Abstract

The study was conducted in Majengo ward at Arusha city and the project implemented at AICT Majengo Student Center TZ0950 from April to September 2019. The Participatory Community Needs Assessment was conducted specifically to the Homogeneous group of Marginalized Home-Based Survival Mothers registered as beneficiary at the center. Survey method was used in the study and questionnaire was applied as the main tool of collecting primary data from the Community. Four priority needs and possible interventions were identified and analyzed, whereby the Sustainable source of income was well-known as the main critical need of the community. Batik Fabric Making Project identified as the possible intervention that can be implemented to address the need of the community. Batik is a graphic art on textile materials produced by using traditional drawing techniques typically recognized on traditional clothes integrated to the cultural identity of the tribe, nation or a country. In this study, various tools such as project implementation plan, logical framework, monitoring and evaluation tools were used during the implementation of the project. Actual Project Implementation started in April 2019 by the MCED student introducing developmental mindset to the group members of Home-Based Survival Mothers. In this project of Batik making, monitoring was conducted considerably on the relevance of the project activities, inputs and outputs. It also focused on how the project was going to prove sustainability and create other project at the end of its project life cycle. For the purpose of future studies it is recommended to start with Community Needs Assessment (CNA) so that the project designers and implementers to discover the priority needs and possible intervention from the grass root level of the community.
