Civil society, government officials participate in Tanzania Global Sanitation Fund programme inception workshop


Today, some 65 representatives of Local Government agencies and civil society organisations in Tanzania participated in a meeting in the capital city Dodoma to learn more about the national Global Sanitation Fund (GSF) programme and their own potential involvement in it.

Mr. Francis Mtitu, GSF Programme Manager at Plan Tanzania, is interviewed by media representatives on 23 January 2013 at the inception workshop for the GSF in Dodoma.
Known as the Usafi wa Mazingira Tanzani (UMATA) in Kiswahili, the five-year UMATA programme is funded with US$ 5,000,000 from WSSCC and aims to increase access and use of improved sanitation facilities in the country. It also seeks to positively change behaviours related to sanitation and hygiene on a wide scale for communities.  With an initial focus on three districts near Dodoma, namely Bahi, Chamwino and Kongwa, the programme builds upon the National Sanitation Campaign and existing country strategies.
