II:         MIKUTANO YA HADHARA KWA WANANCHI

Katika mpango kazi wa mradii kulikuwa na shughuli ya kufanya mikutano ya hadhara katika kata za mradi yenye lengo la kuwahamasisha wananchi kutumia mabaraza ya usuluhishi ngazi ya vijiji na kata katika kutatua migogoro miongoni mwao. Hii ilifanywa kwa imani kwamba baada ya wajumbe wa mabaraza ya usuluhishi ngazi ya vijiji na kata kupata mafunzo na kuelewa wajibu na majukumu yao wataweza kutoa huduma bora kwa wananchi hivyo wananchi hawa waambiwe juu ya jambo hili ili wasiendelee kufuata huduma hizo polisi na mahakamani ambako ni sehemu iliyombali na makazi ya wananchi waliowengi jambo ambalo linawachukulia muda   mwingi ambao wangetumia   katika shughuli za uzalishaji mali.

Mkutano wa hadhara kwa wananchi wa kata ya Mbomole ulifanyika katika Kijiji cha Sakale ambapo wananchi wa kata hiyo walipewa ufafanuzi mbalimbali kuhusu kazi za mabaraza ya usuluhishi ngazi ya vijiji na kata yanavyopaswa kufanyakazi zake, umuhimu na faida za kutumia mabaraza haya katika kutatua migogoro mbalimbali katika jamii. Aidha walifahamishwa kwamba mabaraza ya usuluhishi ngazi ya vijiji na kata yao ya Mbomole wamepewa mafunzo juu ya wajibu na majukumu yao katika kutoa huduma ya usuluhishi na utatuzi ambayo inajitokeza katika jamii.Aidha wananchi kupitia mkutano huu walipata ufafanuzi kuhusu ugonjwa wa UKIMWI ambapo mshauri nasaha na muuguzi kutoka katika hospitali   Teule ya Wilaya ya Muheza aliwaeleza wananchi mambo mbalimbali kuhusu UKIMWI.

1. UKIMWI ni ugonjwa gani, unapatikana kwa namna gani, namna ya kujikinga na kujihadhari na ugonjwa wa UKIMWI, umuhimu wa   kutumia kinga, faida za kupima afya na kutumia dawa za kufubaza ugonjwa huu. Na pia hasara na madhara yatokanayo na ugonjwa huu kwa Taifa na mwisho   aliwahamasisha wananchi kujitokeza   kwa wingi katika vituo vya Afya na hospitalini kupima ili kujua afya zao. Mkutano   huu ulifanyika tarehe 9/03/2013.

Mkutano wa aina hii ulifanyika katika Kata ya Amani tarehe 10/3/2013 ambapo wananchi wa kata hii walikusanyika katika Kijiji cha Mlesa kwa ajili ya mkutano ambao maudhui yake ilikuwa kuwahimiza kutumia mabaraza ya usuluhishi ngazi ya vijiji na kata ili kupata suluhu ya migogoro inayojitokeza miongoni mwao.

Hivyo kilichofanyika katika kata ya Mbomole ndicho kilifanyika katika kata ya Amani. Aidha kupitia mikutano hii Sakale Development Foundation waligawa vipeperushi mbalimbali vyenye ufafanuzi mbalimbali kuhusu maswala ya sheria, utawala bora, ugonjwa wa kifua kikuu na UKIMWI.

Kutokana na mvua kubwa kunyesha katika Tarafa ya Amani mkutano wa hadhara uliopangwa kufanyika tarehe 11/3/2013 katika Kata ya Kisiwani uliahirishwa.Lakini ulikuja kufanyika tarehe 13/32013 siku ambayo katika ratiba ya awali ilikuwa ndio siku ya mwisho ya kufanya mikutano na wananchi. Katika mkutano huu, pia ilifanyika kama ilivyofanyika kata zilizotangulia.

Tarehe 14/3/2013 mkutano wa hadhara ulifanyika katika kata za Misalai katika kijiji cha Mgambo na hoja zilikuwa ni zilezile zilizojadiliwa katika mikutano ya kata za Mbomole, Amani na Kisiwani.

Tarehe 17/3/2013 mkutano wa hadhara ulifanyika katika kata za Zirai ambapo makutano yalikuwa katika Kijiji cha Vungwe.   Kama ilivyokuwa ikifanyika kata zilizotangulia na hapa ilifanyika hivyohivyo. Huu ulikuwa ndio mkutano wa mwisho wa hadhara na wananchi.

 Baadhi ya wananchi walioshiriki mkutano wa hadhara

 UFUATILIAJI   NA TATHIMINI

Shughuli hii ililenga katika kuona ufanisi wa shughuli na matokeo mazuri ya mradi huu, hapa tuliangalia kama shughuli zinaenda   kwa kadri ya mpango uliowekwa.

Taarifa ya ufuatiliaji na tathmini itaonesha hali ilivyo katika eneo hili. Kwani kulifanyika ufuatiliaji wa marakwa mara baada   ya mafunzo na kisha ufuatiliaji baada ya mikutano ya hadhara na wananchi.

MAFANIKIO YALIYOFIKIWA

-          Mradi umefanikiwa kuwapatia mafunzo wajumbe wote 115 wa mabaraza ya usuluhishi ngazi ya vijiji na Kata wa kutoka kata za Mbomole, Amani, Zirai, Kisiwani na Misalai Wilayani Muheza.

-          Mradi umefanikiwa kununua na kugawa nakala 115 za miongozo ya utendaji kazi wa mabaraza.

-          Mradi umefanikiwa kufanya mikutano ya hadhara mitano katika kata zote 5 za mradi (kila kata mkutano mmoja).

-          Mradi umefanikiwa kuyatembelea na kuona utendaji kazi wa mabaraza ya usuluhishi katika kata.

-          Mradi umefanikiwa pia kutoa elimu juu ya UKIMWI kwa wajumbe na wananchi wa kata za mradi.

Mafanikio mengine ni pamoja na ushirikiano na wadau wengine katika kufanikisha shughuli za mradi huu, ambapo asasi ilishirikiana na wadau wafuatao;-

1. Maafisa watendaji kata wa kutokakata za mradi ambao kazi yao kubwa ilikuwa ni kutupatia orodha sahihi za wajumbe wa mabaraza ya usuluhishi ngazi ya vijiji na Kata.
2. Viongozi wa dini wa kutoka katika kata za mradi ambao shughuli yao kubwa ilikuwa ni kushawishi na kuhamasisha waumini wao kutumia mabaraza ya usuluhishi wakati wa kutatua migogoro baina yao ili kudumisha amani na utulivu katika maeneo yao.
3. Vyombo vya habari kama magazeti ya majira, mwananchi na ITV kwa

kutangazana kuandika habari juu ya mradi huu.

1. Idadi ya mashauri yanayofunguliwa katika mabaraza ya usuluhishii ngazi ya vijiji na kata imeongezeka kutoka mashauri 547 ya mwaka 2012 hadi mashauri 1,863 ya mwaka 2013 hii inathibitisha kwamba wananchi wameona umuhimu na faida za kutumia mabaraza ya usuluhishi ngazi ya vijiji na kata.

CHANGAMOTO

Wakati wa utekelezaji mradi huu kulikuwa/jitokeza changamoto mbalimbali kama zifuatazo;-

1. Madiwaniwa kutoka kata za mradi walihitaji kuhakikishiwa posho, malipo ya ushiriki wao katika kushiriki uzinduzi wa shughuli za mradi, wakati asasi ilikuwa haina bajeti juu ya Madiwani hao.
2. Kupanda kwa gharama za bei ya vyumba vya kulala washiriki wa mafunzo kutoka Tshs. 10,000/= tuliyokuwa tumepanga katika bajeti yetu hadi Tshs. 12,000/=.
3. Hali ya hewa/mvua kubwa kunyesha katika maeneo ya mradi wakati wa kuendesha mikutano ya hadhara kwa wanavijiji.

NAMNA TULIVYOKABILI CHANGAMOTO

Changamoto namba 1, tuliwafahamisha Madiwani kwamba hakukuwa na fungu la kuwahudumia wao na kwamba asasi imefanya kazi ambayo ilipaswa kufanywa na Halmashauri ambayo wao ndio wahusika, kwa kuwa wanadai hawana fedha asasi inawasaidia kwa hiyo wanapaswa kushukuru na kushiriki bila kinyongo wala kudai malipo. Madiwani hawakushiriki katika uzinduzi wa mradi kwa kuambiwa ukweli huo.

Changamoto No.2, kutokana na hali hiyo asasi iliamua kumpatia kila mshiriki malipo kwa mujibu wa bajeti iliyokuwepo ili ajitafutie mwenyewe mahala pa kulala badala ya asasi kulipa moja kwa moja katika nyumba ya wageni/ Guest.

Changamoto No.3, ililazimisha Asasi kuendesha mikutano bila ya kuzingatia ratiba iliyopangwa awali na hivyo kufanikisha mikutano yote kufanyika.

HITIMISHO.

Kupitia utekelezaji wa mradi huu Sakale Development Foundation imejifunza mambo mbalimbali kutoka kwa wananchi lakini pia kutoka kwa watu wenye dhamana ya uongozi na utendaji katika mamlaka ya chini na kati katika eneo la mradi kwa maana ya vijiji, Kata, Tarafa na Wilaya.

Kwa kiasi fulani zipo mamlaka nyingine zinatumia vibaya mamlaka yake mfano Maafisa watendaji wa kata wamekuwa wakitumia nafasi zao katika kuingilia utendaji kazi wa mabaraza ya usuluhishi jambo ambalo lilikuwa linadhoofisha mamlaka na uwezo wa kiutendaji wa chombo hiki muhimu.

Tunategemea baada ya mradi huu kutekelezwa na wakati wa ufuatiliaji tumeona tabia ya Maafisa Watendaji kata kwa sasa imebadilika na kuyaacha huru mabaraza ya usuluhishi, tunaamini hali hiyo ikiendelea kuwa hivyo mabaraza ya usuluhishi yataendelea kuwa kimbilio la wanyonge katika kutatua migogoro miongoni mwa jamii.

Aidha tunalishukuru Shirika la The Foundation for Civil Society kwa kuufadhili mradi huu muhimu ambao umesaidia na utaendelea kuisaidia jamii katika kipindi kirefu mbele.

-         Forest and bee department of Muheza district for tirelessly consultations from our youths

-         Muheza district council which gave 100 bee hives as their mutual support to join hands with the youths

 LESSON LEARNT

We as SADEF through the implementation of this project we have learned various matters from the youths and society as whole. The lessons we have learnt were;

-          there is the number of opportunities out there ( in our society ) but most of us either by knowing or by being lazy in thinking fall to discover/ recognize and utilize them for our betterment and community as whole.

-          It is higher time now for our leaders and community as whole to recognize that problems are important part towards attainment of development so long as we have working on them to find better solutions, here we should take/ consider problems as opportunity

CHALLENGES

-         Poor infrastructure (roads), during monitoring and evaluation , poor infrastructure posed a threat for us to reach some area where beekeeping was taking place.

-         Presence of few SACCOS (financial institutions) in the area of project delayed the acquirements of loan to youth at Mbomole ward

-         Difficult terms and condition applied for acquiring loan contributed to delays in buying beehives and other equipment

-         Shortage of beekeeping uniforms hindered practical training, only few trainers had uniforms

CONCLUSION

SADEF calls for government, NGOs and Intellectuals to work on changing people’s mindset towards life challenges (problems) and that people should take their problems as an important part in bringing economic, social, cultural and political changes.

This project gained much support from the community of Amani division; this is due to the fact that there is shortage of land for agricultural activities at Amani because a large part of the land is being preserved as “natural reserve” and presence of big plantation of tea. Therefore we believe, by cooperating with society other stakeholders we will continue promoting the society to work hard.
