Samwely is well-oriented in development issues, especially on public accountability monitoring, tax, human rights, youth, and is an expert on policy analysis and engagement on various issues related to governance, advocacy, and development. I have experience in voluntary work in education, teaching, youth mobilisation and development, which has created a vital scenery in working with local communities both nationally and internationally. I have experience in managing multi-country projects on human rights, governance and tax. I have dedicated my life to making sure that the well-being of ordinary citizens, especially youth and marginalised groups, is realised. I am currently working as Program Officer – Policy Analysis with Policy Forum (PF). My role is to coordinate policy analysis and advocacy specifically on tax and budget.

I have worked with various civil society organisations (CSOs) within and outside Tanzania. These include networks, coalitions and trade unions. I have experience in partnership building and partnership development. Proposal writing, partnership appraisals, and organisational capacity assessment are some of my routine obligations.
