of empowering them. On the girl child education the programme  influenced community circles through CDFs to discuss issues of culture, early school pregnancies, early marriages as well as other traditional issues hindering girls to access education. The community discussions resulted into positive actions where communities through their circles formed special committees to follow up with all that hinders a girl from attaining education. The right to property inheritance including land is still a nightmare to many women in Tanzania especially poor women and those living in rural areas. Communities are still using the customary law apart from having a land policy which allows both women and men to own and control properties including land.

The programme has no specific partner CBO dealing with Woman Right issues. Instead, all Women Right interventions are taken on board by our field officers. This move aims at creating ownership of the program especially bearing in mind that the community are the one to make sure that they owning all process. It is also true that since farmers constitute over 95% of the district total population, entrusting them with the move towards equal rights is actually empowering the whole community and spearheading a quick cultural and social change. The programme will in 2010-2015 work close with community members and farmer’s organizations to push the agenda on girl child education right and early marriages, women’s right to property inheritance and land as well as HIV/AIDS and violence against women. Our plan to organize women forums to advocate for ownership of property and participation in decision making, will take place at CIRCLE level and then one big forum at district level  involving women representatives from all circles. The forum will be informed by resource persons who will trigger discussions on issues facing KIGOMA women as far as ownership of property and inheritance are concerned.
