Abstract

A dissertation on promoting shopping baskets production in Kivule is for Sustainable Economic Development, which resulted from the Community Needs Assessments (CNA) conducted in Kivule Majohe in Ilala Municipal. It was done after identifying assets of the community and defining potential concerns that face a particular community, which aimed at income poverty reduction to the community members. The CNA exposed that the use of shopping baskets is very low to majority at Kivule-Majohe; and that there was a need to come up with the project. This situation resulted to Kondeni Women Group to engage in making shopping baskets to tackle the challenges and increase income in their community. There were some other activities which community members engaged rather than making shopping baskets like: Poultry Keeping, Farming/Gardening, tailoring and petty Business which contributes to their household income for income poverty reduction. On the other hand, there are reliable markets for the products of shopping baskets; hence many people engage in producing baskets. The project had four objectives that have been achieved, one of which was to ensure reliable market for shopping baskets. However, group members and stakeholders continue to find out more new markets to achieve the targeted goal for sustainability of the project. In the development context, participatory monitoring and evaluation to strengthens and deepens contribution of primary stakeholders by honoring their perspectives, voices, preferences and decisions. The successful implementation of the project encourages many people, who are not yet engaged in basket production to engage into basket production as they see it as a very profitable; and thus, reduce the poverty level in the households. Keywords: Household, Income, Shopping Baskets, Production.
