UNA Tanzania joined forces with the NGO, Nipe Fagio, for a Beach Clean-up event on 21 September 2019 which is International World Clean-Up Day.

This event was part of the events which marked the kickoff of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Action Week #Act4SDGs. World Cleanup Day is a global social action program aimed at combating the global solid waste problem, including the problem of marine debris.

The next World Clean-up Day is the 19 September 2020. World Clean-up Day is celebrated with litter clean-up and waste mapping activities spanning every time zone.

Nipe Fagio, an NGO, meaning “give me a broom” in Swahili, is a civil society organization founded with the objective to turn Dar es Salaam into a replicable example in the pursuit of sustainable development in East Africa.

UNA Tanzania in collaboration with Media Space Tanzania launched the SDGs Club for Journalists and Storytelling. The objective of the club is to bring journalists and storytellers in Tanzania at the forefront of telling the SDGs stories from the lens of the people. The club will provide mentorship and capacity building to both young and experienced journalists in Tanzania as well as connecting the members with SDGs related opportunities for journalists. In line with the leave no one behind theme of the SDGs, we hope to inspire journalists to start telling people stories about the SDGs.
