Community Sustainable Energy Enterprises Services (COSEESEs) – Means of Developing Sustainable Modern Energy Initiatives and Reducing Poverty in Rural Areas.
On 8 August 2009, TaTEDO in collaboration with VICOBA Sustainable Development Agency (VSDA) opened a Community Based Organization (CBO) for developing Sustainable Modern Energy Services at Wari-Machame, Hai District in Kilimanjaro Region. This is one of CBOs established for developing sustainable modern energy and other development issues at Wari in Hai District, Kilimanjaro Region.

The villages received those services from TaTEDO include Wari and Udaru villages in Hai district, Kitasha and Mamsera villages in Rombo district and Kirya and Kisangara villages in Mwanga district.

The year 2008 was the beginning of implementing sustainable modern energy activities according to the new TaTEDO strategic plan (2008–2012). On the basis of TaTEDO’s functional areas, growing demand has been observed in capacity building, governance, policy dialogue, information dissemination, research and consultancies.
