countries. We are committed to creating an agency that walks the talk on
power shifting, using the power shifting checklist, both internally and
externally.

Our Approach to Safeguarding
Restless
Development considers the welfare and protection of children, young
people and vulnerable adults to be an organisational imperative with
primacy over the success of programmes or strategic objectives. We
recognise that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and we expect
all of our staff, volunteers and partners to ensure we protect the
communities in which we operate from harm and abide by our Safeguarding Policy.

improving the personal and financial well-being of 300 youth in Ifakara

primary objective is to enhance employment opportunities for youth
