We are very excited about extending DVP to a no fewer than three new regions in the next 3 months.
In June we will be in Mororgoro and Tanga, and in July will move to the very far south east of Tanzania to Lindi Region.
The Lindi project has been made possible by an introduction to the area through Songas, who pipe natural gas from offshore to a major power station in Dar es Salaam. We are particularly pleased to be working with Songas due to their strong commitment to community relations over many years in the area.
CEO Mark Topley recently met with Malcom Taylor and Nic Chipakapaka from Songas to finalise the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) which covers the partnership.
As well as technical assistance, Songas will donate $12,000 towards the cost of the programme.
We are hopeful of a very positive outcome from the training, and relationships with the Kilwa District that we work in are already very good.
