  1. Education and human resource development would fit under the Social Development aspect of Tanzania’s national growth and reduction of poverty strategy (also known as MKUKUTA, now MKUKUTA II).

    Where are we at with this strategy? See one organization that is following up on MKUKUTA here.

  2. Modesta covered all the aspects of life that directly affect the TZ youths. Please, do share this talk with your friends.

    @ Anonymous: Well, well, well, it’s time for them to wake up and smell the coffee.

    Thank you for sharing the article, by the way.

  3. I have never been more proud of being a Tanzanian than today…. You are definitely my role model Modesta! Wish there were more figures like you around.

    Keep up with the great work.
