 SUMMARY/ABSTRACT OF FIELD REPORT.

Field practical training program is among of the training program that provides opportunity to
students use theoretical knowledge into practical during field attachement after that students are
needed to prepare and write a special report about training.my field practical was conducted at
Nzovwe ward in Mbeya region,field was started on 11 July to 30 September 2022.

From my practical field l learned different tasks as the following in summary;

1.I learned to provide instructions to community members on how to fill NIDA forms, also I was
assigned my supervisor to instruct citizens on how to fill RITA forms so as to get the national
identity number and birth certificate.

2. I learned to emphasize cleanless in all streets within the ward that include influencing
community members to conduct the individual cleanless for their working residences and
business or working area that they have to ensure those areas are clean to the excellence in order
to reduce the rate of diseases in Nzovwe ward.

3. I learned to listening to the community conflicts and to solve them, my supervisor assigned me
to listen community members conflicts and misunderstanding that arise among them and provide
the possible solution to the situation.

But during performing different office tasks there are some of challenges that
encountered ,these are

1.Financial problems, In Nzovwe ward there are few source of revenues that enable the office to
fail to operate their important activities example to buy printing machine and photocopy
machines that caused to find such services in street Stationary. Also for community members
fail to register their groups and entrepreneurs fail to register the identity cards in order to make
them undisturbed during taxes collections from municipal councils and women.

2
2.Lack of cooperation among Ward's office and community members, in conducting different
activities within the community mostly needs the cooperation between communities member and
community development Officer (C.D.O) and Ward officers ( WEO, VEO, MEO) in order to
make easy understanding about various issues or problems and emphasizes the community
members to participate and contribute in development programmes, so that members of the Ward
did not show the enough cooperation during the conducting and organizing different activities

3.0 NEW KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS AQUIRED DURING PRACTICAL FIELD

3.1 Introduction

Under this section is to explain what kind of skills and knowledge have been assigned during
practical study at field area and how they related to theoretical At Nzovwe Ward in Mbeya city
council I was conducting field practical training for a time of two month and two weeks
imparted skills, experiences and knowledge on various social and economic issues. The most
notable professional experiences and skills acquired are:-

3.1.1File Management,This means to say the process of making and maintaining record for the
official use as evidence or guide line in any development plan this is also what a student leaned
on how to make sure file and different document are well preserved and stored at required place
in the office for the future use and recall under this factor make a student to have well organized
skills in the part of record management in office and its importance of record. For example, to
store file at the required place in order to reduce misplacing which may lead to loss of
information which are sensitive to the community development progression.

3.1.2 Writing and Preparing Different Job Schedules,This means a field give a student
knowledge on how to prepare job schedule in order to create the sequence of activity in order to
ensure effective job accomplishments on daily office activity as normal not every skill you will
be learn in the class room so when you being at workplace open up to gate another knowledge
and skills.

3.1.3 Meeting Management Skills,This means to say when a student is at the field area get a
chance to attend different meeting like budgetary meeting,development plan project meeting and
budget follow up meeting which enable a student to understand the way meeting are being
conducted and the way of handling meeting disputes and the importance of meeting

3.1.4 Dealing with Different People with Different Ethnicity Skills

This also another skills or lesson which I learned during field practical training these skills help
much on understanding behavior of people and different individual and the proper ways of

20
dealing with them because some people are angry other are temped other, they do not like to
interact with people so through practical training student understand how to handle it.

3.1.5 Office procedures, practices and management skills: During the field practical training
at Nzovwe ward in Mbeya City Council, it imparted several among many skills and experiences.
Which closely related with office procedures of day to day activities attended the field site, also
practices of theoretical issues in practical manner and also management skills on how to manage
community at large.

3.1.6 Coordinating and monitoring skills, Activities of community development and

implementation of development activities in the ward however required skills and experiences in
persuasion and coordinating community members from bottom up approaches. Therefore, within
the description of duties under the department of community development I participated to
coordinate some projects from the start to the period of evaluation and monitoring.

3.1.7 Communication skills, communication is the transfer of information, skills and

experiences including attitudes and emotions from one person to another. Therefore
communication enables flow of directives from one department level to locals, hence leading
good organizational relations.

3.1.8 Participatory approaches and skills, indeed participating local communities in projects
launched in the ward was also facilitated. This ensured every member have a chance of the
community participation in the community projects and contribute to his or her opinions.

3.2 RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER STAFF

Cooperation and Involvement at Nzovwe Ward, cooperation from staff such as Ward officer,
streets officers within the ward was seen however, access to the organisation was limited.
Students were not involved in weekly conferences contrary to what was expected and some of
the lon from other staff was not good in directing and supervising students to achieve the
targeted goals at field area. Also cooperation from management was by hierarchy. It was not
easy to meet management unless a high need exists. So that I learnt to be systematic and increase
performance on different duties.

21
 CHAPTER FOUR

4.0 THINGS ENJOYED MOST

Attending to the ward council meeting for the aim of gaining knowledge, activity was to
provide different services to the children who were living in poor and hard condition that made
them to fail to reach their dreams especially girls and disabled children.This was done by the
Community Development Officer who was cooperating with teachers from Halengo and
Nzovwe primary School. Apart from that we were emphasizing citizens to registered into
Tanzania Fertilizer Regulatory Authority for the purpose of getting fertilizer to all farmers within
Nzovwe ward.Therefore I was cooperating with the Community Development Officer at Ward
for the aim of emphasizing people to attend on the ward development projects example there was
building of dispensary in Halengo street in Nzovwe ward. Also emphasizing the community to
attend on the taking Polio vaccine that helps to prevent poliomyelitis, i enjoyed most because i
participated in emphasizing citizens to take vaccine and to participate in the ward development
projects and feeling happy to assist people who are hopeless and building of confidence to them.

4.1 THINGS ENJOYED LEAST.

To mobilize citizens on doing cleanlses in all streets within the ward, Another The activity was
to pursue and emphasize the community to attend in different Bonanza festivals especially the
youth’s festivals in the competition of games like football and netball especially to girls in the
grounds of Nzondahaki secondary school. This was for establishing unity, cooperation and
solidarity within different groups of the Nzovwe Ward. This also persuaded other people who
didn't have groups since the winning groups where given some offers and different rewards from
the Community Development Officer of Nzovwe Ward. This is because I could not interests so
much in Bonanza but to the extent I enjoyed the competition.

4.2 PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED

4.2.1 Lack of cooperation, in conducting different activities within the community mostly needs
the cooperation between communities member and community development Officer (C.D.O) and
Ward officers ( WEO, VEO, MEO) in order to make easy understanding about various issues or
problems and emphasizes the community members to participate and contribute in development

22
programmes so that members of the Ward did not show the enough cooperation during the
conducting and organizing different activities example didn't show enough cooperation in
various contributions which is benefits for the community like inadequate cooperation between
staff members. So that I handled such problem through the increases accountability and practice
in order to avoid misunderstanding from the staff.

4.2.2 Financial problems, In Nzovwe ward there are few source of revenues that enable the
office to fail to operate their important activities example to buy printing machine and photocopy
machines that caused to find such services in street stationary.

4.2.3 Poor waste management, the state of controlling and managing waste become a big
problem to the community because the organisation that is responsible for cleanness and
transportation of waste is very weak therefore leads to the environmental pollution as a result of
different problems to be occurred like the spread of diseases such as malaria and cholera,which
affects the health of the people. So that all members of staff should be organized well and
systematic way in order to ensure the environment is clean all the time and increases tools for
waste transportation like waste cars.

23
Figure 03: Show the poor waste management that's is due to shortage of samples in Nzovwe
ward.

4.2.4 Language barrier, because some of clients does not know Swahili language so use natives
or tribe language example most of citizens especially elders use Nyakyusa language as a way of
communication.

4.3 MAJOR BENEFITS OF FIELD ATTACHED PROGRAM.

4.3.1 Enables the community to bring about their own development, by working to improve
production so that they may have increased income which will enable communities to build a
better life through self reliance and the use of locally available resources. This is among way
poverty can be eradicated in the society.

24
Figure 04: Some Small Industries found in Nzovwe Ward

4.3.2 Enables the community to use wealth to improve their welfare and bring about social
and economic development. Community members should be aware and conscious in
performing the different activities and use of resources in order to push forward the development
of the society. For example using of Nzovwe river for irrigation activities.

25

4.3.3 Enable the community to join together in groups and increase their commitment to
self-development. Mean a creation of different groups of women youths and disabled people in
order to ensure the rise their economic through the assistance from government.

4.3.4 Enable the community to enter into the budget system and spend their income
carefully develop the habit of placing their savings in the bank. This occurred through the
formation of different groups of entrepreneurs who registered will be easily for them to get loans
due to the identity card after all aspects may lead savings their own money.

26
4.3.5 Help community to realize the importance of electing good leaders and participating
with them in leadership and development activities and to cultivate a sense of responsibility
for their own development. Community should also realize the importance of responding
existing laws, rules and regulations
