Join us in congratulating our Director on his recent summit of Africa’s highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro. Leonard Kitoka’s successful climb, proudly carrying the TangaYetu programme’s banner to the top of Africa, reminds us that with dedication and perseverance, we can overcome any challenge, no matter how steep it may seem. TangaYetu is a programme implemented under the ‘OurCity Initiative’ by Fondation Botnar, which aims to support selected cities around the world. Fondation Botnar focuses on leveraging digital technologies and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to transform cities into places where young people’s wellbeing and opportunities are secured. The initiative collaborates with young people, Tanga City Council, civil societies, policymakers, innovators, and other city champions to nurture wellbeing and opportunity for the citizens of Tanga. Driven by local-level programming, TangaYetu addresses problems caused by urbanization, resulting in young people’s struggle to meet their needs, urban poverty, and social exclusion. Specifically, TangaYetu aims to address four challenges: urbanization, unemployment, capacity for evidence-informed decisions, and access to quality social services. TangaYetu is currently implemented by INNOVEX working together with various partners to create a brighter future for the youth in Tanga.
