VSO Tanzania, in collaboration with the Ministry of Information, Youth, Culture and Sports, will be implementing the International Citizen Service Programme. International Citizen Service (ICS) works with youth aged 18 to 25, from Tanzania and the UK. ICS aims to support community development in Tanzania, whilst giving young people a unique opportunity to live and volunteer together.
ICS is currently recruiting Tanzanian volunteers and programme supervisors, for more information please visit the advertisement and application forms below.
Voluntary Services Overseas (VSO) is the world’s leading independent international development organisation that works through international professional volunteers to fight poverty in developing countries. Over the last 50 years, VSO has worked in close collaboration with the Tanzanian Government and numerous Tanzanian organizations to support the socio-economic development of the country.
ICS is a three-year programme (2012 – 2014) funded by the UK Department for International Development (DIFID). The ICS Programme aims to support community development in countries across Africa and Asia. The programme simultaneously offers high quality volunteering opportunities to young people aged 18-25, who are keen to contribute to international development, and is delivered through a Consortium of six agencies, with VSO as the lead agency.
In Tanzania ICS will bring UK and Tanzanian volunteers together, giving them a unique opportunity to live and work together as volunteers in local communities for 12 weeks. To ensure that ICS volunteers receive adequate training and direction, programme supervisors from the UK and Tanzania will be identified to manage them on a day-to-day basis. VSO’s existing international professional volunteers will also support the ICS volunteers to contribute towards VSO Tanzania’s three core goals – to improve: education; health and livelihoods, which are aligned with the Tanzanian Government Strategic Plan.
For the next three years VSO will work with approximately 80 ICS volunteers each year, 40 from Tanzania and 40 from the UK. The first group of ICS volunteers we will be placed in Kagera, which is one of the regions where VSO currently implements its programmes.
