Deadline: 7 April 2017

The Foundation for Civil Society (FCS) is seeking proposals for its “Implementation of Good Governance Programme in Tanzania 2017” to implement good governance programmes in their areas of locality.

FCS Governance programme is developed in line with the understanding that there is strong and intricate nexus between poverty, inequality and governance.
