Hamadi and Edgar met with UNEP on Friday by chance.
Tanga
Elaine, Filbert, Hamadi and Edgar met with Uli Malsius on Friday. He said that Mejah
and Dominata spoke well at the workshop in Tanga. He said it is good if UWABATAN
follow up with the municipality of Tanga about the cycle lanes which they planned for
after the workshop. He also told us about a funding opportunity for NGOS working on
urban environmental issues which will start next year.
On the issue of UWABATAN registration, the Tanga NGO office said they sent the CVs
and passport photos to the Dar es Salaam NGOs office but the Dar es Salaam NGOs
office said they did not receive them. Therefore UWABATAN will send them to
UWABA so we can follow up with all the documents.
