Though young people aged 10-29 years constitute a large portion of the population in East Africa, their perspective is often absent in mainstream discourse. In 2010 Twaweza supported the youth focused organization Tamasha to undertake in depth monitoring in 32 communities in 8 districts in Tanzania. In each community one male-one female pair of young people were involved in monitoring actual service delivery and treatment of youth over a minimum period of one week, including through the use of ‘dummy patient’ technique.
Marion Bowman, mkurugenzi wa one-world-media, anaandika kuwa uwazi ndio mustakabali wa tasnia ya maendeleo akinukuu sera ya Twaweza kama alivyoiwasilishwa Rakesh Rajani kwenye sherehe ya miaka 50 ya Taasisi ya Misaada ya Kimataifa ya Uingereza. Madeleine Bunting wa gazeti la Guardian la Uingereza anaunga mkono hoja hiyo akiandika kwenye blogu yake-na kumnukuu pia Rakesh- kuwa inapaswa raia wawezeshwe kufuatiliwa wao wenyewe ufanisi wa misaada.
