Fifty five representatives of Civil Society Organisations attended a national consultative meeting in Dar es Salaam from the 18^th to 19^th of January, 2010 to discuss the MKUKUTA review studies results that will be used to inform on the next drafting of MKUKUTA II.

The objectives of the workshop aimed at enabling CSOs representatives attending the workshop to be well informed on the status, content and direction of the MKUKUTA review and drafting process and how they can continue to engage, as well as get an understanding of the content, findings and recommendations of the MKUKUTA review studies and latest reports from the MKUKUTA Monitoring system (MDGR, PHDR, MAIR etc). It was also an opportunity for them to give feedback and inputs to the drafting team in relation to the findings and recommendations and become equipped with information to share with their constituencies in preparation for the consultation on Draft 1 of the document.

This report summarises the sequence of presentations given, discussions and inputs of the three clusters and the cross-cutting issues of MKUKUTA; recommendations from the delegates on how they will take the process forward and finally the general evaluation on how the facilitators and the participants perceived the workshop, pointing out areas for improvement.
