UNDP is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality and culture. Individuals from minority groups, indigenous groups and persons with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply. All applications will be treated with the strictest confidence.
UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks.
Background
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.
The United Republic of Tanzania is a middle-income country of 59.4 million people (NBS) with women constituting 30.3 million (51.9%) and men 29.1 million (48.9%). The Tanzania Bureau of Statistics in 2020 indicated the country’s annual Gross Domestic Product growth rate was at 4.8 percent and the Per Capita growth at USD 1,157 in 2020. A total 13.9 million people live below the poverty line (HBS, 2017/18). Agriculture remains a major source of livelihood providing an estimated 77 percent of total employment, 26.9 percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and 65 percent of inputs to the industrial sector. Subsistence farming is a source of livelihood for an estimated 80 percent of women, although only 25 percent own land. The feminization of poverty is a real challenge in Tanzania where more than half of the female population (60%) live in extreme poverty, which can be attributed to limited opportunities for participation in the mainstream economy. Men are more likely than women to be employed in the formal sector, with women more likely to be engaged in employment with lower income and less security. There is, additionally, a wide gender gap in the national mean monthly income (USD $120 for men vs. $71.5 for women).
Tanzania is signatory to numerous international and regional human rights conventions and development frameworks, such as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), Protocol of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa, the SADC Protocol on Gender and Development the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa, the African Union Agenda 2063 ‘The Africa We Want’ and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
UN Women’s Tanzania Country Office’s Strategic Note 2017 - 2021 (SN) is a forward-looking programmatic document that translates the UN Women global Strategic Plan 2018-2022 to the country level. The SN outlines the overall strategic direction and plan of action for the UN-Women Tanzania Country office to support efforts to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls, including women’s full enjoyment of their human rights for the years 2017 - 2021. The document also includes a Development Results Framework (DRF) and an Organizational Effectiveness and Efficiency Framework (OEEF) with expected results and targets/ indicators/ baselines. The Tanzania Country Office (CO) Strategic Note (SN) was approved by the Deputy Executive Director of UN Women in 2016. The Tanzania SN will be extended to June 2022 to be in line with the new UNDAP III (UNSDCF), the development strategies of Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar.
As of 2007, Tanzania has been one of eight countries piloting Delivering as One (DaO) initiative of the UN Reform. UN Women as part of the UN System in Tanzania is operating under the UN Development Assistance Plan (UNDAP II) and participating in the development and delivery of joint work plans, joint budgets and common results. UN Women’s program interventions are aligned to the Five Year Development Plan (FYDP) III for Mainland and the Zanzibar Successor Strategy and to United Nations Development Assistance Programme (UNDAP) II and more specifically, with the gender responsive results and targets outlined in the following UNDAP II Thematic Results Outcome Groups: Democratic Governance, Women’s Leadership and Political Participation, Violence against Women and Girls, Inclusive Growth, Resilience, Environment & Climate Change and HIV/AIDS. The Country Programme has adopted three UN Women Flagship Programme Initiatives: Women’s Political Empowerment and Leadership; Prevention and Access to Essential Services to End Violence against Women; and Making Every Women and Girl Count – Supporting the Monitoring and Implementation of the SDGs through Better Production and Use of Gender Statistics. In relation to its normative and coordination role, UN Women continues to promote the accountability of the UN system, supporting the government and mobilizing civil society organizations, private sector and other stakeholders, for the effective and accelerated implementation of the global and regional instruments and commitments to gender equality and the empowerment of women. In the context of the 2030 Agenda of ‘leaving no one behind’, UN Women’s interventions target the most vulnerable groups including rural women, women with albinism, women with disabilities, women pastoralists, and HIV positive women. Through the HeForShe campaign, engaging with men and boys is a cross-cutting issue in all interventions.
Duties and Responsibilities
1. Purpose
Under UN Women’s policies and procedures in relation to programme management, a final evaluation is mandatory in the final year of the Strategic Note.

The primary users of this evaluation are:

The overall objective of the UN Women Tanzania SN evaluation is to assess the UN Women Tanzania’s strategic positioning and the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, coherence, and sustainability of the CO portfolio with reference to the Strategic Note cycle of 2017-2021. This will also provide a basis for distilling lessons which will be used in developing the next Country SN.
Specific objectives of the final evaluation are as follows:
The evaluation will follow a transparent and participatory process. To achieve this, the evaluation methodology will involve all relevant UNW staff in the COs as well as partners and stakeholders at the national level.
