to 22nd April 2016) course on 'Power and Voice' at MSTCD in Aursha-Tanzania.
The
course provided the staff with understanding of power dynamics, and
how this influences decision making processes; provided tools and
skills used in facilitating communities to effectively engage with power structures
and to improve the quality, equity and gender responsiveness of public
services.

The facilitators stressed that one’s voice is meaningless
unless you’re heard; one’s voice is the most powerful tool that one possesses, and that power is not realized in a vacuum but in the presence of others.
Human rights
violation is an indication of luck of good governance and the exercise
of authority which includes adherence to basic democratic principles.
At the end of the training the participants attained principles and praxis of facilitating communities in actions and engagements that entail dealing with power and voice relations in demand for good governance, respect for human rights and better service delivery.
