Development is such a vital process whose occurrence can not be left to take place haphazardly: it has to be guided and harmonized, it has to consist of desirable and sustainable consiquences to humanity.

Processes of enabling the rural communities to improve their standard of living are adequately guided and prudently facilitated in such a way that the improvements are effected more consciously and responsibly for sustainable consequences.

All of the executed activities by the RRC fall under the following two long-term programs:

Consideration is always given to all of the cross-cutting issues such as HIV/AIDS, envrionmental conservation, gender, youth employment, and the importance of private sector promotion during the designing of any intervention.

We cover all the Regions in the country, although we have, of recent, concentrated our presence in the Southern and Northern Zones, and thinly in the Lake Zone (Ngara, Muleba, Bukoba Rural, Maswa districts and Kigoma Region). Each project has its specific direct target-group, and the range is very wide; from the grassroots level up to National level with some aspects. Nevertheless, the main focus has always been the rural community as a whole.

Sectors and sub sectors covered include: SMEs, Health - HIV/AIDS, Environment, Education, Training, Agriculture, Culture and Tourism, Capacity building, Water - Uchira and Kiliwater -, Business and Trade. Training (of adults) has always featured predominantly in the aspects of Business Management Skills, entrepreneurship skills including Customer care and/or services.

The range of beneficiaries is just as wide; encompassing the target-group(s) and all other stakeholders in each project, and of course, the RRC itself.

As it has been implied above, the centre never seeks donations for running the day-to-day operations, but rather sells products and services in form of: project proposals, training manuals and consultancies to donors/development partners for funding.

The past donors/clients include: GTZ, NORAD, SNV, BfW, FAKT, ELCT / NED, UVETA, TCTF, Gorta, Regional Secretariats, District councils, Private Companies and Individuals. The most current being; USAID funded DAI-PESA, ACDI-VOCA SEEGAAD and SEMMA Projects, the Caritas-Kigoma, ILO, SWISSAID Tanzania, UNDP, EEDI, EDC, UDSM, TACAIDS-RFA/GFA, FfCS, Regional Secretariats, District councils, Private Companies and Individuals.

The RRC is manned by professionals who have undergone postgraduate training programs in their fields of specialization and have long tracks of experiences with regard to rural development programs.  The Centre commands a reputable level of networking and teaming up with a range of authorities from various establishments and specializations.

The organization's annual budget is often dependent on the number and nature of projects being implemented.  At operational level, the RRC does not maintain a permanently static payroll, but engages experts from its pool of professionals in short-term bases as the need arises.
