Legal reforms have made some headway, but the problem is implementation. Government leaders and elites are divorced from the real lives of their constituents, and the same can be said of many non-governmental organisations whose work is often poorly coordinated, governed by short-term goals and shifting donor requirements. The media landscape faces constraints through consolidation of media ownership and control over editors, and state broadcasters are yet to transform themselves into public broadcasters. Missing, across East Africa, are the long-term strategies necessary for producing real change and the reflective, learning-oriented practices that can generate lessons about what works and what doesn’t.
Kwa hiyo hatuna mpango wa kuanzisha miradi mingi ya Twaweza. Badala yake tutafanya kazi kupitia mitandao mikubwa na asasi pana ambazo tayari zinawasiliana na wananchi na zinagusa maisha yao, kama vile vyombo vya habari, simu za mkononi, mashirika ya dini na mitandao ya usambazaji bidhaa za biashara za rejareja.Tutasaidia kuimarisha ubia wenye manufaa maradufu, kwa kuinufaisha jamii husika huku kila mbia naye akijisaidia kile ambacho ni ada yake. Na kwa kuwaunganisha wabia ambao kwa kawaida labda wasingeshirikiana –kama vile vyama vya walimu na makanisa au makampuni ya simu za mkononi—tunatajia kubadilisha mazingira ya kiutendaji katika ngazi za msingi. Soma zaidi na uone vigezo vyetu vya ubia.
