Young Tanzanians train to become leaders in innovative social accountability project

From 10th to 14th September, 32 young Tanzanians were trained on how to recruit, teach and enthuse youths to monitor the performance of development projects carried out by NGOs and other organisations in their local areas.

The training was part of an innovative new project, called Social Accountability through Youth (SAY), which aims to not only improve the impact and cost-efficiency of development work but give young people and marginalised groups a louder voice regarding the implementation of aid in their communities.

The project is being delivered by Raleigh Tanzania in partnership with Integrity Action and is funded by a four-year grant from UK Aid Direct.
