Wajibu Wako, Haki Yetu is a community-owned initiative by ZAFAYCO that aims to foster good governance and mutual accountability between young people and local government authorities in four districts of Unguja and Pemba, Zanzibar. These districts include North A and Central Districts of Unguja, as well as Chake Chake and Micheweni Districts of Pemba. Currently, ZAFAYCO is facilitating this initiative through district dialogues, which bring together youth, district authorities, and youth officers. These dialogues provide a platform for open discussions and collaboration, involving over 110 young individuals. They engage in ongoing discourse with representatives from civil society organizations and their district leaders as they actively participate in various community development projects. The program spans a two-year period, with a strong commitment from the youth and the support of ZAFAYCO. It is designed to ensure its sustainability and long-lasting impact. ZAFAYCO envisions a promising future in which young people actively contribute to national development, starting at the grassroots level. This engagement enjoys broad support from all stakeholders, including civil society, government, and the wider community.
