A Non-Governmental Organization registered by the Business and Property Registration Agency (BPRA) under the Society Act 6 of 1995 of the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar in the year 2018, the areas of engagement that we uphold include; entrepreneurship, agriculture, education, environmental consciousness, health, hygiene and sanitation along with cultural promotion. Emerging economies like those of Zanzibar and Tanzania in general require people living in poverty to engage themselves in contributing towards economic growth; it is the only manner in which economic growth will reflect upon the lives of those engaged in it. We recognize that sustainable poverty reduction requires people living in poverty to contribute to and benefit from economic growth while having access to quality basic social services such as education, health and legal services. Governments have made tremendous efforts in alleviating poverty, opening up new opportunities, creating stable environments for its citizens to engage in poverty alleviation, but often enough these people are reluctant or passive to seize these opportunities for obvious reasons. JIVA therefore advocates towards revamping the situation, by raising awareness, capacity building, providing the communities with relevant knowledge and practical skills that will consequently impact them to become proactive enough to benefit from the economic growth.
