INADES-Formation Tanzania 

INADES-Formation Tanzania (IFTz) is an autonomous NGO affiliated to the network of INADES-Formation in Africa (including Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Kenya, and Tanzania). In each country, there is a local IF establishment operating autonomously according to the demands of the local situation, but bound together by a common vision, philosophy, and operational principles. IFTz was established in Dodoma in 1989 as a branch of INADES-Formation. It became a Local Office in 1992 and acquired full legal status after registering with the Ministry of Society under the Ordinance. In June 1996, IFTz became a “Trustee” under the provisions of the “Trustees’ Incorporation Ordinance.” In January 2009, it was awarded the ‘Certificate of Compliance’, No. 0851 after complying with the terms and conditions of the NGO Policy and NGO Act No. 24 of 2002 as reviewed in 2005. In 2022, IFTz received registration number NGO/R1/00448, which is due for renewal in 2032.Zambia job opportunities
