Tanzania 2017 Gender and Youth Fact Sheet

USAID/Tanzania’s gender equality and youth inclusion project, or Tumaini (“Hope” in Kiswahili), serves the critical unifying role of integrating gender equality, women’s empowerment, and youth inclusion across a broad range of USAID activities. USAID’s activities in these areas focus on strengthening the national-level enabling environment for women and youth, increasing the promotion of women’s equality and youth inclusion at the local government and community levels, and ensuring that Tanzanian women and youth are healthier, better educated, and more productive. Tumaini encompasses activities focused on youth empowerment in agriculture, providing friendly and accessible health services, ensuring girls enroll in and complete secondary school, and integrating human rights and social inclusion programming.
