GCAP TANZANIA CSO COALITION 2014 ACTION PLAN
The GCAP Tanzania 2014 Action Plan highlights our main focus as a CSO coalition and what strategies will be used to achieve the objectives. In 2014, the coalition is focused on achieving policy positions and objectives in four main areas namely; Agriculture, Health, Education, Land and Natural Resources. This action plan seeks to position the campaign messages in the public sphere, strengthen the capacity of the coalition members to be able to engage and finally engage policy/decision makers to honour promises and change or accelerate policy implementation in the four selected socio-economic sectors. We call upon all Tanzania GCAP Coalition members to participate effectively so as to achieve what is in our plan, we also call for support from development partners, individuals and the community to join the call to action so that we can create The Tanzania We Want (TTWW).
