Twaweza is an East African NGO legally operating in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. It is also registered in Tanzania under NGO Act of 2002 as an independent organization with registration no.00NGO/R2000422. The decision for reregistration resulted from government's issueing countrywide instruction that required all NGO to perform verification and to reregister in compliance with the new misceleneous NGO amendment Act of 2019. In this process of reregistration, Twaweza also made a decision to separate its governance work from education program. UWEZO which was formally known as a Twaweza's education program copmponent changed to an independent organization with its own organization structure, leadership and registration. There is now UWEZO as an education organization and Twaweza which entirely focuses on implementing governance strategy.

Result
1. Citizens have the ability, willingness and opportunity to articulate their problems, come together to discuss them, express their views in the public sphere and take civic actions to address these challenges. They are acting, organising for change, and they use multiple strategies to do so. Twaweza is working through partners and directly to train, mentor, equip and inspire local change agents to address locally defined problems. Twaweza supports communities to problematize well and at the structural causes behind the local challenges, and ultimately promote more inclusive and active local governance structures. 2. Local and national government agencies operate in ways that take account of citizen concerns, voices and civic action, and are able and driven to act in response. These practices are slowly taking root and diffusing beyond the immediate community and into national discourse as Twaweza is working to amplify these stories, voices and ideas into public and policy debates and to persuade authorities to be responsive through advocacy and litigation. 3. Civic space is less restricted in regard to basic respect for free expression, association and assembly; access to information; and established rule of law, as Twaweza, directly and in concert with diversecoalitions, amplifies citizen perspectives, stories and challenges through media and directly to government officials, mobilises citizens and civil society to undertake joint actions, and engages in selective defensive litigation against government violations of rights.
