TANZANIA: Young people are tomorrow: youth entrepreneurship and food sovereignty for young Tanzanians

The project " Young people are tomorrow" funded by the Italian Episcopal Conference, is the result of an important work of coordination and integration between the commitment of FOCSIV, of 10 of its member organizations and the Tanzanian Episcopal Conference as a local counterpart. The project activities entrusted to the partners (NGOs and the Tanzanian Episcopal Conference) will take place in various areas of the African country including: Arusha, Iringa, Same (Kilimangiaro), Bunda (Mara), Songea-Masasi-Tunduru (Ruvuma), Namtumbo (Ruvuma). The direct beneficiaries of the Arusha-Iringa-Same-Bunda-Songea-Masasi-Tunduru areas will be 2,560 in total; in the province of Namtumbo there will be 1460. The present intervention aims to improve the living conditions of the Tanzanian population, through training actions aimed at young people, for greater recognition of the dignity and rights of every human being, a better distribution of wealth, allowing everyone access to basic goods, greater unity and brotherhood, with particular attention to the care of the poorest and nature to preserve it for future generations. Several results are expected from the actions undertaken: improving access to information on the world of work and future possibilities for developing new entrepreneurial ideas, the launch of technical-professional training for 180 young people; support for decentralized training and the creation of consortia (CBO Community-based organization) and agro-zootechnical cooperatives to stimulate the reduction of production costs and speculation in the food market The activities planned for the part of the project concerning COPE and the reference area are:
