In the year 2002 we received many positive comments and expressions of appreciation for the Political Handbook/ NGO Calendar. This has encouraged us to continue to make the handbook as comprehensive as possible. Here, then, is the new handbook for 2003. We hope that you will find it just as interesting and useful. Once again we present a wide range of articles that discuss political, economical and social conditions in Tanzania. For readers actively engaged in the development of civil society the handbook is both a source of useful information and a toolbox to assist you in your work. We have done our best to make it as accurate and as reader-friendly as possible, but we are of course open to constructive comments and criticism. At FES we will continue to work with issues that have bearing on poverty reduction, issues such as gender, HIV/AIDS, conflict reduction and human rights. Closely related to poverty reduction is the agreed co-operation between the African, Caribbean, and Pacific states and the European Union, the conditions of which are described in the Cotonou Agreement. FES will contribute by furthering a better and broader dialogue on the issues in order to attain satisfying results for Tanzania and the region. Further projects of major concern for FES and for the partners are: •Leadership for Good Governance (“Youth Leadership Training Programme”) •Participation and Conflict Resolution (“Coping with Conflicts, Agenda Participation”) •Support to the Local Government Development (“Manual and Training for Councillors”) Finally I would like to thank our many contributors for their work, with special thanks to Alphonce Siarra, Kate Girvan and the coordinator, Angela Ishengoma. The staff of the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung Tanzania would like to wish you and your family a healthy, prosperous and peaceful year 2003. And let us stand together for Peace, Shalom, Salaam, Paz and Amani!
