Immediate projects are:

1: Advocacy on Governance

The project is part of the “Combating the Resource Curse study, which has shown that poor governance hinders poverty alleviation initiatives for African countries, Tanzania being one of them. This has been the objective of my policy study: (http://www.policy.hu/themes06/resource/index.html). The second stage of the Policy Study on Combating Curses in the Mining Sector for Tanzania is focusing on the advocacy campaigns.

2: INFORMATION DISSEMINATION & RESEARCH

Under this project, focus has been placed on public awareness campaigns about governance and development issues. TOMRIC NEWS AGENCY (TONA) is behind this program in areas of sourcing, analyzing and disseminating information in partnership with local and international partners. TONA has local and external partners. External partners have included AllAfrica.com, an American newswire that covers African issues. See: http://allafrica.com/publishers.html. TONA was created in 2000 to process and disseminate news, features and reports for readers and decision-makers. It puts emphasis on customized research, information dissemination that focus on impacts of various programs or policies to normal citizens.  Press is a powerful tool in advocacy and public awareness campaigns.
