This week in Iringa, CARE Tanzania brought together the Advisory Board Council (Dr. Anthony Mveyange, Dr. Catherine Masao, Mwatima Juma, and Catherinerose Barretto), CARE East and Southern Africa Regional Director (Mr. Walter Mwasaa); The Executive Team, Government staff, and program staff to reflect on progress, share lessons, and discuss the future of our work.
The engagement began with a field visit to the Shamba Darasa Imara na Ustadi project potato demo plot in Lusinga Village, where participants joined community members in harvesting potatoes and shared locally prepared nutritious foods made from soy, including porridge and buns. Later on participants heard firsthand testimonies on how CARE-supported initiatives are improving nutrition, strengthening household decision-making, and creating better economic opportunities for families.
The indoor sessions' discussions that followed focused on reviewing achievements, reflecting on lessons learned, identifying gaps and emerging challenges, and exploring ways to strengthen collaboration and improve impact.
