Background

Tanzania aspires to become a middle-income country by 2025 through a push for
increased industrialization for economic transformation and human development.
In doing so, the government underlines the importance of good governance and
the rule of law, as well as peace and stability, in creating wealth and
sharing benefits, emphasizing that people must be empowered to hold leaders
and public servants accountable for their performance Tanzania Development
Vision 2025. In working with Tanzania to achieve this aspiration, the UN
combined, and UNDP as the main agency in this outcome, brings a strong record
of supporting the country to improve democratic governance, through
specialized expertise and international good practices and networks.

The United Nations Development Assistance Plan UNDAP II is a successor
business plan of 20 UN agencies, funds and programmes in Tanzania for the
period 2016-2021. The five-year plan supports the achievement of the
international development goals including the Sustainable Development Goals
SDGs, national development priorities including the FYDP II, and the
realization of international obligations including human rights, UPR and
Treaty body recommendations. The programme focuses on strengthening country
systems, policies and processes for the fulfilment of human rights and pro-
poor growth. Four Thematic Results Groups TRGs have been established
including on Sustainable and equitable Growth; Democratic Governance, Human
Rights and Gender Equality; Healthy Nation and Resilience. In addition, there
is the Zanzibar Coordination Group. The TRGs are the interagency groups
responsible for the coordination of the implementation of the agreed twelve
12 UNDAP II outcomes. The Governance TRG has three Outcome groups namely;

Democratic Governance, human rights and gender equality led by UNDP
Women’s political participation and leadership led by UNWOMEN

UNDP is leading the Outcome group on Democratic Governance, Human Rights and
Gender Equality. Each Outcome Group is a UN Forum for Discussion and

dialogue structure, for e.g. DPGs; Developing UN joint response of critical
issues relevant to the outcome group; Promoting Joint efforts implementation,

deliberations. The UNDAP II Democratic Governance, Human Rights and Gender
Equality Outcome group consists of focal persons from ten 8 participating UN
Agencies, including the ILO, IOM, UN Women, UNDP, UNESCO, UNFPA, UNICEF and
OHCHR.

In addition to supporting the implementation of the UNDAP II, UNDP’s

Sustainable Development that promotes, among others, the realization of human
rights of all and emphasizes the need to promote gender equality, reduce
factors perpetuating inequalities, promote peaceful and inclusive societies
