Phase I of the project supported the activities of TASAF, an autonomous government agency that implements small-scale, demand-driven, community development projects among the rural poor in the Lindi and Mtwara regions of Southeastern Tanzania.
Phase II, in cooperation with local communities, will carry out an additional number of sub-projects in the same regions. These will target areas such as agriculture, particularly animal husbandry; the provision of safe drinking water; and, health, through the construction of 14 clinics and staff housing. Other sub-projects will build classrooms and student/teacher accommodation. In addition, rural roads will be rehabilitated, along with foot bridges, culverts, irrigation schemes and small markets.
