The study culminated into policy briefs targeting national, district and community or village levels (See Sample in Annex 1). The policy briefs contain recommendations categorized into four groups: a) Policy reforms such as those concerning youth development strategies and education curricula in schools; b) Legal reforms such as those governing access to productive land, forests and water resources; and, c) Institutional arrangements for facilitating youth engagement in agribusiness and in tackling cultural and traditional impediments to equatable dictribution of production resources as well as prejudices against farmining. It is envisaged that such interventions to the identifi ed bottlenecks will help to catalyse youth participation and inclusion in economic activities, particularly in agriculture and related value chains. Given that the task of policy dialogue requires joint eff orts by diff erent stakeholders, EAYIP had planned to engage some civil society organisations (CSOs) residents in the districts who will be engaged to provide trainings to Youth Groups (YGs) and Hub Committees (HCs) on advocating for policy, legal and institutional reforms. This will ensure sustainability of the intervention beyond the program’s timeframe. The objective of mapping and identifying CSOs is to get experienced institutions that will build the capacity of YGs and also cooperate with them to advocate for policy, legal and institutional reforms. Methodology Used to Pick CSOs: The methodology used to identify the relevant CSOs involved four stages: The fi rst step was to obtain a list of more than 600 registered CSOs kept by the Community Development Offi ces in each of the target districts. The list was screened to pick, from each district, at least three of those meeting the following criteria: engagement in agricultural value chain and agribusiness in general and/or natural resources; focussing on youth; youth-led or youth managed; and have geographical focus in one or more of EAYIP mandated districts where East Africa Youth Inclusion Program(EAYIP) iii CSOs/NGOs MAPPING REPORT | The Case of Mbeya, Songwe, Njombe and Iringa Regions in Tanzania the program is taking place. Surprisingly, it was not easy to get more than three CSOs that met the mentioned criteria. This is because most of them are focussed on health matters (HIV and reproductive health). The third step was to visit and interview the shortlisted CSOs using a checklist of questions shown in Annex 2. The fourth stage was to rank the short-listed CSOs and suggest a fi nal list, which will be involved in the next stage of capacity building trainings for conducting policy advocacy work. Proposed CSOs In each LGA there are some mature Youth Groups (YGs) and Hub Committees (HCs) whom we expect will be the main catalysts in pushing to demand for policy, legal and institutional reforms to support agribusiness. We anticipate that between 2 and 3 youth groups will be actively involved. They are supported by the District Youth Development Offi cers, who will partner with identifi ed youth-focussed Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in collaboration with MIICO and Restless Development (RD) as EAYIP Implementing Partners. The proposed 9 CSOs after fi nal screening are as follows: (a) Mbeya rural DC: SETA= Serve Tanzania: Executive Director: Dr. Damian Swai-0713 or 0766- 281095, E-mail: [email protected].

In my business, for example, statistics help me know where I can get raw materials, get to know the number of my customers and help me prepare products accordingly. Indeed, the numbers show the trend of my business which allows me to predict the future. My customers are both locals and foreigners who yearly visit the region. In June every year, I gather information from various institutions which receive foreign visitors here in Dodoma. With estimated number of visitors in hand, it gives me ample time to prepare products for my clients’ satisfaction.

    United Republic of Tanzania The United Republic of Tanzania Jointly prepared by Ministry of Finance and Planning, National Bureau of Statistics and Njombe Regional Secretariat Njombe Region National Bureau of Statistics Njombe Dodoma November, 2020 Njombe Region Socio-Economic Profile, 2018 Foreword The goals of Tanzania’s Development Vision 2025 are in line with United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and are pursued through the National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (NSGRP) or MKUKUTA II. The major goals are to achieve a high-quality livelihood for the people, attain good governance through the rule of law and develop a strong and competitive economy. To monitor the progress in achieving these goals, there is need for timely, accurate data and information at all levels. Problems especially in rural areas are many and demanding. Social and economic services require sustainable improvement. The high primary school enrolment rates recently attained have to be maintained and so is the policy of making sure that all pupils who passed Primary School Leaving Examination must join form one. The Nutrition situation is still precarious; infant and maternal mortality rates continue to be high and unemployment triggers mass migration of youths from rural areas to the already overcrowded urban centres. Added to the above problems, is the menace posed by HIV/AIDS, the prevalence of which hinders efforts to advance into the 21st century of science and technology. The pandemic has been quite severe among the economically active population leaving in its wake an increasing number of orphans, broken families and much suffering. AIDS together with environmental deterioration are problems which cannot be ignored.
