More than 80 community gender facilitators from Kondoa District in Dodoma, Tanzania have completed an intensive four-day training aimed at empowering them to lead gender-responsive and inclusive development in their communities. The workshop was organised by the Tanzania Gender Networking Programme (TGNP) in collaboration with the Aga Khan Foundation and funded by the Irish Embassy through the Tuinuke Pamoja project. The training focused on enhancing participants’ capacity to engage meaningfully in local government planning and budgeting processes, as well as how to identify community priorities through a gender lens, mobilise voices at the grassroots level, and advocate for the inclusion of those priorities in council budgets and development plans.
