Strengthening citizen participation is essential for building accountable, inclusive, and responsive governance systems. When citizens actively engage in decision making processes, they contribute valuable perspectives that help shape policies and development initiatives that reflect community needs and priorities.

The 2024/25 CAG reports show Tanzania’s challenge is not a lack of resources, but weak accountability, efficiency, and implementation.
• 38,181 audit recommendations raised, only 38% implemented
• TZS 10.75T tied up in tax disputes
• TZS 8.75T in uncollected receivables
Persistent inefficiencies, delays, and weak enforcement continue to undermine public service delivery and development.

There’s a clear gap between global education goals and what schools are actually experiencing.

GAWE 2026 is calling attention to that gap and asking a simple question: are we investing enough to match our promises? Community-led approaches like Kuyenda show that progress is possible when resources are directed where they matter.

Now is the time to scale what works. Video By RYC Mbeya @KuyendaC

When education is underfunded, it’s the most vulnerable learners who feel it first.

Girls, children with disabilities, and rural communities continue to face barriers that could be addressed through smarter and fairer education financing. GAWE 2026 is a reminder that inclusion must be funded, not just discussed.

This is where meaningful partnerships matter most. _~ RYC Mbeya

Education inequality doesn’t appear overnight, it grows where investment is weak or uneven.

This GAWE 2026, the focus is shifting toward action. Not just commitments, but real financing that reaches schools, teachers, and learners who need it most. Work on the ground shows that change is possible when communities are part of the solution.

We’re open to partners who want to help scale that impact.~ RYC Mbeya

“Education shapes everything, but only if it’s properly supported.

Through Kuyenda, we’re seeing what’s possible when communities are engaged and given the tools to push for better education systems. The work ranges from local advocacy to improving learning conditions, always with a focus on those at risk of being left out.

As the global spotlight turns to education financing during GAWE 2026, we’re looking to collaborate with partners who are serious about sustainable impact.” ~ Silvester Julius Mgawe (RYC Mbeya)

“There’s a growing gap between education commitments and what’s actually happening on the ground.

Kuyenda is helping bridge that gap connecting communities with the systems meant to serve them, and making sure issues like inclusion, gender equity, and access stay front and center.

This GAWE 2026, the message is simple: progress needs resources. And real impact comes when those resources are used where they matter most.” ~ RYC’s Mbeya

“Progress in education doesn’t happen in isolation, it’s built through consistent investment and strong partnerships.

Kuyenda is rooted in communities, where the challenges are most visible and the impact is most needed. From supporting learners to engaging local stakeholders, the work is practical, ongoing, and focused on inclusion.

As global conversations around education financing continue during GAWE 2026, we see a clear opportunity for partners to support solutions that are already making a difference.” ~ Tunsume Kibweja

This week, as we mark GAWE 2026, we’re reminded that access to education is still out of reach for far too many children.

Through the Kuyenda Program, we’re working directly with communities to close that gap supporting inclusive learning spaces and strengthening local voices to advocate for better investment in education.

There’s real momentum on the ground, but scaling this work takes partnership. We’re open to working with those ready to invest in long-term, community-led change.
