U.S. Embassy provides BAKWATA with TSH 38 Million to Implement Civic and Voter Education Programs in Lindi Region
July 29, 2009
U.S. Chargé d'Affaires Larry André last week inaugurated a U.S. Democracy and Human Rights project that provides Civic and Voter Education to the people of Lindi Region. This grant provided TSH 38 million to the National Muslim Council of Tanzania (BAKWATA) to implement this community education program. During the event, Chargé d'Affaires André noted, "All citizens, regardless of race, tribe, or religion, enjoy equal legal and civil rights. All Tanzanians have the right to insist that their government is accountable and responsive to the needs of the people."
BAKWATA has held training seminars for community leaders and residents using the United Nations Development Program curriculum for Civic and Voter Education. Over the past year, citizens trained through the program have taken the curriculum throughout the Kilwa District. They have held civic education seminars in the Muslim community and collaborated with Ward Executive officers to reach Kilwa's non-Muslim citizens.
Each year, the U.S. Embassy's Community Grants Program directly provides money to community groups whose projects aid their local town or village. These grants come directly from the American People to the Tanzanian People. The Voter Education project launched on July 22 is part of the U.S. Government's overall direct and multilateral assistance to Tanzania of more than TSH 750 billion in fiscal year 2009.

Dar es Salaam. The Muslim Council of Tanzania (Bakwata) has urged bishops to show tolerance for the Head of State, who is a muslim.
In a statement issued yesterday by the chief Sheikh, Mufti Issa Shaaban bin Simba, the council urged bishops and other Christian clerics to emulate Muslims who have been patient whenever the country has been under the stewardship of non-Muslims.

"Muslims in the country had been tolerant when the country was under the leadership of a person who is not a Muslim... We have tolerated a lot of things, even when Christians have been allowed to join other organisations around the world," said the chief Sheikh.
"But bishops have been against the decision to establish Kadhi courts or joining the Organisation of the Islamic Conference despite the fact that we have the Vatican and Italian ambassadors in the country for the benefit of Christians," he pointed out. (
