As part of our graduate degree, we need to conduct a consultancy project with a client, and that’s how we met HOT and their amazing team. They were interested in having us evaluate the implementation of community mapping in Dar es Salaam, how those maps are being used by the different stakeholders and to assess the sustainability of the project.
Kama sehemu yataaluma yetu, tunahitaji kufanya ushauri wa mradi na mteja, na vilevile kukutana na timu yao ya maajabu ya HOT. Walikuwa nia ya kuwa na sisi katika kutathmini utekelezaji wa ramani ya jamii jijini Dar es Salaam, na jinsi ramani zinatumiwa na wadau mbalimbali na kutathmini uendelevu wa mradi.Hivyo basi, sisi tuliamua kuwa kunauhitaji wa kuzungumza na wale ambao walikuwa walengwa na watumiaji wakuu wa ramani katika mradi; Maafisa kata, ambao wawakilishi wa serikali za mitaa kwa ajili ya mitaa au kata.
