Restless Development
is the leading youth-led development agency. We have been working in Tanzania
since 1993 and have established an impressive track record in delivering
grassroots impact through youth led development programmes aligned to the
Government of Tanzania’s poverty reduction plans and Sustainable Development
Goals. Capitalizing on the launch
of a new brand in July 2010 and the launch of
a new 5-year global strategy (2011 – 2015), Restless Development is taking up a
position as the global banner carrier for youth-led development – demonstrating
at the grassroots and policy levels that young people can and must play a lead
role in development. More information: www.restlessdevelopment.org/tanzania
