Abstract

A dissertation on improving economic livelihood of Jiendeleze Hisa Group through rabbit farming in Vingunguti ward-Ilala Municipality Dar es salaam, is a result of the Community Needs Assessment (CNA) which was conducted in Vingunguti ward, Ilala Municipality in Dar es salaam. The group has had various project interventions which were in a motive of improving their livelihood; but because of lack of business and financial management skills, two of the projects proved failure while the remaining two are operated at loss. The final result of the exercise came up with the idea of the rabbit farming project which was identified as a remedy to their needs. The study had three major objectives to achieve. These included: To facilitate 33 Jiendeleze Hisa Group members to acquire two rabbit cages and 7 rabbits for undertaking a rabbit farming project by July 2017; To promote rabbit farming as an alternative source of income by offering free on job training to 33 Vingunguti community members by June 2018; Improving financial and business management competence of 33 Jiendeleze Hisa Group members through training on basic financial management skills by August 2017. The project had a smooth take off whereby Jiendeleze Hisa Group started implementing the rabbit farming project in order to improve their livelihood as a group.
