The challenge
The association wanted to turn its members’ priorities into a coherent plan, strengthen its governance and access funding for local initiatives such as environmental conservation.
Our approach
We facilitated community-based strategic planning with the association’s leadership and members and strengthened its organisational governance. We then designed “Green Horizons”, a community project combining mangrove restoration, urban tree planting and beekeeping in Mbweni ward, Kinondoni, and prepared the proposal and budget for the Tanzania Forest Fund (TaFF) small-grants window in 2024 and 2025.
The outcome
In the association’s words, the intervention “amplified community ownership, improved organizational governance, and unlocked new funding streams for local initiatives.”
