The Tushirikishe Jamii Project is funded by the European Commission through the Ministry of Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs. The project seeks to tackle poor governance and corruption especially in the management of devolved funds at the constituency level which continues to deny marginalized people much-needed development opportunities and realization of their human rights. Young people from low income and slum communities are especially vulnerable as they are passed negatively by society and rarely participate in development initiatives.
It is hoped that this information will be used as a resource for Forum Syd and key stakeholders and will be replicated in other areas. The film will be used to disseminate the project’s methodologies, concepts and key successes to the larger public. The documentary will be in English and Kiswahili languages.
