In Swahili:

Washirika wa Maendeleo kutoka Umoja Wa Mataifa wemeahidi kuendelea kuunga mkono shughuli za maendeleo ya uchumi pamoja na ustawi katika jamii ya Kitanzania. Hayo yamesemwa jana usiku na Mratibu Mkazi wa UN Alvaro Rodriguez katika mkutano na waandishi wa Habari uliofanyika mkoani iringa.

Alvaro amesema suala la ustawi katika jamii na maendeleo ya uchumi ni vitu ambavyo wao kama wafadhili wanaoiwakilisha UN wataendelea kuviangalia haswa wakisisitiza suala la afya na upatikanaji wa lishe bora kwa wananchi wa Tanzania hususan wale wenye kipato cha chini.

Alvaro aliongeza kuwa, kikubwa ambacho watahakikisha ni kwa njia gani wanachi hasa wale wa kipato cha chini wataweza kufaidika katika ukuaji wa uchumi wa Tanzania.

Mbali na hayo, nae Mwenyekiti wa msafara huo Maria van Berlekom amesema kuwa bado UN wataendelea kushirikiana na REA pamoja na TANESCO kwa kuongeza vifaa vya umeme ili kuimarisha miundo mbinu ya umeme na kuweza kufikisha umeme vijijini ili hata wanavijiji hao waweze kufungua viwanda vidogo vidogo ambavyo vitawasaidia kujikwamua kimaisha.

 Hali kadhalika, Maria amesema mbali na kuleta vifaa mbavyo vitaweza kufikisha umeme katika maeneo ya vijijini, bado wanaendelea kusisitia matumizi ya umeme wa sola na njia nyingine za uzalishaji wa umeme kwani pia ni msaada kwa wananchi hasa waishio vijijini. ( Habari na Picha Zote: Jacqueline Muro, KwanzaJamii/Mjengwablog.com)
