Network operations report March 07

Dar Network Operations Report March 07

 

 

This is a report from Tim on how the network has been operating in the month of March 2007.

 

 

 

Officer Activities

The full list of all officers’ activities is available for you to see in English on the web site. Please remember that this information on officers’ activities is based on reporting that we receive in

London

from the officers themselves.  The most important thing we do not know is how much time each activity is taking the officers – we estimate in

London

, and we rely on the officers to tell us whether these estimates are correct.

 

Key measures of officers’ contributions during March 2007

 

Donatian had 8 tasks. He did 6 on time, 1 late and gave up 1. Congratulations, Donatian! Our records for the month of March estimate that the jobs he did took nearly 5 hours on network business (excluding use of email, phone calls with London, and training groups in email use).

 

Furaha had 13 tasks. He did 7 late, and gave up 5. One (to make sure that members receive handouts for the network meeting on 31 March) is outstanding. Our records for the month of March estimate that the jobs he did (excluding phone calls with

London

and internet time) took about 3 hours. Congratulations, Furaha! This is a big improvement over February, and we are confident that Furaha will emerge as a really effective chairman for the network.

 

Pascal had 13 tasks. He completed one on time, 5 late, gave up 5, and has two more outstanding (to correct problems with Yopac exchange visits in February, and to make sure members receive an attendance sheet at the 31 March meeting that includes the dates of all future network meetings). Our records for the month of March estimate that the jobs he did (excluding phone calls and emails with

London

) took about 2 hours.

 

Yovita had 13 tasks. She completed 6 on time, gave up 5, and has two outstanding (to respond to some questions about the accounts for January and February, and to send copy bank statements for the past two months to

London

). Our records for the month of March estimate that the jobs she did (excluding email and phone calls with

London

) took nearly 4 hours.

 

 

Accounts

We would like to encourage a spirit of transparency in which all the members know how the network’s money is being spent and everyone can be confident that the money is not being wasted but is being used in the best possible way to help orphans and vulnerable children.

 

Last month we reported that we hoped to publish the detailed accounts of the network on the web site, but had not been able to do so because we had not received accounts from Yovita.

 

This month we have received accounts for January and February, and they will be published on our web site by the time of the meeting. Thank you, Yovita! We have sent some questions to Yovita about the accounts and are waiting for her replies. We suggest that the network’s account books should be brought to the network meetings each month, so that members are welcome to look at the books if they want to. (The information on the web site should be exactly the same, so you can see the same information by visiting any Internet café.)

 

We believe that the officers’ personal expenses are a particularly important part of transparency. Donatian’s personal expenses have been submitted and are are published on the web site. Because we have not received officers’ expense claims for the officers, we propose that they should receive a flat amount of 10,000 shillings each for the months of January and February so that the accounts for these months can be closed. In future, to receive any payments, officers should submit detailed expense claims.

 

 

Important issues

 

Conference room for meetings

We learned earlier this week that there was a misunderstanding with CARE about the conference room. The Care staff claimed that the network did not ask to reserve the conference room until Monday of this week, and by then it was too late because another group had booked it. We had suggested to the officers in January that they send Care a list of all the dates for the whole year, but the Care people say they did not receive it. I have sent the list of dates for the rest of the year to Care, and have asked them to confirm by email.

 

Bank statements

In any organization, one of the most important protections against theft is to make sure that the money you have in the bank matches the money that you think you have in the bank.

 

It is standard practice in most NGOs to ‘reconcile’ the accounts against bank statements each month. To make this reconciliation more transparent, we have suggested that the bank should send a copy of the monthly statement directly to us in

London

, and we will then publish it on the web site so that all members can see how much money is in the bank.

 

To do this, the bank has asked for a resolution from the network requesting them. We have sent the text of the resolution to

Dar es Salaam

, and we would like this resolution to be signed at the meeting on 31 March so that we can start receiving and publishing the statements.

 

 

Other issues

 

Shared Grants Program

Last month we reported that two proposals had been received for shared grants. One is from Yopac, Chiyowonet and Tupendane women group, to hold three forums where 100 children each time can do drawings and paintings and adults will be mobilized to support them. The other is from Chimaba, Nice and Wolisu, to help orphans obtain their birth certificates. Since we reported last month, more detail has been given on the Chimaba/Nice/Wolisu proposal. We are now happy to approve both of the two grant applications. Yopac/Chiyowonet/Tupendane asked for 599,700 shillings, and Chimaba/Nice/Wolisu for 500,000. We hope that the two teams of groups will report back to members how they have used the money over the coming months.

 

 

Awards for best learning from exchange visits

Chimaba Sana sent a report to us in

London

by email about the exchange visits they carried out and what they learned from them. The most interesting thing about the reports was that in addition to the visits that the network paid them for, they also carried out extra visits by themselves. The prize for this report is a Swahili clock. Unfortunately there has been a problem with the clocks! We ordered them sent by mail to

Tanzania

on January 22nd, but they were lost or stolen in transit. Then we ordered them again on March 5th, but it has not arrived yet. We hope that the clocks will arrive by next month.

 

 

Award for best report/planning document

We have proposed a prize for the group that puts in the best annual report for 2006 or planning document for 2007. Reports should be either in Kiswahili or both Kiswahili and English, but not in English only. This is to remind you that reports aren’t just for sending to donors in other countries; they are also for your local community. If you have a report in Kiswahili, this will encourage local people to help your group and give you money. So far, we have received reports in English from Siyope, CWCA and Pofideso, and we understand that Charles Kamugisha has offered to help SOCAC produce a report. If you are someone who is good at using a computer, please remember that we are also  offering a payment if you help another group to produce their report. We would like to give everyone a further month to write a report in Kiswahili before the prize for the best report is awarded.

 

Other awards

A prize of a Swahili clock will also be awarded to one of the members who arrives in good time for the largest number of meetings, and also for the best presentation made at a network meeting. To give out these awards, we rely on the officers to keep good records on attendance expense sheets (the order of names shows who arrived first), and on the members to vote for presentations. Remember that at each meeting after the presentation you should write down your score for the presentation out of 10 for style, for content and for written materials.

Ripoti Ya Mwaka Ya Kutembeleana Baina Ya Chimaba Na Wanamtandao Wa Afconet

RIPOTI YA MWAKA YA KUTEMBELEANA BAINA YA CHIMABA NA WANAMTANDAO WA AFCONET KUANZIA JANUARI 28, 2006.

 

 

 UTANGULIZI.

 

CHIMABA SANAA GROUP ni asasi isiyo ya kiserikali,isiyo ya kidini na wala haifungamani na chama chochote cha kisiasa hapa nchini Tanzania.na zaidi imekuwa ikijishughulisha na utoaji wa saikolojia jamii kwa watoto yatima na wanaoishi katika mazingira magumu,kwa kutumia nyenzo ya sanaa za jukwaani na pia micholo,na walengwa wetu ni wale watoto waliokuwa wakijihusisha na ukahaba,wizi,uchezaji kamari na wale waliotelekezwa na familia zao kutokana na matatizo mbalimbali ya kimaisha.

 

Hivyo baada ya kuona mapungufu ya kina hasa katika kufikia malengo tuliyojiwekea

kama

kikundi CHIMABA iliamua kuomba msaada wa uwezeshwaji kwa Argentarious Foundation-London. Na mbali ya shughuli zinginezo za mradi shughuli mojawapo ilikuwa ni kutembeleana baina ya vikundi wanachama.

 

 LENGO LA JUMLA.

 

Kujifunza na pia kubadilishana uzoefu hasa katika utoaji wa huduma kwa watoto yatima na wanaoishi katika mazingira magumu baina ya vikundi wanachama.

 

 SHUGHULI.

 

-Kutembelea/Kutembelewa na vikundi 6 tofauti kwa mwaka mzima,yani 2 kila baada ya miezi 2.

 

-Kuandika ripoti na kuiwasilisha kwa uongozi wa Afconet hasa baada ya zoezi.

 

 WALENGWA.

 

-Waajiliwa wa kikundi na wale wa kujitolea.

 MAFANIKIO/TULICHOJIFUNZA.

 

-Kimsingi zoezi hili kwa CHIMABA limekuwa la mafanikio makubwa

sana

tofauti na tulivyotazamia hawali,kwani baadhi ya vikundi tulivyoitaji kuvitembelea vilikuwa ni vigeni yani hatukuwa na mahusiano yeyote hapo hawali hasa katika upashanaji wa taarifa.ukizingatia kwamba tunafanya shughuli tofauti baina ya asasi zetu,lakini kazi zote zinalenga kubolesha maisha ya huyu mtoto aneudumiwa.

 

-Pia tuliweza kujifunza mifumo tofauti ya kuongoza vikundi vyetu hasa inapojitokeza kikundi kukosa pesa,hii iliziilika wazi pale tulipowatembelea watu wa RED HOUSE!kwani wao walichokifanya ni kuandaa mfumo wa watoto wenyewe kujipa madaraka katika club zao na pia wamefundishwa namna ya kujiwekea akiba ambazo huwasaidia kufanya mahafari yao ya kila mwisho wa mwezi bila kuitaji fundraising ya aina yeyote.pia wameweza kuanzisha mradi wa ufugaji ambao mapato yake yanaweza kulipia gharama za kikundi kama vile pango kodi ya ofisi na umeme.hivyo kwetu RED HOUSE ni mfano wa kuiga tayari kupitia mfano huo tumeshaweza kuanzisha miradi yetu miwiri ya kujiingizia kipato katika kikundi.(rejea ktk narrative ripoti ya mwaka 2006 ya chimaba tuliyowasilisha Argentarious Foundation-London)

Network operations report February 2007

This is a report from Tim Jackson on how the network has been operating in the month of February 2007.

 

Officer Activities

In their answers to our questionnaire at the end of last year, members expressed some concern about how helpful and effective the officers were. In order to help improve the network this year, the network is keeping more careful records of officer activities. The reason for giving this information to members also is to help members understand the work their officers are doing and how effectively it is carried out.

Utangulizi.

 
Ushauri malezi ni elimu/mafundisho,mtindo wa kimalezi.umjengao kijana au mtoto akue akiwa anaufahamu juu ya mambo ya msingi kwa maendeleo au mafanikio yake.

Lengo ni kujua kuwa vyanzo vya maendeleo kusudi Binadamu aweze kuendelea Kiuchumi,Kijamii,na Kiroho.

Maranyingi tumesimama na kufundisha Vijana au watoto walio katika mazingira magumu kujua haki zao,lakini ni wapi na marangapi tumewakumbusha kuchukua nafasi

yao

kama

Binadamu kamili? wangapi wanajua kuwa kuna haki za walezi na jamii? wanajua kuwa hizo haki wanatakiwa wajipe wenyewe kabla ya kuzidai?

 

Kwaajili ya makosa haya ,vijana na watoto walio na hata wasio katika mazingira magumu wamekuwa wanadai haki zao bila kukumbuka haki za wengine

kama

Wazazi,walezi n.k.

Hii husababisha wakue wakiwa na mitazamo hasi dhidi ya mambo mengi ya msingi na yasiyo na msingi.mf;kupenda na kupendwa,ukamili wa ubinadamu wake,kusamehe na kusamehewa,umaskini na utegemezi.

 

Kusudi tuondoe utegemezi,chuki na uhalifu, na kuweza kujenga dunia ambayo kila mmoja anakubaliwa anapendwa na kuiona kuwa nisehemu bora ya kuishi.

Exchange Visit Guidelines

AfricanCommunities.org

Dar   es Salaam

Network

2007 Grant Program

 

This document explains why exchange visits are important to the network, what makes exchange visits successful, and how to go about doing them and to claim your costs back.

 

Why Exchange Visits Matter

In

Dar es Salaam

, there are dozens or perhaps even hundreds of groups that are helping orphans and vulnerable children affected by HIV. But there is little coordination between them, and as a result lessons that are learned in one group are not always passed on to other groups. Our network aims to help strengthen your groups, and an important way to do this is to help you learn from each other. It is good to meet every month in a conference room, but the best way to learn from other groups is to visit them and see with your own eyes what they do.

 

Payment for Exchange Visits

We appreciate that when you make an exchange visit, members of your group are giving their time. So in 2007, we will pay for the travel costs that you actually spent (bus or dalla-dalla in both directions for the number of people who went), plus TZS14,000 if two or more people go. If three people go, for example, you receive TZS14,000 plus transport costs of all three people. If only one goes, you receive transport costs plus TZS7,000. You are welcome to spend this money on food or anything else. 

 

What Makes Exchange Visits Successful

We learned from 2006 that some things make visits successful:

¶ Enough people from both sides to take part in the conversation.

¶ Enough time to discuss the work you do and to see with your own eyes.

¶ Effort to share the information with the rest of your group when you return home.

¶ A friendly atmosphere in the meeting.

¶ A focus on trying to learn, not just chatting.

¶ Share the visiting. Do not always have the same people act as visitors.

 

How to Arrange An Exchange Visit

The easiest way to arrange a visit is at the monthly network meeting. Talk to people other groups and agree a date and time there. If you cannot do this, then phone the other group and ask them to suggest two or three days/times when it is convenient for them if you come. The group receiving you should have at least two people at talk to you, and should be able to show you their records and if possible you should go at a time when you can observe their activities taking place. After the group has offered you a choice of times, you should talk to your colleagues and call back to accept one of the times.

 

Confirm the Visit and Contact Hosts If You Are Late

¶ The visitors should send a text message the night before to confirm what time they will arrive, and the hosts should reply to confirm that the visit is OK.

¶ It is considerate and polite to be on time and not keep others waiting. If you are delayed, then text or phone immediately to warn the other side that you will be late. Do not wait until the time when the meeting is supposed to start.

 

How to Make the Most of an Exchange Visit

¶ Don’t forget to bring the exchange visit report form.

¶ Bring pens and paper with you.

¶ At the start everyone should introduce themselves. This is important because you have probably seen each other at the network meetings, but maybe forgot some names. Explain your job – eg chairman, treasurer, coordinator, volunteer, secretary.

¶ Write down names on the exchange visit report form, and mobile phone numbers. This will be useful if you want to contact each other after.

¶ It is nice if hosts offer refreshments.

¶ Try to learn about what the other group is doing. See whether your group could adopt any lessons from them.

¶ Try to tell the other group good ideas from your group that you think might be helpful to them.

¶ Make notes during the discussion on the exchange visit report form.

¶ Before you go, ask the hosts to sign the exchange visit report form.

¶ When you go back to your group, hold a meeting and tell them what you learned from the exchange. Discuss what changes you could make in your group.

 

To Get Paid for Your Exchange Visit

¶ Visit new groups, not those that you have already visited in 2006. If you want to visit a group that came to visit you, then please email Tim beforehand (tim@africancommunities.org) and say why you think you will learn more from them than from a group you have not met before.

¶ Don’t have the same person take part in all visits. It is best to share visiting among all the key people in your group. This way the learning will be spread around your group.

¶ Spend at least two hours with the group that you are visiting.

¶ Complete the exchange visit form during the visit, have it signed by the hosts, and bring to the monthly meeting.
