YOUNG PEOPLE IN TANZANIA(YOPOCODE)


u  Young people constitute a large and rapidly growing proportion of the population in most countries of Africa and in many parts of the world as a whole. Youth in Tanzania form important part in the community and have great Impact on national development strategies and policies.
u  The Tanzania National Youth Policy defines young people as persons aged between 15-35 years. This definition is broader than that of United Nations (UN), which is 15-24 years. The policy definition is in line with the provisions of the African Youth Charter (2006).
u  Young people aged 15-35 years make up 34.7% of the total population in Tanzania as per the 2012 National Census. Youth live in a rapidly changing world, faced with many pressures. They face challenges such as Unemployment, illiteracy, ignorance, sense of hopelessness and inequality that act an as hindrance to utilize their potentials for community development.
u  However, the government of Tanzania in cooperation with local and International organizations, agencies and institutions have done good job to empower young people to utilize their potentials and engage in Economic activities. But there is still more effort needed to empower Youth to achieve full potential of their life.

u  Therefore, founder members have decided to establish the organization with the name YOUTH POTENTIALS FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT (YOPOCODE) to support initiatives done by the stakeholders to support Youth.

Ebu angali mifano ya watu mbalimbali waliowahi kuisikia sauti ya Mungu ikiwaita kwa ajili ya kutekeleza agizo fulani. MUSA kabla ya kuanza kumtumikia Mungu alikuwa mchungaji wa mifugo ya mkwe Yethro kuhani wa Midiani.Katikati ya uchungaji Mungu alimwita Musa.Kumbe ili na wewe umtumikie Mungu unatakiwa uisikie sauti yake ikisema na wewe,Ni hatari sana kama uta
