TRANSLATION / INTERPRETATION OF SPIDER Tool FROM ENGLISH TO SWAHILI
1. Background information
· Trias
Trias is an international development organisation with strong roots in Belgium. In 14 countries, Trias supports the realization of dreams of millions of family farmers and small-scale entrepreneurs through their member-based organisations (MBOs) by connecting, empowering, and bringing about change. Our interventions are focused on organisational strengthening and institutional development.
In Tanzania Trias currently work together with 10 Tanzanian organizations to ensure the member-based organisations (MBOs) partners and members become stronger and more sustainable organisations, and empowered actors of change.
Trias has the ambition to ensure the supported MBO-members are becoming active agents of change, and actively contributing to their own livelihoods, social and political development, as entrepreneurs' members of their MBO and as global citizens. We concretely want to see the family farmers, non-farmer entrepreneurs, pastoralists and their organisations actively contribute to inclusivity of women, youth and other underprivileged groups, environmental conservation and climate change mitigation and adaptation, and entrepreneurship.
· SPIDER (Strengthening Partners In Development through Empowerment and Reflection) is a Trias-made approach consisting of tools and processes for assessment and dialogue with MBOs to measure their evolution over the years. A bottom-up and co-creative process involving leaders and members to reflect on the current capacities and performance of the MBO. The tool includes the development of an organizational development plan, focusing on 6 core capacities, of which the advances are regularly measured through auto-evaluations and member satisfaction surveys.
· The translated Swahili SPIDER Tool is intended for Swahili-speaking leaders, board members, and members who represent other members to reflect on the current capacities and performance of the MBO. These representatives may include individuals from diverse backgrounds, such as farmers, entrepreneurs, and pastoralists. The translated SPIDER Tool aims to effectively communicate with MBOs in the Swahili language, facilitating better understanding, engagement, and collaboration.
