 Red is unfolding very slowly in Tanzania like many other countries in Africa and Tanzania is still forming up all these institutions and laws. They don't have it something on the paper or how they are going to work with red, how they are going to implement projects. Most of the funding is coming from donor support from the Norwegian support on red and is implemented I think in about nine sites in Tanzania or nine called NGOs, nine government organizations and the government side they develop what they call the national red strategy and has gone through several stages I'm sure by now so they keep reviewing it to the point where they'll come up to the final document and then maybe move forward with other things. I joined CFO three months ago but at that time CFO had already collected data what they called baseline data last year and these were data household data women survey data, village data and proponent some of the more baseline stuff where before the red has actually been started implemented last year and this year I came on board to first take over on what they call survey project implementation phase two after the baseline trying to find out what is happening on the implementation side talking to proponents and asking all sorts of questions on how they are going to calculate reference labels what's the perceptions of red and opinions of different people critics, government officials and then figuring out from the village meetings where are they with red what they've done so far from all the process of FPEC to whether they've done set up the carbon monitoring plots and the like. Well the experience has been great to me I call it a occurrence of buying something to me it's an exchange just like in Brazil but in Tanzania it's the same we are the first or CFO is the first organization ever to go back to finding research they said what are you crazy we've never seen somebody bring back the results I mean what is that for we don't even know what to do with it and then at the begin they were like wow listen it's interesting we like to hear more can you ask other people to come and present their findings and I'm like I can't control what other people are doing but this is CFO way of doing business and we're going to probably continue with this atmosphere of returning the findings and to me it was more easy to ask more questions after presenting the findings and it can be any better it depends on whether it's rained you need 4x4 Tanzania in most part of the area but you just go there arrange meeting inform the government the village leaders but you are intending to come and what's your intention and now explain more a little bit that you're going to present the findings the findings are going to be from the previous study you're not seeking any new answers or something like that you're thinking to just give that back as a token of appreciation to them and you go and call up a village meeting most of the time we get help from what they call the village executive officer arranging all the people and you get this big meeting where everybody is not expecting to see you there and then at the begin the atmosphere is very cool but once you finish you actually realise that they were interested because there's rain of questions coming and people really wanted to know more about SIFO about what they're doing what is red about the findings we've found and whether they're useful what we're going to do with the data in the future so all sorts of things and to me they were more interested sometimes they sing you a song they ask even about the crack a joke and it has been a really easy atmosphere to go back to especially when you're defining before asking new questions you be as simple as possible I can talk about all the jagans and all the acronyms at SIFO but I really simplify when I'm at the village and that's the key you probably don't mention percentage when you're presenting data you just say majority and give an estimate of something a closer estimate of what you want to say and that's the villagers understands more than just figures and numbers and you have to be very careful with that the simplicity is what matters there
