JamiiForums
JamiiForums (JF) is a Civil Society that coordinates the JamiiForums network and promotes Digital Rights, Democracy, Accountability and Good Governance.
Community Forums has been at the forefront of promoting quality and productive online content for over 15 years by providing a public forum for citizens (citizen journalists) to express themselves fearlessly, hold their leaders accountable and build greater awareness on a variety of issues. Through this journey and its commitment to Digital Rights Advocacy, Community Forums continues to play its role in ensuring the internet remains a safe place where the Tanzanian public can access quality information and also create content that promotes positive change
As such, JF provides an opportunity for its stakeholders and all citizens with the ability to prepare content to participate in the transformational online content writing competition (Stories of Change).
The first phase of this competition will run from July 14 to September 15, 2021.
