Appointment of Executive Director AT TWAWEZA
Dynamic, influential and widely respected, Twaweza is a leading citizen-centered initiative in East Africa focusing on citizen agency, basic learning, open government and public accountability. Twaweza means, "We can make it happen," in Swahili and focuses on large-scale change. Rakesh Rajani, a Tanzanian civil society leader, founded Twaweza and has steered the start-up and establishment of the organisation from 2009 through a period of extraordinary growth and change, culminating in the launch of a new strategic framework.

Twaweza is now seeking a new Executive Director. Working with a variety of innovative partners from different backgrounds in both the public and private sectors and by driving a rigorous learning agenda, the new Executive Director will bring about fresh ideas and lead the organisation to deliver on its mission.
