Sudan Kusini yaipa shavu RT, Simbu Balozi mpya JICA

NA TULLO CHAMBO, RT

MASHINDANO Maalum ya Riadha ya Wanawake nchini Tanzania maarufu kama Ladies First, yamezidi kufungua ushirikiano wa mchezo huo kimataifa.

Ladies First ikiwa ni wazo la Nguli wa Riadha nchini Tanzania, Kanali mstaafu Juma Ikangaa, imefanyika mwaka huu ukiwa ni msimu wa nne na kushirikisha mikoa 30 Kati ya 31 Tanzania Bara na Visiwani.

Mwaka huu, mashindano hayo yalifanyika January 21 na 22 kwenye Uwanja wa Benjamin Mkapa jijini Dar es Salaam na kushirikisha zaidi ya wanariadha 186.

Kanali Mstaafu Ikangaa, ambaye enzi zake aliiwakilisha vema Tanzania kimataifa katika mbio za marathoni, ikiwemo nchini Japan, nchi hiyo imekuwa ikimuenzi na kumpa heshima kubwa ambapo hivi sasa ni Balozi wa Hiari wa Shirika la Maendeleo la Kimataifa la Japan (JICA).

Katika kumuenzi Kanali Ikangaa, Japan ilimtaka kusema kitu ambacho nchi hiyo iifanyie Tanzania, ndipo kwa kushirikiana na wadau wake mbalimbali, akaja na wazo la kuwaenzi na kuhamasisha wanawake kushiriki katika mchezo wa Riadha, hasa ikizingatiwa medali ya kwanza ya kimataifa Tanzania ililetwa na Mwanamke Theresia Dismas mwaka 1964, katika michezo ya All Africa nchini Congo Brazzaville, kupitia mchezo wa Kurusha Mkuki 'Javelin'.

Wazo hilo lilianza kutekelezeka mwaka 2017 kwa mashindano yaliyofanyika Uwanja wa Taifa, sasa Benjamin Mkapa jijini Dar es Salaam, ambapo baadhi ya washindi wamekuwa wakipata nafasi ya kwenda kushiriki mbio za Nagai City nchini Japan.

Katibu Mtendaji wa Baraza la Michezo la Taifa Tanzania (BMT), Bi. Neema Msitha, aliipongeza JICA na kampuni mbalimbali za Kijapan zinazofanya kazi nchini, Kanali Ikangaa,serikali ya Tanzania na Shirikisho la Riadha Tanzania (RT), kwa kufanikisha mashindano hayo kwa msimu wa nne sasa.

Bi. Msitha, anasema mashindano hayo yalianza mwaka 2017 na kufanyika kwa mafanikio makubwa miaka mitatu mfululizo hadi 2019 kabla kusitishwa kutokana na sababu mbalimbali ikiwemo janga la UVIKO 19 'Covid 19'.

"Lengo la mashindano haya ni kuhamasisha ushiriki wa watoto wa kike katika michezo hususan Riadha, kutoa fursa kwa wanariadha wa kike kuonyesha vipaji vyao na kuendeleza vipaji vya wanariadha ambao wataiwakilisha nchi katika mashindano ya kitaifa na kimataifa," anasema Bi. Msitha.

Tangu kuanza kwa mashindano hayo mwaka 2017, Wanariadha wa Tanzania na viongozi wao, wamekuwa wakipata nafasi ya kwenda kushiriki Nagai Marathon, ambapo wanariadha akiwemo Angel John Joseph Yumba, Fabian Nelson Sulle, Fabian Joseph, Alphonce Felix Simbu na wengineo wameweza kung'ara.

Mbali na hilo, Ladies First iliweza kuishirikisha nchi ya Sudan Kusini na kushiriki mashindano ya mwaka 2019 jijini Dar es Salaam.

Mwaka huu 2023, Ladies First imezidi kufungua milango katika mchezo wa Riadha Tanzania, ambapo Sudan Kusini iliwakilishwa na viongozi wake mbalimbali akiwemo Katibu Mkuu wa Wizara ya Michezo nchini humo, Peter Baptist, Balozi wa nchi hiyo nchini Tanzania, Deng Abel na wengineo.

Baptist katika salamu zake, mbali na kushukuru na kupongeza Tanzania kwa mashindano hayo, anasema na kwao wana mashindano kama hayo yajulikanayo kama 'Umoja na Amani', yakilenga kutumia michezo kuhamasisha amani na umoja katika Taifa hilo ambalo liliandamwa na vita miongoni mwao kwa miaka kadhaa.

Mwakilishi huyo, anasema katika kuendeleza ushirikiano na Tanzania, wanatoa mwaliko kwa wanariadha wanne waliofanya vizuri katika Ladies First 2023 wa mbio tofauti ukiondoa mita 5000 kwenda Sudan Kusini kushiriki mashindano hayo yanayotarajiwa kufanyika miezi miwili ijayo.

Mbali na fursa hizo zilizojitokeza Ladies First 2023, nyingine ni kwa Mwanariadha anayefanya vema hivi sasa, Mshindi wa Medali ya Fedha Common Wealth Games 2022, Alphonce Simbu, naye kuteuliwa kuwa Balozi wa Hiari JICA, akiungana na Kanali mstaafu Ikangaa.

Haya ni kati ya mafanikio ya Ladies First 2023, na hakika uwajibikaji ukizidi kuongezeka, bila shaka milango zaidi itazidi kufunguka katika medani ya riadha Tanzania.

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.”
