A national NGO advancing inclusive, sustainable and climate-responsive urban development in Tanzania.
Cities should be inclusive, safe and resilient.
TPi is a national non-governmental organization working in Tanzania to advance inclusive urban transformation, poverty reduction and climate resilience. We believe that every person—regardless of income, gender, age, disability or social status—deserves access to opportunities, services and dignity.
Inclusive, resilient and poverty-free urban communities in Tanzania.
To build inclusive, resilient and poverty-free urban communities through community empowerment, policy change and innovative, evidence-based solutions.
The principles that guide our work.
Dignity and Respect
Every person has the right to live in decent conditions and to be treated with respect, regardless of income, gender, age, disability or social status.
Equity and Inclusion
We prioritise the needs and voices of vulnerable groups, including women, children, youth, persons with disabilities, older persons and marginalised households.
Community Participation
Communities are central to planning, implementation, monitoring and learning, so that interventions respond to real needs and are locally owned.
Accountability and Transparency
We are committed to the responsible use of resources, ethical practice, openness and accountability to communities, partners, donors and public institutions.
Partnership and Collaboration
We work with government authorities, civil society organisations, communities, development partners, private sector actors and research institutions to achieve greater impact.
Three interconnected areas of change.
Inclusive Urban Transformation
Making cities inclusive, safe and well-governed — so residents of informal settlements and vulnerable groups can access services, opportunities and a voice in decisions.
Poverty Reduction
Expanding livelihoods, economic inclusion and access to basic services for low-income and marginalised urban households.
Climate Resilience
Helping communities and local governments prepare for, adapt to and withstand climate shocks through sustainable, climate-responsive solutions.
Community-led, evidence-informed and partnership-driven.
We listen, co-design, implement, generate evidence and influence change. Communities are partners from the beginning, not beneficiaries at the end of a project.
