MUUNGANO WA GOOGLE NA WIKIPEDIA NI TISHIO JIPYA

2009-11-30T10:17:00.001-08:00

Kumekuwa na Malalamiko kadhaa ya watu yanayoelekezwa kwa google kwa kipindi kirefu sasa kutokana na baadhi ya huduma zake ambazo nyingi ni bure kabisa lakini hazinufaishi wale waloandaa kazi hizo au kuzizalisha mfano mzuri ni ule huduma yao ya kutafuta vitabu kwa njia ya mtandao ambapo unaweza kutafuta vitabu bure kabisa .

Kuna huduma ya google earth ambapo unaweza kutumia programu hiyo kwa ajili ya kutembelea maeneo mengi ya dunia bure kabisa na kuna baadhi ya maeneo kuna picha na video za maeneo hayo unayotembelea kwa njia ya mtandao mtu anapotumia programu hii kutembelea sehemu Fulani kwa njia ya mtandao mfano sehemu ya makumbusho wale wenye makumbusho hawafaidiki kwa njia nyingi .

Hayo na mengine mengi nisingependa kuyaongelea sana kwa leo ila leo napenda kuongelea suala la Kampuni ya Google kuungana na Wikipedia katika shuguli zao kadhaa , tukumbuke kwamba wikipedia ni mtandao ambao watu wanaingia kwa ajili ya kuchangia makala na mengine mengi yanayohusu maisha ya binadamu na viumbe wengine , unapochangia kitu kwenye wikipedia ujue mwingine anaweza kuja kurekebisha ulichoandika au kuongezea umekitoa kwa ajili ya kutumika popote .

Kwa sababu google imezoea kutoa huduma zake nyingi bure kwa watu wake wameamua kuungana na wikipedia tovuti nyingine inayotoa huduma zake bure pia lakini ambayo itamnufaisha zaidi google kibiashara haswa kwa watu wanaotafuta vitu kutokana na lugha wanazoongea au kutumia zaidi wao .

Tuchukulie mfano wa google earth ambapo unaweza kutumia huduma hiyo kutembelea maeneo mengi duniani pamoja na kuchukuwa vipimo vya maeneo unayotembelea , kwa kujiunga na wikipedia ina maana siku moja utakapotembelea bagamoyo , pembeni yake utapata makala inayohusu bagamoyo tena kwa lugha yako unayopenda wewe hii itaweza kuvutia watu wenye hoteli na huduma zingine bagamoyo kutangaza huduma zao kwenye sehemu hiyo ya google earth .

Hapo hapo kwenye programu hiyo ya google earth ina sehemu ya kuonyesha jinsi watu walivyosambaa duniani , kama wataungana na wikipedia kwenye huduma hii ina maanisha sasa unapotafuta bagamoyo kwenye google earth ukapeleka bagamoyo na kusoma makala zao sasa unaweza kuangalia jinsi neno hilo linavyotumika maeneo mengine duniani na tafsiri zake nyingi hii inaweza kusaidia kuleta watu karibu zaidi .

Bila kusahau huduma kama Twitter , Facebook na mitandao mengine ambayo watu huweka taarifa zao na kuwasiliana na watu wao wengi , huduma zote hizi zinaweza kutumika kwa wakati mmoja ikawa hatari sana kwa watu wengi wale wanaopenda kujificha jificha .

Pamoja na kwamba tunapenda huduma za mawasiliano zinazotuweka karibu zaidi , inabidi sasa watu wajiandae kwa mambo mengi na makubwa zaidi ambapo maslahi yao yanaweza kuguswa kwa namna moja au nyingine .

Hayo ni mawazo yangu tu

Grant No TF095177

Consultancy Services for Feasibility Study for an Integrated Watershed Management Program for the Kagera River Basin

Request for Expression of Interest

The countries of the Nile Equatorial Lakes Subsidiary Action Program (NELSAP)of the Nile Basin Initiative, a partnership of the riparian states of the Nile Basin, have identified a number of projects to contribute to poverty alleviation, economic growth,and the reversal of environmental degradation in the region.

The Kagera River Basin Management Project is one of the three river basin projects implemented under the NELSAP. Others include the Mara and the Sio-Malaba-Malakisi River Basin Management Projects located in Kenya and Tanzania, respectively.

The Kagera basin is characterized by low productive peasant agriculture that has caused endemic poverty; land degradation and loss of soil fertility caused by population pressure; and extensive deforestation.

In order to address these challenges, there is need for implementation of measures to address watershed degradation and thus improve water security in the catchment.

Therefore, a feasibility study for an integrated watershed management program1 is envis-aged with a focus on wetlands management, agro-forestry and water quality management

The Nile Basin Initiative (NBI)/Nile Equatorial Lakes-Subsidiary Action Program (NELSAP) (hereinafter referred to as "Borrower") has received grant financing from the World Bank Nile Basin Trust Fund (hereinafter called "grant") towards the cost of preparation of a Strategic Portfolio of Regional Water Infrastructure Projects in the Kagera river basin and intends to apply part of the proceeds of this grant to undertake Consultancy services for feasibility study for an integrated watershed management program with a focus on wetlands management, agro-forestry and water quality management for the Kagera River Basin, for which this Expression of Interest is issued.

The required consultancy services involve a feasibility study for an integrated watershed management program for each of the following three aspects:

wetlands management,
sustainable forest management for soil and water conservation, and
water quality management, including the development of wastewater management, solid waste management and other pollution control facilities.
The scope of this assignment calls for competencies in Integrated Watershed Management, including river basin management, water resources and environmental management, wetland management, water quality and waste management, soil and water conservation, afforestation and agro-forestry, financial and socio-economic assessments, economic investment appraisals; social and environmental impact analysis; and institutional analysis.

The estimated implementation period is Ten (10) months.

The Consultancy will be directly supervised by the Kagera River Basin Management Project on behalf of the Borrower.

The Kagera River Basin Project Management Unit now invites eligible consultants to indicate their interest in providing consultancy services for the feasibility study for an integrated watershed management program for the Kagera River Basin.

Interested consultants must provide information indicating that they are qualified to perform the services (profile of the firm, brochures, description of similar assignments handled, experience in similar conditions, general qualifications, qualified key staff, and so forth).

Consultants may associate to enhance their qualifications.

Consultants shall be shortlisted in accordance with the procedures set out in the World Bank's Guidelines: Selection and Employment of Consultants by World Bank Borrowers, May 2004 (Revised October 2006).

Interested consultants may obtain further information at the address given below during office hours (09.00 to 17.00hrs Monday to Friday).

There is no formula or method for entrepreneurship. At least that is what I know. All you need is to be at the right place and the right time, to realize that an opportunity is presenting itself to you.

Entrepreneurship knows no boundaries; it sets no limits for the size and/or nature of a venture. All you need is your self-confidence and the courage to say: This is not difficult, I can do it.

If you believe you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur, email me your CV (which is not really you qualification) so that we may start discussing your immediate future.

I am leaving Dar es Salaam, moving to Arusha. I have a business that I need to hand over – in 30 days – to someone who will qualify for it.

I can teach you the basics of the business – Hint: Think COMMUNICATIONS! – but the rest will be your own effort, drive and initiative.

Are you ready, to conquer the world? If you are… drop me a line.

Who you are:

Male or female
Between 18 and 30 years of age
Tanzanian citizen

Your qualifications:

Academic: Form VI leaver (minimum)
Fluency in Kiswahili and English languages
Computer Skills
Communication Skills (Can you write with fluency and no grammatical errors? Can you speak in public, or to a small group of people? Can you make a PowerPoint Presentation, from scratch?)

If you have the above qualifications, STOP WASTING TIME and get in touch with me, at info@newfrontiers.co.tz ASAP. Remember, this is NOT a job application… this is YOUR LIFE!
