Background
In
2017, the UN system in Tanzania embarked on area-based joint
programming through the launching of the UN Kigoma Joint Programme
(KJP). The KJP cuts across multiple sectors and aims to contribute to
the Government’s efforts in improving development and human security in
the Kigoma region. The programme, involves 17 different UN Agencies and
was developed in cooperation with the regional secretariat and district
authorities, based on the development needs of Kigoma and the
comparative advantages of the UN in Tanzania.
By
supporting the host population as well as refugees and migrants, the
programme forms part of the New Way of Working (NWOW). It focuses on
joint analysis, planning and interventions to achieve common outcomes
that reduce risks and vulnerabilities, and contributes to a future in
which no one is left behind. The humanitarian-development nexus is
supported by linking together the UN’s existing response to refugees and
migrants with an increased focus on development for host communities.
The
17 participating UN agencies are cooperating across 7 themes which are:
Sustainable energy and environment; Youth and women’s economic
empowerment; Ending violence against women and children; Education with a
focus on girls and young women; WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene);
Agriculture with a focus on developing local markets; and Health, HIV
and Nutrition
The
KJP is embedded in UNDAP II, the UN Development Assistance Plan for
Tanzania, as well as the Sustainable Development Goals and the Great
Lakes Regional Framework strategy. It is aligned with the Tanzania
Government’s 5-year plan and the regional priorities for Kigoma.
The
UN Area Coordinator (UNAC) coordinates development interventions
carried out by UN Agencies under Kigoma Joint Programme in the Region.
He/she represents the UN, and specifically the UN Resident Coordinator
and UN Country Management Team, on development issues in the region.
He/she reports to the UN RCO team Leader with a second reporting line to
the UN Thematic Results Group Chairperson on Resilience, where the
programme is hosted.
