From September 5–7, 2024, CODEWA proudly participated in the Annual Non-Governmental Organizations Forum (ANGOF) 2024, held at the Jakaya Kikwete Convention Centre in Dodoma.

• Stakeholders passionate about the wellbeing of children, youth, and families

These interactions opened doors for potential collaborations and strengthened relationships that are critical for advancing community-centered development.
