INSIDE THIS ISSUE Message From the Head of Office, UNESCO Dar es Salaam

Dear friends, colleagues and partners,

This is the very first new issue of the

UNESCO Dar Es Salaam Office, since it has

changed from a cluster to a National Office in

August 2013. It coincided also with my

arrival as Head of Office and UNESCO

representative to the United Republic of

Tanzania.

A lot has happened since. We have moved

from the old premises and are now in a

pleasant place with a large garden, old trees

and a nice breeze from the see. In addition we

have expanded our programme staff from 11

to 17 and soon we will be welcoming 3 new

colleagues.

We are reaching out to the private sector and have now Samsung as our key partner

for the implementation of the Digital Village.

Programme wise during the first quarter of 2015, our activities were centred mostly

on the planning for the 2nd half of the current biennium while engaging in the

formulation process of the new UNDAP. On the implementation side, several key

programmes and innovative interventions have been launched or consolidated during

the past 3 months.

Within the broader UN agenda to defend and promote Human Rights, in particular for

the people with albinism (PWA), UNESCO was entrusted the lead for a UN joint

intervention aiming at stopping the infamous crimes committed against children and

women with albinism.

The great benefits of the use in ICTs in education were once more evidenced with the

launch of the 4th edition of the Post Graduate Programme in Curriculum

Development.

After pioneering the public outreach on Ebola information, the 28 UNESCO

supported community radios are assisting in the public

information in the cholera affected regions of the country.

In culture, the process for the elaboration of sustainable

tourism strategies for the renowned Ngorongoro

Conservation Area World Heritage Site was launched.

With this newsletter we hope not only to inform you on

what we are currently doing, but also open your appetite

to learn more about the UNESCO Dar es Salaam Office.

We wish you a good reading.

National consultation in

preparation for the Sub-Saharan

Africa Regional Conference on the

Post-2015 Education Agenda

Following UNESCO’s support to the elaboration of

the Education For All (EFA) National Review,

Mainland and Zanzibar have presented the United

Republic of Tanzania report, in an preparatory

meeting for the country’s participation in the Sub

Saharan Africa Education caucuses for the

discussion and reflections on the Africa position on

the Post-2015 education agenda.

Lead by the Honourable Minister of Education, Dr.

Shakuru Kawamba, the Dar es Salaam

consultation, involved a broad range of

stakeholders including government, development

partners, civil society and the media. The meeting

enabled the Government of Tanzania to take a

common position on the country's educational

concerns and aspirations with the regional and

international fora. As a result, lead by Dr.

Kawamba, a 5 members delegation of the United

Republic of Tanzania participated in the Sub-

Saharan Africa Regional Ministerial Conference on

Education Post-2015 in Kigali, Rwanda from 9 to

11 February 2015.

UNESCO joins forces in support of Tanzania’s Ministry of Education

and Vocational Training in the review of current Education Sector

Analysis and the drafting of the next Education Sector Development

Programme (2016 -2021)

After several months of discussions, the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training of Tanzania

Mainland and UNESCO have engaged in a joint process for the review of the Education Sector Plan

and the subsequent elaboration of the new Education Plan. Funded by GPE, this activity will mark as

well the transition from a model of compulsory primary education of 6 years to a 11 years Basic

education programme (from one year of pre-primary to four years of secondary education). The new

Policy, launched by the president of the United Republic of Tanzania in February this year, welcomes

Tanzania to the large group of African countries that aspire improved education for their nations in

alignment with a policy change advocated under the so called UNESCO BEAP (Basic Education in

Africa Programme).

Coordinated by the UNESCO Dakar Office, the exercise of the ESDP review and elaboration of the

new Education Plan, will be carried out under the technical lead of the UNESCO International Institute

of Education Planning (UNESCO/IIEP) and have contributions of other key UNESCO education

institutions such as the UNESCO Institute of Lifelong Learning (UIL) the UNESCO Institute of

Statistics (UIS) as well as IBE (The International Bureau of Education). This highly strategic exercise

was launched in late March 2015 and is expected to be concluded in October of this year.

Launch of the 4th Edition of the Post

Graduate Diploma Course in

Curriculum Design and

Development in Africa

The Country Representative of the United Nations

Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization

(UNESCO) in Tanzania, Ms Zulmira Rodrigues

launched the fourth edition of the Post Graduate

Diploma Course in Curriculum Design and

Development in Africa. The launch was held at the

Open University of Tanzania (OUT) in Dar es

Salaam on 9 March 2015.

Knowledge and education are considered among

the most important factors contributing to the

reduction of poverty, sustainable human, social and

economic development, and curriculum and

teachers are considered key factors in the Basic

Education for Africa Program (BEAP) adopted by

16 countries in Kigali in 2007. Tanzania launched

BEAP in 2009, putting curriculum, teachers,

teaching-learning environment and capacity

building at the heart of its education reforms that

aim at achieving high quality teaching and learning

outcomes.

In 2011 UNESCO launched under the leadership of

its International Bureau of Education (IBE) in

cooperation with the HQs section for Teaching,

Learning and Content, the Tanzania Institute of

Education and the Open University of Tanzania, an

accredited, international Postgraduate diploma in

Curriculum Design and Development.

The diploma is a multi-partner flagship program of

UNESCO, and for the Africa region hosted in the

Tanzania Institute of Education and accredited by

the Open University of Tanzania. Now in its 4th

edition since 19 March 2015, it consists of a face to

face intensive phase of 10 days, followed by 30

weeks of on-line training provided by a team of

international trainers (tutors), a platform manager

and regional coordinator.

The core training material is Resource Pack

complimented by international case studies and

thematic modules available to the trainees in soft

and hard copies.

Currently in its 4th edition, the diploma has

mobilized over 30 countries, including the East

African Community members and is emerging as a

sustainable capacity building program that respond

to the needs of the Member States in Africa. The

programme has attracted not only graduates from

Africa but also from USA, the UK and most

recently from Hong Kong. The programme is

implemented with the financial support of

UNESCO regular programme and the Hamdan

Award for Distinguished Academic Performance.

UNESCO Emphasizes Science,

Technology and Innovation as a

Means to Sustainable Development

and Poverty Reduction in Africa

On 18th December 2014 the UNESCO Deputy

Director General (DDG), Mr Getachew Engida,

attended the 2nd graduation ceremony of the

Nelson Mandela African Institute of Science and

Technology (NM-AIST). Located in Arusha,

Tanzania, NM-AIST is one in a network of Pan-

African Institutions of Science and Technology

devoted to promoting, catalysing, and stimulating

innovation and entrepreneurship for sustainable

development in Eastern and Sub-Saharan Africa.

The institute is dedicated to postgraduate training

and research.

Honour guest to the ceremony was His Excellence

President Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete of the United

Republic of Tanzania, who was awarded a

Honorary Doctorate Degree by the NM-AIST.

Mr Getachew Engida thanked the President for his

vision to move forward Mandela's Unsung Legacy

of Science in Africa which originated in 2001.

The Deputy Director General reminded that,

Africa is the world’s most populous and youngest

continent which can be an opportunity for change,

progress and social dynamism if Africa’s young

women and men have the needed skills and new

technologies to stimulate inclusive growth, create

employment and reduce poverty. This is why

science, technology and innovation are important.

Through Science and Technology, UNESCO helps

member states answer key questions Africa must

address over the next decades on inclusive growth,

poverty reduction and sustainable development

through dialogue, interaction of peoples and

cultures and the meeting of minds.

He informed that among the areas that UNESCO

supports, science and technology has a special

place in the cooperation between UNESCO and

the Government of Tanzania, in particular

strengthening Tanzania’s National Science,

Technology and Innovation system.

UNESCO has been supporting the Government of

Tanzania in the review and repositioning of

Science, Technology and Innovation System.

Science cooperation lies at the heart of UNESCO’s

project to build a more just and equitable world.

This requires a new vision of STI for Africa – it

calls for new investments, to allow all societies to

participate in creating and sharing knowledge.

UNESCO works with over 20 African countries to

create national science, technology and innovation

systems and to support national development

priorities.

UNESCO Initiates Sustainable

Tourism Programme at

Ngorongoro Conservation Area

The UNESCO World Heritage Centre has signed

the World Heritage and Sustainable Tourism

Programme (WH+ST Programme) to catalyse

positive change to protect and conserve the sites,

while enriching the lives of local communities and

at the same time the experience of travellers. The

aim is to develop heritage-based tourism that is

anchored on the Outstanding Universal Values of

the World Heritage Sites. Travel and tourism is

worldwide one of the largest industries and

heritage tourism is its most rapidly growing

international sector. With millions of tourists

visiting World Heritage sites each year, tourism

has become an important cross cutting issue and

management concern at most World Heritage

sites.

Studies in this field have however shown that

most site managers and key actors in the field lack

understanding and knowledge on how best to

promote sustainable tourism. In order to improve

this, the WHC has initiated a process of capacity

development targeting five countries in Africa

(South Africa, Lesotho, Zambia, Zimbabwe and

Tanzania) to help site managers, communities and

local tourism entities and other stakeholders to

identify the most suitable solutions for their local

circumstances and develop a sense on how to

structure management of destination. In Tanzania

the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) was

chosen to benefit from this programme funded by

the Government of Flanders and the Iris

foundation.

The Outstanding Universal Value of the NCA

Conservation Area are the three spectacular

volcanic craters: the world famous Ngorongoro

Crater, the largest unbroken and unflooded

caldera in the world; Olmoti crater, famous for its

stunning waterfalls; and the Empakati crater,

holding a deep lake and lush green walls; the

Oldupai Gorge and Laetoli, where discoveries of

remains and footprints of early humans were

made; the huge expanses of the savannah, forest

and bush land; and the only place on earth where

mankind, the Maasai, and wild animals live

together in harmony.

The capacity development programme is being

implemented in phases and the first initiation

workshop took place in Karatu in March 2015,

where around 30 participants representing hotels,

tourism boards, training institutions, government

and conservation entities , communities and NCA

managers gathered together to start the process

which will result in the development of a

sustainable tourism strategy within the next six

months. The exercise is based on a series of

guides that can be found at the following link:

Community Media Assisting

Government of Tanzania to Fight

Ebola and Strengthen Public

Health

UNESCO Dar es Salaam, in collaboration with the

One UN System, has partnered with the

Government of Tanzania to strengthen the role of

local media in promoting public health and

preventing the spread of communicable diseases

in rural Tanzania.

Bolstering the UN’s broader efforts to fight Ebola

in the region, UNESCO Dar es Salaam joined the

National Ebola Preparedness Task Force in

Tanzania by building capacities of 28 local radios

across the country’s Mainland and in Zanzibar to

enhance community awareness and resilience to a

potential outbreak. Stations participating in related

trainings agreed to provide free airtime and

localized broadcasting, enabling savings of over

USD 42,000 for the National Prevention

campaign. As an official of the Ministry of Health

and Social Welfare reiterated, “We are very

pleased to extend this partnership to include local

radios, important vehicles for strengthening our

outreach to communities.”

This approach has broadened Ministry’s of Health

public outreach against other communicable

diseases and has now being applied in the combat

of recent occurrences of cholera in the Kigoma

and Kasulu regions. As an official of the World

Health Organization observed, “The role of

community radio is great… The Regional Medical

Officers and the District Medical Officers have

news for people to consume…They need the

community radios to educate the community to

prevent further spread.”

These efforts have been grounded in UNESCO’s

support for the growth and development of the

Community Media Network of Tanzania

(COMNETA) over the last decade, enhancing the

role of local media as a vehicle for sustainable

development. Building on results achieved,

UNESCO has facilitated partnerships between

COMNETA and the Disaster Management

Department for the integration of local radios in

national communications strategies for emergency

preparedness. These partnerships will continue to

strengthen collaboration with national and local

government for the provision of accurate,

culturally-appropriate, and continuous information

and knowledge for the promotion of development

and community wellbeing in Tanzania. The

UNESCO current support to Community Radios is

made feasible through the financial support of

SIDA.

2015 World Radio Day Celebrations

UNESCO Dar es Salaam, in collaboration with the

One UN and media stakeholders in Tanzania,

coordinates yearly commemorations of World

Radio Day every 13 February — celebrating radio

as a medium to promote access to information, and

free, independent and pluralistic media.

Around this year’s theme of Youth and Radio,

media leaders and young broadcasters came

together to discuss key issues and actions for

harnessing the power of radio for youth inclusive

participation and civic engagement. Media veterans

and youth community radio practitioners alike

shared best practices and key recommendations for

amplifying youth voices, including on how radio

can be used to enhance youth participation in

national development and democratic processes.

Radio is considered the most accessible media

medium, especially amongst disadvantaged groups.

Radio serves a platform for young men and women

to express themselves and develop skills and

knowledge, which is especially important in Africa

where 69% of the population is under the age of 30.

However, as UNESCO’s Director-General Irina

Bokova emphasized in her statement, youth are still

underrepresented in the media, and there are not

enough programmes produced by and aimed at the

younger generation.

In Tanzania, UNESCO develops capacity of young

radio practitioners to produce professional, ethical,

and gender responsive programmes for, by, and

about their communities and issues of concern. This

is part of UNESCO’s broader efforts to support

young citizen journalists and freelancers around the

world, including for ensuring their safety when

working in the field. In the last two years, 65 radio

journalists have been killed globally, almost half of

them under the age of 30.

The event was attended by over 50 representatives

of the media and broadcasting community, the

majority of whom were community radio

practitioners under the age of 30.

In recognition of the excellent work being done by

community radios in Tanzania, two representatives

of Tanzanian community radios attended the global

celebrations of the World Radio Day at UNESCO

Headquarters in Paris.

Media veterans and youth broadcasters come together at World Radio Day to

discuss how to empower the youth in Tanzania through radio

Young reporters also shared ideas and challenges for promoting

gender equality in local radio broadcasting

UNESCO Leads Joint UN Efforts in

Support of People with Albinism

In January 2015 the United Nations Country Management

Team, consisting of heads of agencies gave UNESCO, and

UNESCO’s Representative in Tanzania, a lead role in

coordinating the joint UN intervention in support of people with

albinism. The joint UN intervention seeks to combat the attacks,

discrimination and stigma, as well as diverse health risks that

people with Albinism face within and around Tanzania.

An Important Initiative

A joint approach gives the UN an opportunity to pool

resources, avoid duplication, and together deliver

results that will improve the lives of people with

albinism (PWA) in Tanzania.

In Tanzania, persons with albinism face severe

discrimination, physical assaults and encounter

difficulties in living a life of dignity. A large number

of attacks, often motivated by the use of body parts

for ritual purposes, have claimed the lives of at least

73 people with albinism since 2000. These attacks

continue to be accompanied by a high degree of

impunity, and while Tanzania has made efforts to

combat the problem, much more must be done to

protect this vulnerable segment of the population,

and end these heinous crimes.

Public awareness on the discrimination of people

with albinism - both in Tanzania, Africa and the rest

of the world - has gathered pace. However, despite

the growing antagonism against the horrendous acts,

the attacks have continued to happen and are

expected to increase in moving towards the general

elections in 2015.

What is the UN Doing?

In essence, the Joint UN Initiative works on three

tracks:

(1) Improving the support to the children with albinism in the shelter canters

(2) Promote public awareness to reduce stigma and discrimination

(3) Promote behavior change towards PWA in the most affected areas.

Firstly, the immediate wellbeing of children with

Albinism will be addressed through interventions

aiming at improving their living conditions,

providing them with better facilities and necessary

protection.

Secondly, public awareness will be promoted by

teaming up with leading media outlets and

community radios, combined with photo exhibits,

films broadcasting and live concerts. Through role

model advocacy and scientific information we will

address and contend the myths and prejudices related

to Albinism, while bringing up a positive note to

reduce stigma and improve general public

information on PWA.

Thirdly, through dialogue with opinion leaders at

local and national level, bring about a bottom up

approach for acceptance, care and protection of

PWA. We aim also to develop a long-term strategy

for the reintegration of people with albinism into

their families and communities.

Further, at the international level, the aims is to build

up a trans-boundary coalition to deal with the cross

border trafficking of PWA or their body parts.

For this Joint UN Initiative to be successful,

UNESCO is engaging international and national

partners from Media outlets, NGOs, as well as in the

public and private sectors.

Exploring Innovative ICT Approaches for

Development: The UNESCO – Samsung

Digital Village, a Multi-Sectorial and

Multi-Partnership Programme for the

Maasai Communities

After a preparation period of 6 months, the five

trucks with the Digital School, Digital Health Clinic

and the solar powered generator have finally arrived

in Ololosokwan on the 15th March 2015.

Ololosokwan is a remote Maasai village in the

outskirts of the Serengeti World Heritage Park and

Man and Biosphere Reserve in Ngorongoro District,

Arusha Region, Tanzania, home of Maasai people,

one of the pastoralists tribes of East Africa.

The programme is not only making use of top of the

line ICTs for the development of models for

improved service delivery in education and health to

remote populations; it is also unique in itself as it is

the first UNESCO/Samsung Digital Village in the

African continent.

In addition it is the first intervention where UNESCO

Dar Es Salaam will adopt a systematic and

consistent multi-sectorial approach engaging all its

domains of competencies of Education, Culture,

Sciences and Communication to enhance local

sustainable development. Partnerships with WHO,

UNWOMEN, Ministries of Education and Health,

district and local authorities, private sector

companies from the telecom business and high end

hotel chains, community leaders and authorities are

being forged to bring this ambitious programme to

fruition.

As part of the inception phase, UNESCO and

its partners engaged the community in a partici-

patory planning process using a bottleneck anal-

ysis approach. For most of the local communi-

ty, district officials as well as health care pro-

viders and teachers, it was their first experience

in planning. The approach used proved that en-
