Collaboration:
In fulfilling our task of promoting the culture of life, we cooperate and collaborate with all organisations and institutions that share our vision within and outside of the country. We work closely with the Tanzania Episcopal Conference, [through the Secretary General and the Executive Secretary of the Lay Apostolate Department] and Dioceses in carrying out our mission and fulfilling our vision. We also work with other Christian denominations and religions in areas where such cooperation is deemed important and necessary. We cooperate with the government in all aspects that deal with protection, defense and promotion of human life, marriage and family. Whenever possible, we cooperate with civil and secular NGO's on matters of common concern, provided that our cooperation does not jeopardise our mission.
