The Commission for Human Rights and Good Governance (CHRAGG) has reached more than 89,000 Tanzanians through various public education initiatives aimed at promoting human rights awareness and the principles of good governance during the 2025/2026 financial year.

The achievements were announced by CHRAGG Spokesperson and Director of Public Education, Communication, Research and Documentation, Ms. Mnanka, while speaking to journalists at the 49th Dar es Salaam International Trade Fair (DITF), popularly known as Sabasaba.

Ms. Mnanka said the Commission has continued to expand its public outreach by using multiple communication platforms, including training sessions for different community groups, radio and television programmes, social media, bulk SMS services, and the distribution of educational publications.

She noted that more than 80,000 citizens received human rights messages through mobile phone SMS campaigns, while 39,129 brochures and 200 educational books were distributed to enhance public understanding of human rights, good governance, and procedures for submitting complaints to CHRAGG.

In addition, the Commission aired 79 educational programmes on radio and television, enabling it to reach a wider audience across the country.

Beyond public awareness campaigns, CHRAGG also provided human rights training to more than 9,300 participants from various sectors of society during the 2025/2026 financial year.

According to Ms. Mnanka, the beneficiaries included 827 police officers, 324 journalists, 60 councillors, more than 8,000 students, and 121 lecturers and teachers from nine universities and other higher learning institutions.

She said the training was designed to strengthen participants' understanding of human rights, the principles of good governance, and the responsibility of every citizen to protect and uphold these rights.

"Empowering different groups within society is a crucial step towards strengthening the culture of respecting human rights and preventing human rights violations as well as breaches of good governance principles," Ms. Mnanka said.

She added that CHRAGG will continue leveraging technology and diverse communication platforms to ensure that human rights education reaches more Tanzanians, as part of its ongoing efforts to promote a society that respects, protects, and upholds human rights and good governance.
