| Hakikazi Catalyst is a non-profit, non-political and
non-religious organisation committed to achieving social and economic
justice.
We promote the rights of people to fully participate in the social,
technical, environmental and economic decisions that affect their lives. |
 |

|
| We work on the basis that being able to understand issues of
policy and engage with them is a strategic need for the poor and
marginalised.
We directly address perceptions of powerlessness by enabling people to
understand the forces acting on their lives and livelihoods and by
empowering them to develop appropriate reactions.
Through our work vulnerable people are empowered to enforce their 'Right
to a Say'. |
 |

|
| Our vision is of a Tanzania where poor people are
empowered with the knowledge and skills necessary to generate an active and
effective voice which influences policy decisions in favour of pro-poor
sustainable livelihoods solutions. Our mission is to act as a local
catalyst by facilitating participatory processes which empower marginalised
people with knowledge about policies which effect their development and
skills which enable them to engage constructively with government and other
stakeholders to secure their social and economic rights.
Our goal is to facilitate processes that support the initiatives
of poor and marginalised communities to influence change in national and
local level policy and practice and also to promote the eradication of
poverty. |
