UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the
United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and
girls, the empowerment of women, and the achievement of equality between women
and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights,
humanitarian action and peace and security. UN Women has a universal mandate
that encompasses a normative, an operational/programmatic as well as a
coordination role, all of which are closely linked with its unique structure.
At the core of its mandate, UN Women plays a leading role in supporting
governments in delivering on their gender equality and women’s empowerment
GEWE commitments in the Sustainable Development Goals SDGs. In Tanzania,
UN Women supports strengthening of women’s leadership and meaningful
participation in political and governance systems, women’s economic
empowerment, and ending violence against women and girls to contribute to
tangible differences in their lives.

In Tanzania, UN Women works with other UN agencies within one UN system for
delivery as one, under the overarching United Nations Development Assistance
Plan 2016 – 2022 UNDAP II, which is aligned with and contributes to
Tanzania’s national priorities and commitments. Under the UNDAP Outcome
“Underserved populations in Tanzania benefit from a more gender-responsive,
conducive business environment, with improved opportunities for decent and
productive employment”, UN Women contributes to inclusive and gender-
responsive economic growth by supporting outputs including 1 Relevant MDA
and selected LGAs have strengthened capacities to review and implement
evidence-based economic policies and plans to be business-enabling,
environmentally sustainable and gender – responsive ; 2 Relevant
institutions have enhanced capacities to provide gender-responsive, market-
oriented, quality programmes, products and services ; and 3 Micro, small,
medium and large enterprises, in particular those led by women and youth, have

and access markets . UN Women also supports advocacy initiatives to
increase and improve women’s participation in the economy and activities to
enhance capacities of women and female youth farmers to apply environment-
friendly and adaptive techniques and practices for their livelihood
activities.

In line with the UNDAP II as well as internationally agreed normative
standards, UN Women Tanzania’s Strategic Note SN for the period 2017-2022
lays out the agency’s unique role and comparative advantage in supporting
national stakeholders in advancing gender equality and the empowerment of
women by strengthening women’s leadership and participation in political and
governance systems, gender statistics, implementation of global gender norms
and standards, ending violence against women and girls, and women’s economic
empowerment. To promote women’s economic empowerment including income
security, decent work and economic autonomy, UN Women’s interventions address
policy and strategy-level support including enhancing capacities of policy
makers and Local Government authorities in implementation of policies and
strategies in selected economic sectors; removing financing barriers and
capacitating women to invest in climate smart agriculture; and promoting
opportunities and capacities of women farmers to move up the value chain and
green agricultural supply chains.

Background/Context for required services/results.

To contribute to delivering of the UNDAP II and its aligned Strategic Note of
UN Women Tanzania, in September 2020, UN Women and UNFPA in Tanzania launched
a 3-year Joint Programme, entitled “Realizing Gender Equality through
Empowering Women and Adolescent Girls”, in Ikungi District of Singida Region
and Msalala District of Shinyanga Region by support from the Korea
International Cooperation Agency KOICA.

The Joint Programme supports ongoing efforts and commitment by the Government
of the United Republic of Tanzania, in alignment with the Agriculture Sector
Development Plan ASDP II, National Plan of Action to End Violence Against
Women and Children NPAVAWC 2017/18 – 2021/22, and the Village Land Act to
advance gender equality and end poverty by improving women’s economic
empowerment, agricultural transformation, ending all forms of violence and
harmful practices against women and children, and strengthening village land
use planning.

The objective of the programme is to enhance social and economic status of
women and adolescent girls in both districts by 1 empowering women and
female youth farmers economically; and 2 enhancing the capacity of the sub-
national actors and community to prevent and respond to gender-based violence
GBV, including harmful practices.

The expected results of the programme are

Outcome 1 Women and female youth farmers empowered economically.

-->Output 1.1 Increased capacity of women and female youth farmers to apply Good Agricultural Practice GAP in sunflower and horticulture farming for higher yields.
-->Output 1.2 Increased collective marketing capacity of women and female youth farmers.
-->Output 1.3 Enhanced land tenure security and economic agency of women and female youth within the enabling households and the wider community.

Outcome 2 Enhanced capacity of s ub-national and community to
prevent and respond to Gender Based Violence GBV including harmful
practices.

-->Output 2.1 Strengthened capacities of local institutions and service providers to prevent and respond to gender-based violence including harmful practices.
-->Output 2.2 Women and adolescent girls have the entrepreneurship skills and capabilities to prevent and respond to gender-based violence including harmful practices.

In these two outcome areas, UN Women is responsible for delivery of Outcome
1, largely at Ikungi District in Singida Region and at a smaller scale at
Msalala District in Shinyanga Region, in addition to supporting Police Gender
and Children’s Desks at Ikungi District and Singida Region.

The joint programme is expected to directly benefit about 2,350 adult women
above 24 years old, female youth 15 – 24 years old and adolescent girls
12 – 14 years old in both districts. Among these age groups, UN Women
targets adult women and female youths over 15 years old for their economic
empowerment activities. In addition, a total of 6,000 women and men in four
villages Mnang’ana, Kipumbwiko, Irisya, and Munyu located in Ikungi District
will benefit from the land tenure security intervention that will support the
villages to develop the village land use plans and to acquire Certificates of
Customary Rights of Occupancy CCROs.

At the upstream level, UN Women and UNFPA will collaborate with the Ministry
of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children, President’s
Office – Regional Administration and Local Government PORALG, Ministry of
Land Housing and Human Settlements Development, National Land Use Planning
Commission, Ministry of Agriculture, Tanzania Police Force, and other
stakeholders. At the sub-national level, both agencies will work with the
Ikungi and Msalala District Councils and selected non-government organizations
NGOs.

General Overview of services required/results.

To contribute to achieve Outcome 1 empowering women and female youth farmers
economically, UN Women delivers interventions in three output areas 1
Increased capacity of women and female youth farmers to apply Good
Agricultural Practice GAP in sunflower and horticulture farming for higher
yields; 2 Increased collective marketing capacity of women and female youth
farmers; and 3 Enhanced land tenure security and economic agency of women and
female youth within the enabling households and the wider community. The
theory of change of Outcome 1 is that if their agricultural capacity
including access to and utilization of knowledge, inputs and technologies are
strengthened; if women have improved access to productive resources,
particularly land and finance; and if positive awareness and attitudes on
women’s economic entitlements are enhanced in households and the community ,
women will become empowered economically. The community sensitization will
help achieve the project results by ensuring that community members become
aware on women’s economic rights and shared domestic responsibilities in
issues related to agriculture, land and GBV.
