Since 2005, GNTZ has implemented socio-economic development projects in Dar es Salaam, Bagamoyo, Mwanza, Shinyanga, Dodoma, Mbeya, and Kigoma providing comprehensive support through an inclusive and participative process denominated Community Development Programs (CDPs).

Through Income generation and social economic development program, GNTZ is providing networks for promoting, advocating, conducting and facilitating sustainable agriculture through research, dissemination and application of findings. GNTZ’s goals are to provide appropriate information and guidance to farmers on technologies, innovations and practices that improve sustainable Income in a socially, economically and environmentally friendly manner

The program also will provide skills related to income generation and livelihoods for youth and women including financial literacy, access to financial services (e.g. negotiated interest loans),career pathway development (work readiness),entrepreneurship development, job search support, start-up support, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) for certified professional accreditation, facilitation of apprenticeships for income generation and on-the-job learning, support to savings groups, and support to women-led business hubs. Knowing that Climate Change impacts the poor more than others and that the shifting weather patterns continue to threaten the survival of the very community we are targeting, with reduction in household income and food production, mutually agreed initiatives have been designed and implemented based on availability of funds. Climate Change has been considered a cross-cutting issue and will thus be integrated as much as possible in all other interventions.
