HakiElimu was established
in early 2001 by a group of 13 Tanzanian founder
members. The group consists of some of the
leading members of civil society, academic,
research, media, human rights and critical
gender community in Tanzania. Collectively,
the group represents over 200 years of experience
in analysis, program development, activism
and management, including specialization in
education. Six of the thirteen members are
women.

| Governance
and Management Structure |
| HakiElimu members
are the ultimate 'legal owners' of the organization
and are responsible for providing overall
leadership and oversight, including through
the election of the Board of Directors and
appointment of independent auditors. The Board
of Directors is made up of five
people, including the executive director
who serves in an ex-officio capacity. The
Board is responsible for the governance of
HakiElimu, including setting overall policies
and financial/operational guidelines, supervision
of program implementation, and appointment
of the senior management team. Board directors
normally serve for a renewable term of two
years. Currently three of the five board members,
including the Chairperson, are women.

| Organizational
Culture |
| The HakiElimu
mission affirms the values of democratic governance,
human rights, gender equity and meaningful
public participation in decision-making. Consistent
with our beliefs and ethics, HakiElimu is
also committed to cultivating an explicit
culture of openness, mutual respect, critical
reflection and learning within the organization.
We strive to practice these values in our
programs, in relations with partners and affiliates
and in internal processes. Where possible
HakiElimu attempts to reach decisions through
a process of consensus that encourages voicing
of dissent and diverse viewpoints.
Our method of operation is open, inclusive,
informal, experimental and creative. At the
same time, we work towards achieving a
clear sense of focus, purpose, strategy
and action. The question of impact - what
difference do we make - is stressed
in all its aspects: relevance, scale, quality
and sustainability.
