Our Funding Partners:
We truly thank our funding partners, Tanzania Media Fund (TMF) for making this fellowship
a possibility. Tanzanians would be served better than previously when our television
production enhances its competitiveness and impact on accountability. It would be a sheer
lack of gratitude if we did not recognize the generous support of the development partners
who, through TMF, made this development a possibility. Through the kindness of their tax
payers’ resources, our people would find enriching tv programmes while in their living rooms
notwithstanding the subsequent impact on accountability. Worth a mention, these friends
are: Irish Aid, Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), UK Department for
International Development (DfID) and The Royal Government of Denmark. We recognize
the appreciative role they keep on playing in enhancing the practice of accountability, good
governance and transparency for a stronger and cohesive nation. Thank you for this noble
duty for which we truly appreciate adorably.
