... Wafanyakazi wake Wanawake wajengewa uwezo kupitia  Female Future Progamme

Katika kuelekea kilele cha maadhimisho ya Siku ya Wanawake Duniani  2026 yakiendelea,kampuni ya Barrick nchini yenye ubia na serikali kupitiaa kampuni ya Twiga Minerals, imeendeleza dhamira yake ya kuhakikisha Wanawake wanapewa fursa sawa katika ushiriki wa mnyororo wa sekta ya madini ambapo imewawezesha wafanyakazi wake wanawake 5 kupata mafunzo uongozi kupitia programu ya Mwanamke wa Wakati Ujao (Female Future Progamme) yanayotolewa na Chama cha Waajiri Tanzania (ATE) inayolenga kuboresha ufanisi wa wafanyakazi wa kike mahali pa kazi.

Programu ya Mwanamke wa Wakati ujao ambayo ilianzishwa mwaka 2015  imefikia kundi (Cohort) la  11 ikiwa inajumuisha wanawake wasomi kutoka makampuni mbalimbali, ilianzishwa Chama cha Waajiri Tanzania(ATE) kwa kushirikiana na Shirikisho la Vyama vya Waajiri nchini Norway na katika kipindi cha muda mfupi imekuwa msaada mkubwa katika kuwajengea uwezo katika utawala katika sehemu zao za kazi.

Akihojiwa kuhusu ushiriki katika progamu hiyo mmoja wa wahitimu kutoka mgodi wa Barrick North Mara, Edith Biita, alisema anajivunia kuajiriwa na kampuni kubwa kama Barrick ambayo imekuwa mstari wa mbele kuwapatia wafanyakazi wanawake nafasi za uongozi na nafasi inayomuwezesha kutoa maamuzi ambayo yeye na wafanyakazi wenzake wanawake ndani ya kampuni wanayo fursa ya kutoa mawazo yao na yamekuwa yakiheshimiwa bila kujali jinsia na umri wao.

Wahitimu wa Programu ya Mwanamke wa wakati ujao ya ATE  (Female Future Program ) kutoka Barrick North Mara katika picha ya pamoja , kuanzia kushoto,  Patricia Vulla , Elda Mahenda, Sella Mwaigomole, Edith Dickson Biita na Noela Mataro katika mahafali yaliyofanyika katika ukumbi wa Mlimani City.

Akiwa ni msomi wa fani ya uhandisi wa madini akifanya kazi katika kitengo cha Uchimbaji na milipuko (Drill and Blast) alisema mafunzo  aliyopapata kupitia programu hiyo ni ya aina yake kwa kuwa yanawezesha kupata maarifa ya masuala mbalimbali hususani utawala kwa kuwa katika fani zote suala la utawala na uongozi lipo.

Naye Sella Mwangomole mtaalamu wa metolojia na maabara alisema mafunzo yanayotolewa na program hii yanawezesha kujiamini zaidi katika utawala na alitoa ushauri kuwa  kuna haja ya kuwa na programu nyingi za aina hii ili ziwafikie wanawake wengi popote walipo nchini ili wasibaki nyuma katika utawala kwenye sekta mbalimbali.

“Ili wanawake wengi kutobaki nyuma silaha pekee ya kuwakwamua ni elimu na ninaposema elimu simaanishi kupata shahada za juu  pekee bali ni kujifunza mambo mbalimbali na kupata maarifa, kuungana na kushirikiana ambapo watapata fursa ya kubadilishana uzoefu wa masuala mbalimbali,kupeana moyo na kupanga mikakati ya kutatua changamoto zinazowakabili”.Alisema Mwangomole.

Naye Noela Mataro alishukuru Barrick kupitia mgodi wa North Mara kwa kumpatia fursa ya kupata mafunzo haya ya utawala na kuongeza kuwa anavutiwa na sera ya kampuni ya kuwapatia nafasi za uongozi wanawake katika vitengo mbalimbali ambapo wanaendelea kufanya vizuri na kudhihirisha kuwa ujuzi hauna jinsia.

Mshiriki mwingine kutoka Barrick, Patricia Vullah, alisema Mpango wa kuwapatia wanawake mafunzo ya utawala ya Female Future Programme ni moja ya jukwaa la kuwanyanyua wanawake wa Tanzania na kuwafikisha kwenye nafasi za juu za uongozi na kutoa maamuzi.

Kwa upande wake Elda Mahenda alisema kupitia Programu hii alisema wanafundishwa masuala mengi hususani utawala wenye kuleta ufanisi kwa makampuni, kujiaamini na jinsi ya kushiriki na kuchangia mawazo katika vikao vya juu vya bodi za makampuni “Mtaala wa kufundishia unaotumika ni mzuri na ndani ya kipindi cha muda mfupi unaweza kumbadilisha mtu kuwa na maarifa na upeo mkubwa na kujiamini”, alisema.

Kampuni ya Barrick nchini imekuwa mstari wa mbele kutekeleza sera imara ya kukuza usawa wa kijinsia kwa kuwawezesha wanawake kushika nafasi za uongozi na kiufundi katika migodi yake ya Bulyanhulu,North Mara na Buzwagi ambao uko katika mchakato wa kufungwa pia inazingatia ushirikishwaji wa wanawake, mafunzo, na programu za ndani na nje zinazolenga kukuza vipaji vyao ili kuongeza uwakilishi katika ngazi za maamuzi.

Katika kuadhimisha Siku yaWanawake Duniani, Kampuni inatumia siku hii kama jukwaa la kutathmini na kuendeleza juhudi za wanawake kazini, kusaidia jamii zinayozunguka migodi na Kuchochea wanawake kuingia katika sekta ya madini ambayo awali ilitawaliwa na wanaume.

Baadhi ya wahitimu wakifuatilia hotuba mbalimbali katika siku hiyo ya mafahali yaliyofanyika jijini Dar es Salaam

Juhudi hizi za uwezeshaji wanawake zinaendana na sera ya serikali ya kuongeza ushirikishwaji wa Watanzania (Local Content) na kuimarisha uwakilishi wa wanawake katika mnyororo wa sekta ya madini.

Mwisho

 -Awapa muda wa siku 90 wananchi ambao tayari wamelipwa fidia kupisha shughuli za upapanuzi wa mgodi.

Mkuu wa Mkoa  wa Mara, Kanali Evans Mtambi, ameeleza kuridhishwa na ujenzi wa makazi mapya ya wananchi walioguswa na upanuzi wa Mgodi wa dhahabu wa Barrick North Mara pia amewapa siku 90 wananchi ambao tayari wamelipwa fidia ya maeneo yao  kuondoka ili kupisha shughuli za upanuzi wa mgodi.

Akizungumza wakati alipokwenda kukagua ujenzi wa nyumba hizo katika eneo la Magena, Nyamongo wilayani Tarime karibuni, Kanali Mtambi aliupongeza mgodi huo kwa uwekezaji unaokwenda sambamba na ustawi wa wananchi.

Alitumia nafasi hiyo pia kusisitiza umuhimu wa kuendelea kuimarisha uhusiano na ushirikiano kati ya mgodi huo na jamii inayouzunguka kwa maendeleo endelevu ya pande zote mbili na kuwataka wananchi ambao tayari wamelipwa fidia ya maeneo yao wawe wameondoka ndani ya siku 90 na wale waliogomea kulipwa fidia kukaa pamoja na wadau kutoka pande zozote kumaliza changamoto hiyo.

“Mkuu wa Wilaya na watu wa ardhi nawapa siku saba , mje kwa hawa wananchi, mkae nao muwaelimishe wakubali kufanyiwa uthamini na kupokea fidia kwa mujibu wa sheria,” alisema Kanali Mtambi.

Alionya kuwa kugomea uthamini na fidia kunakiuka sheria za nchi na kunachelewesha shughuli za mgodi huo pamoja na miradi ya maendeleo inayotegemea uwekezaji huo.

Baadaye, RC Mtambi alikwenda kuzindua moja ya nyumba za waguswa ambayo imejengwa na mgodi huo katika kijiji cha Mjini Kati.

Awali, Meneja Mkuu  wa mgodi huo, Apolinary Lyambiko, alimweleza Mkuu wa Mkoa kwamba kampuni inaendelea kulipa fidia kwa kaya 254 zinazotakiwa kupisha ekari 59 kwa upanuzi wa shimo Nyabirama,hatua inayolenga kuongeza uzalishaji na kuimarisha usalama.

 Lyambiko alisema waguswa 654 kati ya 728 walifanyiwa uthamini na kwamba hao tayari wamekwishapokea fidia zao ili kupisha upanuzi wa shimo la wazi la Nyabirama.

“Mradi huu unalenga si tu kuongeza ufanisi wa uzalishaji bali pia kuhakikisha usalama kwa kupata eneo la mita 200 la hifadhi kinga (buffer zone) kutoka kwenye shimo kama sheria inavyoelekeza,” alisema.

Aidha, Lyambiko alisema waguswa walipewa fursa ya kuchagua aina ya fidia wanayoitaka; kati ya fedha taslimu, kujengewa nyumba na ardhi mbadala.

“Wananchi 571 walichagua fedha taslimu, 36 walichagua ardhi na nyumba mbadala, 37 walichagua ardhi mbadala na 10 walichagua nyumba mbadala, na mchakato umezingatia ushirikishaji na hiari ya wananchi,” alifafanua.

Aliongeza kuwa ujenzi wa  nyumba 10 mbadala umeshakamilika, nyumba 24 ujenzi umefikia asilimia 70, 16 ziko katika hatua za awali na 18 ziko kwenye hatua za manunuzi.

Kwa mujibu wa Lyambiko, mradi huo wa ujenzi wa nyumba za waguswa unatekelezwa na wakandarasi watatu waliopitishwa na Tume ya Madini Tanzania.

“Tunaendelea kuhakikisha kuwa kasi inaongezwa ili wahusika wahamie kwenye makazi yao mapya kwa wakati na kuruhusu mgodi kuendelea na shughuli zake kwenye eneo la Nyabirama,” alisema.

Taarifa za Serikali kuhusiana na program hiyo zinabainisha kuwa wananchi 728 wa eneo hilo walifayiwa tathmini ya kulipwa fidia kwa ajili ya upanuzi wa eneo la mgodi ambapo hadi sasa wananchi 571 tayari wamelipwa fidia ya fedha taslimu na wengine 74 hawajasaini nyaraka za kulipwa fidia ambapo wananchi 11 wamegomea kufanyiwa tathmini.

Katika ziara hiyo, RC Mtambi aliambatana na Mkuu wa Wilaya, Meja Edward Gowele na Mbunge wa Jimbo la Tarime Vijijini, Mwita Waitara, miongoni mwa viongozi wengine.

Mgodi wa Dhahabu wa North Mara unaendeshwa na Kampuni ya Barrick kwa ubia na Serikali ya Tanzania kupitia Kampuni ya Twiga Minerals na ni miongoni mwa uwekezaji mkubwa wa uchimbaji wa madini nchini, ambao unachangia utekelezaji wa miradi ya kijamii, mapato ya taifa na ajira kwa Watanzania.

RC wa Mara akitembelea maeneo ambayo wakazi wake wamekataa kufanyiwa tathmini kwa ajili ya upanuzi wa shughuli za mgodi.

Demonstrations addressed security challenges in the Indian Ocean..

With an exclusive economic zone estimated at 160,000 square kilometers, the financial health of the Comoros Islands is linked to the water. However, all eyes were on the sky on January 23, when a contingent from the United States Navy arrived on two MV-22 Ospreys and a KC-130 Hercules transport aircraft for an exchange of military expertise.

Comorian Minister of Defense Youssoufa Mohamed Ali and Brig. Gen. Youssouf Idjihadi, chief of the Defense Staff of the National Development Army, were on hand in the capital, Moroni, to meet with U.S. Brig. Gen. Matthew W. Brown, commander of the Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa, based in Djibouti.

Ali declared that the U.S. Navy’s visit was of major strategic significance “in a regional context marked by the rise of transnational threats and the growing importance of maritime security in the southern Indian Ocean.”

He praised the military exchange’s focus on interoperability and underscored his country’s growing partnership with the U.S., saying that the four-day collaboration will help raise the skill level of the Comorian military.

“This exercise, based on the sharing of expertise, experiences and know-how, reflects the common desire of our two countries to strengthen their military cooperation and interoperability in a professional and structured framework,” he said to local media. “The skills acquired will sustainably strengthen the operational effectiveness of our forces, their ability to anticipate and their ability to fulfill the missions entrusted to them in the service of the nation.”

The two contingents gathered at Itsoundzou Training Center, the primary base for Comorian Soldiers, 15 kilometers from Moroni. The exchange focused on identifying the different systems operated by Comorian and U.S. units so that they can improve interoperability in common maritime security goals such as counternarcotics, countertrafficking, counterillegal migration and Comorian participation in multilateral security efforts on and around the continent.

Demonstrations included tactical combat casualty care, tactical drone operations, mortars, snipers, machine-gun firing, medical evacuations and aerial communications. Simulated intervention exercises occupied a significant portion of the four-day training session, which involved units of the Comorian National Gendarmerie, the Comorian Coast Guard and the General Directorate of Civil Security.

“We are very pleased to be here to express our willingness to work with the Comorian forces on several aspects related to maritime security and the fight against trafficking,” Brown said. “This willingness is not new. We have been working on this subject for years. But this time, we are taking another step in this willingness to work with all countries in the region to better address the various threats.”

Lt. Cmdr. Sephora Fortune, head of the U.S. military group in Madagascar and the Comoros, led the U.S. forces’ demonstrations and praised the partnership with Comoros, which focuses on combating drug, arms and human trafficking, and illegal fishing.

“Illegal maritime activities, including irregular migration and illegal fishing, weaken economies, fuel insecurity and threaten sovereignty,” she said. “They fuel criminal networks, destabilize coastal communities and erode public trust in governance.”

Ali said he was pleased with high-level discussions in Moroni on the prospects for military cooperation between Comoros and the U.S. Talks also addressed the strategic and operational role of Comorian forces in securing the southern Indian Ocean.

“The Union of the Comoros reaffirms its commitment to strengthen international cooperation, based on mutual respect, the sharing of expertise, and the building of sustainable capacities in the service of peace and security in the Indian Ocean,” he said.

“Discussions focused on assessing the priority needs of the Comorian defense and security forces, particularly in maritime surveillance, securing maritime borders and strengthening operational capacities adapted to the realities on the ground. We hope that this cooperation will continue and be further strengthened in the service of peace, security and the stability of our country and the region.”

 Na Mwandishi Wetu, Tarime

Katika mwendelezo wa  utelekezaji wa mkakati endelevu wa kampuni ya Barrick,mgodi wake wa North Mara uliopo wilayani Tarime mkoani Mara umefanikisha upandaji wa miti zaidi ya 40,000  kando ya mto Tighite kwa ushirikiano na shirika lisilo la kiserikali la Jamii wa Watumiaji wa Maji Tigithe Chini (JWMTC)  kwa ajili ya kuhifadhi mazingira na kurejesha na uoto wa asili.

Mto Tighite ni moja ya vyanzo vikuu vya maji vya Mto Mara ambao unatiririsha maji yake katika  Ziwa Victoria upande wa Tanzania na  maelfu ya wakazi wa vijiji vilivyopo jirani na mgodi wa Barrick North Mara  wanategemea mto huo kupata maji ya matumizi ya nyumbani, kunywesha mifugo na shughuli za kilimo.

Akiongea kuhusu programu  hiyo ambayo inaendelea kupata mafanikio,Mwenyekiti wa Jumuiya ya Watumia Maji Tigithe Chini (JWMTC), Mwita Seri, ameeleza kuwa kutokana na uwezeshaji na ushirikiano wanaoupata kutoka mgodi wa dhahabu wa Barrick North Mara hadi kufikia sasa wamefanikiwa kupanda miche ya miti 42,700.

“Tangu progamu hii ya kupanda miti kando ya mto Tighite izinduliwe mwaka jana wakati wa maadhimisho ya Siku ya Mazingira Duniani tumekuwa tukipata ushirikiano mkubwa kutoka Mgodi wa North Mara na lengo lililokusudiwa la kutunza mazingira katika eneo hili linaendelea kupata mafanikio na eneo hili la mto limebadilika kwa kiasi kikubwa sasa”alisema Mwita Seri.

Meneja Mkuu wa Mgodi wa Barrick North Mara, Apolinary Lyambiko alisema wakati wa uzinduzi wa progamu hiyo kuwa kuwa Dhamira ya mgodi ni kupanda miti ya asili 50,000  katika kingo za mto Tighite ili kuzuia mmomonyoko wa udongo kwa kushikilia udongo kwa mizizi yake ikiwemo na miti ya mbao itakayopandwa mita 60 za mto huo." Programu kama hizi ziliwahi kufanyika mto Mara . Dhumuni letu ndani ya mwaka mmoja tuwe tumekamilisha Programu hii “alisisitiza.

Kwa mujibu wa Seri, uharibifu mkubwa wa uoto wa asili wa mto Tighite ndio uliisukuma taasisi ya Jumuiya ya Watumia Maji Tigithe Chini (JWMTC),  kubuni wazo la kuwa na mpango endelevu wa kuhifandi mazingira ya chanzo hicho cha maji.

Alisema mgodi wa Barrick North Mara unagharimia ununuzi wa miche ya miti, uchimbaji mashimo na ulinzi wa miti iliyopandwa, miongoni mwa mambo mengine katika mradi huu.“Lengo kubwa ni kulinda mto Tighite kwa kurudisha uoto wa asili, na hata miti tunayopanda ni ya asili na rafiki kwa mazingira,” alisisitiza Mwenyekiti huyo wa JWMTC.

Seri alibainisha kuwa Jumuiya ya Watumia Maji Tighite Chini ambayo iko chini ya Bodi ya Maji Bonde la Ziwa Victoria, inasimamia kata nne zenye vijiji 12 jirani na mgodi wa Barrick North Mara. Alitaja vijiji hivyo na kata zake zikiwa kwenye mabano kuwa ni Matongo, Nyabichune, Nyangoto na Mjini Kati (Matongo), Nyamwaga na Komarera (Nyamwaga).

Mbali na kuwezesha utekelezaji wa mradi huu wa mazingira na kulinda chanzo cha maji cha mto Tighete  Mgodi wa Barrick North Mara kupitia fedha za CSR umefanikisha mradi wa maji wenye thamani ya shilingi bilioni 2.665 kwa ajili ya upanuzi wa chanzo cha maji cha Nyamongo, wilayani Tarime vijijini kilichopo ndani ya eneo la Mgodi ambacho awali kilisanifiwa kuhudumia wananchi 27,742 wa vijiji vya Nyangoto, Matongo, Mjini Kati na Nyabichune na unasimamiwa na  Wakala wa Maji na Usafi wa Mazingira Vijijini (RUWASA) na uko katika hatua za mwisho kukamilika.

Kutokana na ongezeko la mahitaji ya maji katika vijiji vingine saba vinavyozunguka mgodi. Chanzo hiki kimesanifiwa upya kwa lengo la kuhudumia wananchi 125,566 katika vijiji vingine sita vya Genkuru, Nyamwaga, nyakunguru, Kerende, Msege na Komarera.

Mgodi wa Dhahabu wa Barrick North Mara unaendeshwa na Kampuni ya Barrick kwa ubia na Serikali ya Tanzania kupitia Kampuni ya Twiga Minerals.

Kampuni ya Barrick kupitia utekelezaji wake wa mkakati endelevu imefanikisha miradi mbalimbali ya kijamii katika maeneo yanayozunguka migodi yake hususani katika kuboresha sekta ya elimu,upatikanaji wa maji salama,afya,mazingira na kuongea wigo kwa ajira.
