In collaboration with the Tanzanian Department of Social Welfare (DSW), the Tanzanian Institute of Social Work and the Jane Addams College of Social Work, the Capacity Project helped to organize and facilitate a meeting to present the DSW’s human resources strategy and workforce development plan to key stakeholders.

The meeting took place on April 8 in Dar es Salaam and provided an opportunity for the Capacity Project’s Laura Guyer-Miller and Prosper Msuya to highlight the impact of the Project’s Most Vulnerable Children program, which seeks to train, deploy and sustain the performance of parasocial workers, a new cadre of health worker, for the provision of social welfare services for vulnerable children.

The Project will continue working with the DSW to ensure that its programmatic activities align with the overarching HR strategy and goals.
