    Today, we unveiled our Strategic Plan 2025-2029 to development partners, setting the stage for impactful research and transformative policy work in #Tanzania and beyond. "We are excited to share with our partners and all stakeholders the sixth Strategic Plan covering 2025-2029. Almost 30 years after REPOA was established as an independent research institution, we are delighted that we continue to make a meaningful contribution towards the development of evidence-informed policies and to the strengthening of capacity of the policy-research ecosystem. "Whilst at inception our focus was on poverty alleviation strategies by building and strengthening policy research capacity in Tanzania, which resulted in the name “research for poverty alleviation” whose name REPOA was as an acronym, today our scope has expanded to include a much broader offering. REPOA has moved from being an acronym to being our identity. Whilst the institution remains committed to supporting initiatives to reduce poverty, its scope and approach have evolved in recognition of the multifaceted drivers of poverty and its undeniable relationships with development. The thrust of the institution’s work is grounded in promoting socio-economic transformation essential for inclusive and sustainable development. We are motivated by our desire to see improved livelihoods for all citizens – something that you will see further reiterated in our sharpened Theory of Change (ToC)," said our Executive Director, Dr. Donald Mmari. Thank you all who joined us today—your continued partnership is so valued and essential to achieving the shared vision! 🌍🤝 #Development #StrategicPlan #Research #Partnerships
