Application Form of MVIWATA (Tanzania )

1	Information on your organisation *Pleaes explain why your organisation is eligible to be a Member Organisation for C-CfA.				(e.g. aim, history, membership, member organisations, activities, network, budget, human resource, etc.)
	MVIWATA is a national organisation in Tanzania operating through networks of grassroots farmer groups. At present it comprises 75 networks bringing together 20,000 men and women farmers and 3,000 individual members. The network structure has been instrumental in ensuring good communication within the organisation and with external partners. There is a secretariat with competent staff under the national coordinator. There are also regional offices in some regions of Tanzania such as Mbeya, Kilimanjaro, Morogoro, Kagera etc.   MVIWATA is eligible to be a member organization for the C-CfA because it has a better coverage of Tanzanian National NGOs. Many civil society organizations collaborate with MVIWATA in many programs, thus it is easy for MVIWATA to gather the views of the CSOs and feed into the advocacy campaign towards the G8.   Another reason that gives MVIWATA the winning possibility is the fact that there is a strong secretariat at the national and regional levels, internet connection and other facilities that ease communication between MVIWATA and other CSOs. It is also possible to mainstream the tasks related to the C-CfA into the routine program follow up activities.
