Capacity building: Growing THCDI to become a mature NGO that in a sustainable way can fulfil its objectives to the benefit of the people in Tanzania

This has been a group of different professionals who have helped each other to do voluntary work in connection with Better Vision for Africa. The group has functioned as an unofficial network and has been meeting online for the past year. BSTA met the main members of the NGO working with charity in Tanzania, in these projects it became evident that there is a huge need and that the board members are highly motivated to make a difference. This motivation led to the idea to create an NGO, the members of the board to in a number of meetings codevelop the constitution. BVTA is not directly involved but supports as advisor when needed. In the first phase the focus will be on better vision as this is the current core competence build in experience. It is evident that the set-up can be enlarged to cope with other urgent local needs within SDG 3 Good health and well-being. The partnerships and the standard processes will be matured in correspondence with SDG 17. In the next phase after the capacity have been build it would be natural to move on with SDG4, SDG5 and SDG8. It will be enforced by including specific goals to support the SDG’s in the standard work for new partnerships and projects
