He noted that all the projects that he
visited in the region were implemented appropriately and according to
the intended purposes.
He made the remarks when he paid a
courtesy visit to Upendo Poultry Keeping Centre at Puma village in
Ikungi district which is being run by a group of People Living with
AIDS, a beekeeping farm at Kisaki area and the cholera combating camp at
Mandewa area in Singida municipality.
Speaking at the project sites, Mr
Rodriguez commended the community for their dedication and for taking
ownership of the projects; noting that the measure would ensure the
sustainability of the projects.
“I also congratulate the government for
promoting a conducive environment for the sustainable development and
for the achievement made so far. Sustainable development always involves
the government and the communities addressing multiple challenges faced
by citizens”, he said.
Singida Regional Commissioner, Dr
Parseko Kone, assured the UN envoy that the regional leadership will
continue promoting sustainable development for the projects so that it
can benefit the surrounding community.
“Thousands of Singida residents have
benefited from the UN supported projects. I kindly ask for further UN
support as the new Sustainable Goals are introduced and UNDAP II starts
mid next year together with the Five Development Plan,” Dr Kone pleaded
with the UN envoy.
For the last five years, UN agencies
have been undertaking various activities to help the people of Tanzania
through the support of the UNDAP 2011- 2016.
The projects are jointly funded by the
Organization of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the
World Health Organization (WHO), the International Labour Organisation
(ILO) and the United Nations Aids (UNAIDS).
