FOREwORD FROM THE BISHOP OF SINGIDA
“The spirit of the Lord is on me, for he has anointed me to bring good news to the afflicted. He has sent me to bring liberty to captives, sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim a year of favour from the Lord” (Lk 4:18-19).
The main focus of this Strategic Plan, which is pastoral in nature according to the church mission, is to “go out to the whole world, proclaim the Gospel to all creation.” (Mk 16:15). It is a beacon which guides us in our reflections on spiritual, pastoral, social and economic dimensions. It is an important tool which enables us to build upon our past, look critically into the present and for charting our future.
The pastoral strategic plan is intended to promote integral human development, unity and love, communion and participation of all people of God in the Vision, Mission and Values of the Diocese. It has evolved through sharing, dialogue and involvement of stakeholders in the Diocese.
Strategic Plan 2017 - 2021
Diocese of Singida 8
It is therefore our Pastoral Strategic Plan which is to be owned and implemented by all people of God in our Diocese.
Our Pastoral Strategic Plan is an invitation to reach out to the people, to go out to others in order to reach the fringes of humanity. It is a wake-up call to open our hearts and indeed to be at the service of all humanity regardless of religious affiliations. “For in Christ there is neither a Jew nor a Greek…for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Gal 3:28).
Pope Francis puts this very well, “I prefer a Church which is bruised, hurting and dirty because it has been out on the streets rather than a Church which is unhealthy from being confined and from clinging to its own security…” (Evangelii Gaudium No 49). I believe this Pastoral Strategic Plan will strengthen faith, promote unity and love, inspire and animate all agents of evangelization in the Diocese to work together to implement our Vision, Mission and Values embedded herewith.
I pray that Singida Diocese continues to be a “Sound tree which produces good faith.” (Mt.7:17)Mary Queen of Peace, Pray for us.

Acknowledgements
God’s Salvific Plan needs to be translated into words and implemented in actions. The Strategic Plan is one of the demands and requirements of the times in which we live. With the grace of God we have finally accomplished the completion of this document. We acknowledge the indispensable role played by Rt. Rev. Edward Mapunda Bishop of Singida in bringing this project to fruition. We thank our benefactors who funded the whole process of preparing this plan.
In a special way we acknowledge the technical work done by the team of experts from St. Augustine University of Tanzania (SAUT) especially Mr. Ponsian Ntui, Mr. Samwel Mseti, Dr. Adelardus Kilangi and their colleagues. The team worked hard from the initial stage to guide various groups1 through seminars thereby, enabling us to set out our priorities which led to this outcome.
1 These groups included parish priests, heads of departments, religious sisters, Leaders of the Laity Councils and associations (parish and diocesan level) heads of institutions, government officials and invitees from other religions and denominations, and finally the highest consultative organ of the diocese that is Pastoral Council who corrected, passed and submitted the plan to the bishop for approval.

Additionally we acknowledge the special efforts of Fr. Charles Kitima, Fr. Bernard Ngalya, Fr. Oliver O’Brien and Mr. Baltazari Sungi whose expertise and experience facilitated the whole itinerary of the project.
We once again thank the bishop for his personal participation which contributed much to minimize the administrative process of preparing this final document. Without mentioning names we thank all, who in one way or another assisted in making this Pastoral Strategic Plan to materialize.
We have learned that from the beginning God had a plan revealed in the account of creation, Gen 1: 1-31. This Divine plan of salvation was fully revealed in the person and works of Jesus Christ who himself worked strategically as can be clearly seen in the gospel story. When the time came He sent his disciples to make known and realize the plan of His Father, Mt. 28:18-20. The church continues this mission of the Lord. This Gospel, as Pope St. John Paul II says, “must be translated into pastoral initiatives adapted to the circumstances of each community.”1 This Strategic Plan reveals the commitment of the people of God in Singida Diocese, Tanzania, to continue the mission of Jesus Christ for the integral salvation of mankind.
Fr. Lyimu Francis, Vicar General January 2017
1 “With its universal and indispensable provisions, the programme of the Gospel must continue to take root, as it has always done, in the life of the Church everywhere. It is in the local churches that the specific features of a detailed pastoral plan can be identified — goals and methods, formation and enrichment of the people involved, the search for the necessary resources — which will enable the proclamation of Christ to reach people, mould communities, and have a deep and incisive influence in bringing Gospel values to bear in society and culture.” NOVO MILLENNIO INEUNTE n. 29

Executive Summary
This strategic plan for Singida Catholic Diocese is a product of the inputs from a five days workshop (7th – 11st September, 2016) involving key players of the diocese, including the Vicar General, diocesan departmental leaders, Parish Priests, Religious Congregations, Institutional leaders (from diocesan seminaries, schools, health centres and hospitals) and Parishioners.
The inputs obtained from participants based on their experience and the current diocesan development plan helped in identifying the gaps to be addressed in the 2017-2021 pastoral strategic plan. Some of the key changes made to the existing diocesan development plan involved diocesan vision, mission, values and strategic directions.
This strategic plan focuses on; effective evangelization, strengthening church leadership and governance, human resources development, quality social service provision, use of technology, all driven by a commitment to justice and peace. The strategic plan further focuses on the proper utilization of natural and physical resources for socio-economic development. In total this strategic plan has eight strategic goals to be addressed in the next five years.
Implementation of this strategic plan shall be monitored and evaluated to determine how well it has been implemented. This will involve ongoing communication between the Diocese and the implementing units through visits, frequent meetings, tailor-made evaluations and formal joint activities. The implementation of the strategic plan is in five years with midterm and terminal evaluations.

Geographical Location of the Diocese
The Catholic Diocese of Singida was created on March 25th 1972 from Mbulu and Dodoma dioceses. Singida is part of the dry, semi-arid savannah plateau of central Tanzania. It is situated between latitudes 30520 and 70340 south of Equator and between longitudes 330270 and 350260 east of Greenwich. The diocese covers an area of 49,341 square kilometers. The central railway line, now being upgraded to standard guage, runs through the middle of the territory with important stations at Manyoni and Itigi. The eastern arm of the Great Rift Valley is on both sides of the territory. The neighboring regions are: East and South East -Dodoma (Archdiocese of Dodoma and Diocese Kondoa), North-East -Manyara (Diocese of Mbulu), North and North-West Shinyanga (Diocese of Shinyanga and Archdiocese of Tabora), West and South-West-Tabora (Archdiocese of Tabora) and South- Mbeya and Iringa (Dioceses of Mbeya and Iringa). The diocese is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Dodoma.
There is always a temptation of identifying the diocese with the regional boundaries. However the diocese is a little bit larger than the region for its ecclesiastical territory includes parts of Manyara, Dodoma and Tabora. There are five political districts in the diocese namely: Singida, Iramba, Mkalama, Ikungi, and Manyoni. The regional office which is also diocesan head office stands at the distance of 720 km from Dar es Salaam (via Dodoma); 240 km from Dodoma the capital city of Tanzania and 336km from Arusha.
Population
According to 2012 census, the population of Singida region was 1,348,523 out of which 170,318 (12.6%) is Catholics. The density of population is higher in Singida, Iramba and Ikungi districts compared to Manyoni and Mkalama. Most people live in villages. However, there is growing migration to district towns and other administrative centres or townships such as Makiungu, Iguguno, Mtinko, Ilongero, Misigiri, Itigi, Mitundu, Kintinku, Nkonko, Shelui and Chikuyu just to mention some of them.
Strategic Plan 2017 - 2021
Diocese of Singida 14
EthnicityWithout overlooking the mixed ethnic urban communities, traditional ethnic groups found in the diocese are; Wanyiramba, Wanyisanzu, Wanyaturu, Wagogo, and Wataturu. Others are; Wasandawi, Wakimbu, Wahadzabe, Wabarbaig, Wasukuma and Wairaqw. Although each ethnic group has its own language, Swahili is widely spoken. Relatively few speak English; about 98% of the people are agriculturalists and pastoralists. Traders, technicians and administrators form about 2% of the population. Chief food crops are maize, millet (finger and pearl) and sorghum, sweet potatoes, cassava and rice. Cash crops are tobacco, groundnuts, sunflower, cotton and some grapes.
Singida (Diocesan Headquarters) is at an altitude of 1541 meters above sea level. Iramba descends to 1091metres. The highest wind velocity in the country is recorded in Singida (Kititimo) hence the great potential of wind generated power which is a distinct possibility for the future. Singida Region is part of the semi-arid centre of Tanzania with an average annual rainfall of 600mm. November to April is the rainy season period, typically with the short rains before Christmas followed by the long rains in the new year. From time to time there is a high enough risk of low, inadequate rains which invariably brings serious consequences for agriculture, at this point in time only minimal use is made of irrigation.
EvangelizationThe first missionary evangelizers were the Missionaries of Africa who landed in Makiungu parish at a place known as Kimbwi (presently a pilgrimage centre) in 1908. They evangelized the central and northern part of the diocese while the present Manyoni district was first evangelized by the Passionist Fathers based in Dodoma.
Later in 1940’s the Pallottine Fathers came. At the same time the first congregation of sisters, the Medical Missionaries of Mary began their medical apostolate at Makiungu with unbroken service right up to the present moment. Other missionary institutions both of women and men, at different stages came to evangelize and assist with the provision of social services, particularly health and education in the diocese.

Achievements It has been stated that, the number of Catholic Christians increased from zero in 1908 up to178, 205 in 2016 which is 12.4% of the entire population of the region.
Between its erection in 1972 till now, the diocese has achieved a lot including: an increase to 24 parishes from 8, apostolic associations increased from 2 to 18, the number of diocesan Priests has increased up to 70 from 4, Religious sisters from 10 to 504. There are 464 Catechists and 287 minor seminarians.
The diocese renders varied social services including education, health, clean water and sanitation and charitable care through: 23 kindergarten schools, 8 Primary schools, 7 secondary schools, 2 Vocational training centres, 3 Seminaries (2 Minor and 1 preparatory seminary), 1 College for training teachers, 1 Catechetical training centre. Also there are 4 Hospitals, 3 Health centres, 9 Dispensaries, 7 Counseling centres, 1 Nursing College, 6 centres for serving the needy, the aged and disabled people, The diocese has made available water supply by installing wind mills in several areas especially in Manyoni district.
As a general focus, since 1972, the diocese of Singida has endeavored to enhance integral evangelization. Through its development department, the diocese has been sensitizing people on the importance of self sustenance economy. Importance is given to the increase of households’ food and cash incomes through better use of knowledge and skills. Self help initiatives to meet required needs have been emphasised at community level.
Challenges The diocese has been facing a number of challenges in both the areas of religious and human development, some of them being:
Unproportional increase of faithful in relation to the clergy: The harvest is plenty but the harvesters are few. Increased number of sects which takes or influence many of our faithful to join their ranks.
Strategic Plan 2017 - 2021
Diocese of Singida 16
Poverty: Many of our faithful live in poor conditions. They cannot afford decent housing or even basic health and education services for their children. Some face food insecurity especially when the rains fail because there is still far too much reliance on subsistence farming.
Lack of sustainable income in the diocese which results in donor dependency.
Globalization: Failure of communities to realize that globalization has an adverse effect on both religious and cultural values despite its advantages. This is clearly indicated by decline in families and institutions commitment to formation.
Double faith: several faithful live a life characterized by a mixture of modern secularism, outmoded traditional mores and Christian faith. As a result there are tendencies of syncretism among individual Christians.
The Consultative ProcessThe planning process of this Pastoral strategic plan started by inviting the key players of the Diocese of Singida (DoS) to a five days workshop (7th
-11th September, 2016) held at the diocesan Pastoral and Social Training Centre (PSTC). These were; Vicar General, diocesan departmental leaders, Parish Priests, Religious Congregations, Institutional (diocesan seminaries, schools, health centres and hospitals) leaders, and Parishioners in the assessments and analysis of socio-pastoral issues. The workshop was facilitated by two lecturers from St. Augustine University of Tanzania (SAUT)-Mwanza campus. The focus of this workshop was to equip participants with the necessary knowledge and skills on how to prepare a strategic plan for their respective areas.
The process entailed engaging different people both as individuals and in groups with different stakes, interests and backgrounds who provided information on their present and projected perceptions of the integral socio-economic and pastoral development efforts of the diocese in relation to its vision and mission. The groups involved were formed based on their functional similarities.
Strategic Plan 2017 - 2021
Diocese of Singida 17
For example, people from the health discipline formed their own group, likewise priests, religious men and women, participants from schools, parishes and the lay apostolate; all of them formed their respective groups. The deliberations of these detailed discussions from the groups were presented in plenary session and some improvements, changes, additions etc. were made as deemed necessary.
Strategic FocusThis strategic plan focuses on; pastoral matters, human resources development, service provision, governance, justice and peace, and lay apostolate. The strategic plan in the next five years shall address eight strategic goals agreed during the workshop as presented under the logical framework below. More details are attached at the end of the documents (ref Annex 1,2,3,4 and 5).
Governance and ManagementSince its creation in 1972, Singida diocese has been under the leadership of three bishops as follows:a) Rt. Rev. Edward Mapunda (April 28, 2015, to date).b) Rt. Rev. Desiderius Rwoma (April 19, 1999 to April 28, 2015).c) Rt. Rev. Bernard Mabula (March 25, 1972 to April 19, 1999). Administratively, the diocese is divided into three (3) deaneries which are further divided into 24 parishes. The diocese has 12 departments which run the day to day activities of the constitutive sectors of the pastoral, socio-economic programme, namely:
i. Financeii. Pastoraliii. Liturgyiv. Caritasv. Developmentvi. Education
vii. Healthviii. Communicationix. Pontifical Mission Societiesx. Lay Apostolatexi. Youth Apostolatexii. Catechesis

Justice and Peacev. Family and Marriage vi. Canon lawvii. Theology viii. Migrationix. Evangelization and enculturation
The EconomyTanzania is one of the world’s poorest economies in terms of per capital income; however, it has achieved high overall growth rates based on gold production and tourism. Tanzania has largely completed its transition to a liberalized market economy, though the government retains a presence in sectors such as telecommunications, banking, energy, and mining. The economy depends on agriculture, which accounts for more than one-quarter of GDP, provides 85% of exports, and employs about 80% of the work force.
Real gross domestic product (GDP) growth was projected at 7% for 2015. From the supply side, the main drivers of growth recently have been several fast growing sectors, such as construction, transport and financial services. Inflation has gradually declined over the past 30 months due to tight monetary policy and falling international energy and food prices. The government faces additional expenditure needs, equivalent to 0.7% of GDP, coming from expenditures carried over from the last five years, payment of government arrears to TANESCO, and additional fiscal space needed for provision of free basic education and expansion of higher education students’ loans program (new presidential initiatives).
Strategic Plan 2017 - 2021
Diocese of Singida 19
The economy of Singida diocese like other parts of Tanzania largely depends on agriculture (both crop production and animal husbandry), commerce and small industries. The food crops grown are millet, sorghum, maize, cassava, sweet potatoes, paddy and beans. Cash crops include sunflower, cotton, finger millet, groundnuts and onions.
Political SituationPolitical stability has provided a solid foundation for Tanzania’s growth, and with its economic prospects, has raised Tanzania’s profile in the region and the world.
However, this reputation has been tested by a series of political hurdles in the lead-up to the country’s October 2015 presidential and parliamentary elections. A referendum on a new constitution scheduled for 30 April 2015 was delayed indefinitely, risking strain to the 51-year old union between the mainland and the semi-autonomous islands of Zanzibar, as calls for the latter’s increased autonomy – sparked by a drawn-out constitutional review process – were left unanswered.
Furthermore, the selection of a presidential candidate for the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) in July 2015 exposed fractures in the party that has dominated Tanzanian politics since independence in 1961. CCM continued its domination of politics with an overwhelming win in the parliamentary elections and with the election of the party’s candidate, Dr John Pombe Magufuli, to the presidency. Magufuli’s win was decisive, but his 59% (against 39% of Edward Lowassa from Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo - CHADEMA) of the vote was the smallest majority in Tanzania’s recent political history. President Magufuli’s popularity has since been bolstered by early action focused on cost-cutting and to hold accountable for poor delivery of public services, but he is yet to negotiate a peaceful solution to the fallout from the annulment in 2015 of the elections in Zanzibar. Singida politics is mainly dominated by three political parties namely CCM, CHADEMA, and Chama cha wananchi (CUF).

Diocese of Singida 56
Implementation The implementation process will take place in the following five areas: i. Diocesan level (Directorates, Departments, Commissions, Councils, and Committees)ii. Deanery Leveliii. Parish and institutions. iv. Outstation level and v. Small Christian Community (grass-root) level
Monitoring and Evaluation
MonitoringImplementation of this Pastoral Strategic Plan will be monitored to determine how well it is being implemented. It will involve o n g o i n g c o m mu n i c a t i o n b e t w e e n t h e D i o c e s e a n d t h e i mp l e m e nt i n g units through visits, frequent meetings, tailor-made evaluations and formal joint activities. A formal monitoring and evaluation system with defined time and applicable tools will be developed to guide the whole process of monitoring, evaluation and reporting.
Implementation envisages team work and joint monitoring. This involves Diocesan Directors for: Pastoral, Finance and Administration, Social Services and Human Dignity, Development and Communications.
EvaluationEvaluation shall take place at all five levels of implementation and will involve; physical visits, sharing of reports, evaluation of reports, and scheduled meetings. This process at all levels will be under respective directorates while evaluation of directorates will be done by the bishop.The directorates shall facilitate periodic monitoring and evaluation sessions aimed at the realization of the Plan. The five year plan will be evaluated twice.
Strategic Plan 2017 - 2021
Diocese of Singida 57
The Bishop’s Office will hold meetings where all Directors, administrators and coordinators will present the implementation progress reports, annually.
At the Diocesan level, directorates, departments, commissions, councils and committees shall hold semi-annual management meetings where activity plans and progress reports will be discussed.
At the deanery level, Institutions, parish organs, out stations and small Christian communities shall organize quarterly meetings to report on the implementation progress.
At the parish level, the Parish teams shall hold monthly debriefing sessions to provide updates on progress of work.
The evaluation plan consists of evaluation studies to be conducted during the strategic plan cycle i.e. description of each study, the evaluation questions, methodology, and the work undertaken by the responsible offices. The studies here and the relevant data obtained are intended to be used for the achievement of the strategic plan.
There should be an implementation committee separate from the monitoring and evaluation team led by an independent person assisted by the diocesan team under the Bishop. The following is the summary of an evaluation plan.

Strategic Plan 2017 - 2021
Diocese of Singida 59
Conclusion
This pastoral strategic plan gives direction to the Diocese for the coming five years (2017-2021). The completion of this strategic plan gives light to all Diocesan units to work in line with the Vision and Mission of the Diocese. The capacity building of some agents of evangelization which started in 2015 adds value to the preparation and implementation of this plan. From this diocesan strategic plan, other units (institutions and parishes) will extract their pastoral strategic plans accordingly. We the Diocese therefore, have to be committed to this strategic thinking and practice to realize our vision. The successful implementation of this plan will therefore make its strategic contribution to both spiritual and socio- economic development of the people of God in their respective areas.
