April 18, 2020

Matukio

World Athletics has today launched its Sustainability Strategy, which has a central goal of making the organisation carbon neutral by 2030. The strategy addresses global issues that pose a threat to the quality of our lives, using the power of sport and athletics to create a better world for communities.

The organisation will embrace sustainability principles and practices within its operations, its Member Federations and the organisation of future World Athletics Series events.

The ten-year strategy is designed to deliver tangible benefits across environmental, social and economic sustainability.

Among its commitments, World Athletics will reduce its carbon output by ten percent each year, switch to 100 percent renewable energy at its headquarters this year, introduce a sustainable procurement code and travel policy and develop best practice guides for its 214 Member Federations and its event organisers.

The strategy is divided into six pillars, each of which contain actions and targets for the organisation to pursue.

Some of the key components are:

Leadership in sustainability

• Produce best practice guides for Member Federations and World Athletics Series event organisers
• Embed sustainability principles in permit and licensing programmes
• Align and embed sustainability goals into partnership agreements
• Identify and engage our partners around the sustainability programme

Sustainable production and consumption

• At headquarters, switch to 100 percent renewable energy
• Implement comprehensive waste management system targeting reduction and reuse
• Embed responsible procurement for all World Athletics activities and sanctioned events

Climate change and carbon

• Reduce carbon footprint by ten percent each year to reach goal of carbon neutrality by 2030
• Implement a sustainable travel policy reducing travel and building local capacity
• All sanctioned events to commit to carbon neutrality targets

Local environment and air quality

• Working with partners, establish low emission zones around athletics arenas
• Maximise local economic impact around events by supporting local businesses
• Develop a toolkit for improving air quality.
• Air quality targets to be understood, set and monitored to protect runners and athletes
• Air quality emissions to be included in equipment and venue standards.

Global equality

• All geographic areas to have recognised opportunity pathways for both genders in all professions in athletics across athletes, coaches, technical officials, administrators
• Build gender capacity with annual female leadership seminars conducted in all Areas

Diversity, accessibility and wellbeing

• Protect athlete welfare with standardised basic health checks for all athletes before they compete in international events.
• Ensure headquarters and other facilities are fully accessible
• Ensure diverse workforce and fair treatment of staff and those working at and on our events, and for our suppliers and partners

World Athletics president Sebastian Coe said it was important for the organisation to make a commitment to a better future for coming generations.

“In the modern world, it has become apparent that our athletes and fans expect more from us than good governance of our sport. They also expect us to be a good global citizen, to take a leadership role in issues that affect the wider world and their communities. Sustainability is one of the great global challenges. We want to do our part to make this a better world and contribute to a cleaner, greener, more equitable future for everyone.

“We started on this path a couple of years ago when we made a commitment to assist the global campaign for improved air quality, and began installing air quality monitors in stadiums around the world, but it’s time for us to do more and I’m delighted to launch this roadmap for our organisation and our sport over the next decade. We have already ticked one item off the list, by switching to 100 percent renewable energy at our headquarters this year, and our ambition is to be a leader in organising sustainable events as we go forward.”

Mwanariadha nyota wa Tanzania, Alphonce Simbu.

Na Mwandishi Wetu
SUALA la Riadha Tanzania (RT) kutaka kuengua jina na mwanariadha nyota wa Tanzania, Alphonce Simbu limeingia sura mpya baada ya Serikali kuingilia kati.
Katika siku za hivi karibuni Katibu Mkuu wa RT, Wilhelm Gidabuday amekuwa akisisitiza kuwa mwanariadha huyo hatakwenda katika Michezo ya Jumuiya ya Madola itakayofanyika Gold Coast, Australia Aprili.


Mkurugenzi wa Maendeleo nchini, Dk Yusuph Singo alisema jana kwa njia ya simu kutoka Dodoma kuwa, ameamua kuwaita Simbu, Gidabuday na Katibu Mkuu wa TOC, Filbert Bayi ili kupata ukweli wa jambo hilo.


Singo akizungumza na gazeti hili kutoka Dodoma alisema kuwa amekuwa akisikia uvumi wa taarifa hizo, lakini anapojaribu kuwaliza RT anaambiwa wamenukuliwa vibaya.


Mkurugenzi wa Michezo nchini, Dk Yusuph Singo.

Hatahivyo, mkurugenzi alisema kuwa anajua kuna kitu kinafichwa, hivyo ameamua kuitisha kikao mara moja kati ya watu hao ili kupata ukweli halisi.


Alisema kikao hicho kinaweza kufanyikia jijini Dar es Salaam au Dodoma kutegemea na nafasi yake (Dk Singo).


Alisema kuwa akimpigia simu Gidabuday anapata jibu tofauti kwani anasema waandishi wamemnukuu vibaya na akipiga kwa wengine anapata jibu tofauti, “hivyo nimeamua kuwaita kupata ukweli kamili.”


Juzi Gidabuday alisema kuwa Kamati ya Ufundi ya RT ilikutana kwadharura jijini Dar es Salaam na kuamu kutoa jina la Simbu katika orodha ya majina ya wanariadha watakaoshiriki Michezo ya Jumuiya ya Madola.


Alisema wameamua hivyo ili kumuwezesha mchezaji huyo kupumzika na kujiandaa kwa ajili ya London Marathon zitakazofanyika London, Uingereza Aprili ili kujipatia fedha.

Katibu Mkuu TOC, Filbert Bayi.

Alisema mwanariadha huyo atawakilisha taifa katika mashindano ya dunia ya riadha yatakayofanyika Doha mwakani na yale ya Olimpiki Tokyo, Japan 2020, ili kulipatia taifa medali za dhahabu.


Gidabuday alisema Simbu amekimbia mashindano mengi ya kuliwakilisha taifa, ambayo yana presha kubwa, sasa anahitaji kupumzika na kukimbia mashindano ya mwaliko kama London Marathon.



Hivi karibuni Katibu Mkuu wa TOC, Filbert Bayi alisema kuwa wao kama waratibu wa michezo hiyo, hawana taarifa na kutolewa kwa jina la Simbu na kuitaka RT kupeleka barua TOC kama kweli wanataka kuliondoa jina hilo.

MWANARIADHA wa kimataifa wa Tanzania, Alphonce Simbu kesho Jumatatu atapanda pipa kwenda Afrika Kusini akiwa njiani kwenda Uingereza, ambako atashiriki London Marathon Jumapili ijayo Aprili 23.

Simbu anapitia Afrika Kusini kwa ajili ya kupatiwa viza ya dharura ya kuingia Uingereza baada ya kuikosa ile ya kawaida jijini Dar es Salaam.

Katibu Mkuu wa Riadha Tanzania (RT), Wilhelm Gidabuday alisema jana kuwa, Simbu ataondoka kesho Jumatatu kwenda Afrika kusini kushughulikia viza ya kuingia Uingereza kabla ya kwenda nchini humo ambako Jumapili atashiriki London Marathon.

Simbu alifuzu kwa mbio hizo baada ya kumaliza katika nafasi ya tano katika Michezo ya Olimpiki iliyofanyika Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 2016 kabla ya kushinda mbio za Mumbai Marathon.

Kwa mujibu wa Gida, tayari mwanariadha huyo ameingia katika orodha ya wanariadha bora kabisa duniani na ndio maana waandaaji wa London Marathon kuna fedha atapewa mara tu atakapoanza mbio hizo (Appearance Fees).

Gidabuday alisema kuwa Simbu hata kama hatashinda mbio hizo lakini akimaliza tu amejihakikishia fungu nono na kama akimaliza, basi ataondoka na maelfu ya dola za Marekani.

Simbu endapo atashinda mbio hizo za London Marathon ataondoka na kitita cha dola za Marekani 55,000 kama zaidi yash Milioni 150, na kama atafanikiwa kuvunja rekodi ataongezewa dola za Marekani 25,000 (ikiwa ni zaidi ya sh Mil 50),

Mshindi wa kwanza hadi wa 12 wa mbio hizo ataondoka na kitita cha fedha, huku wale watakaokimbia muda bora bbila kujali kama umevunja rekodi ya njia au ya dunia, nao wataongezewa fedha za bonasi.

Arusha — Athletics Tanzania (AT) may be the first national sports association to shift its head offices from Dar es Salaam to the designated capital Dodoma, according to its recently elected secretary general, Wilhelm Gidabuday.

The body is already in contact with the Capital Development Authority (CDA), a government institution in charge of infrastructure development in Dodoma, to secure a plot for construction of its headquarters. "We need a plot for our permanent home. After securing it, we will apply for a grant to meet the cost of construction," he told The Citizen here on Monday during an interview on a wide range of issues

He said AT president Anthony Mtaka, who doubles as the Simiyu regional commissioner, has been in touch with CDA officials over the issue.

"After getting the plot, we will seek a title deed we will use as collateral to secure a loan for the project," he said, noting that they will approach the social security institutions for financial support.

Gidabuday, a former national athlete and until recently, a coordinator of various athletics promotion programmes, was elected the new AT secretary general early this month.

He succeeded Suleiman Nyambui who is now an athletics coach in Brunei, a South East Asia sultanate.

He said he would address the major challenges facing the association, including lack of office accommodation that merits its status, working equipment and competent staff for its secretariat.

"We need a modern, spacious and well equipped office which will suffice all our administrative needs," he said, noting that AT, which is one of the oldest sports associations in the country, currently does not have an office that meets its requirements.

"Presently, I can dare say, we have no clear office. There is a room near the Uhuru Stadium, but it's in poor shape," he said, adding that he would fight for a comfortable office space in Dar es Salaam before the Dodoma project is realised.

The long-term plan is to construct the multi-purpose building in Dodoma which will be known as Riadha Tanzania House. Besides serving as the permanent home for AT, some rooms would be rented out to other institutions.

However, Gidabuday insisted that their dreams for a permanent home would depend on support from the government, especially the ministry responsible for sports, CDA, the National Sports Council (NSC) as well as the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF), a governing body for the athletics in the world headquartered in Monaco.
