Background
Tanzania has been a partner country of the Belgian governmental cooperation since 1982. The Country Strategy for the Belgian Bilateral Cooperation Program in Tanzania 2023-2027 was approved on 15th July 2022 by the Belgian Minister of Development Cooperation, with a planned duration of 5 years (2023-2027).
To promote synergy, efficiency and maximize impact, the strategy has a clear geographical focus on selected districts of the Kigoma region.
The general objective of the strategy has been defined as follows: “Young people especially young women, are empowered to thrive in a protective and gender-equal environment, to acquire education and skills, and to pursue decent work opportunities in Kigoma Region”.
The specific objective specifies: “Girls and young women (14 to 29 years), in targeted districts of Kigoma, are empowered through multiple conducive learning pathways to enjoy decent, greener employment and an increased access to entrepreneurship".
The strategy 2023-2027 has initially been built around three thematic pillars: (i) secondary education and training opportunities; (ii) skills and entrepreneurship; (iii) a protective and gender-equal environment. The portfolio favours an integrated approach fully focused on girls and young women, with three thematic pillars presented as three result domains of the same holistic intervention as defined below:
· Secondary education for vulnerable youth with a special focus on girls.
· Skills development, Employment and entrepreneurship for decent work, with the ambition to increase opportunities for decent and greener jobs for young people, specifically, women, through skills development, entrepreneurship promotion and business development support.
· Protective and gender-equal environment to tackle the discriminatory social norms and structural barriers that girls and young women face in their family, in their community, in the educative and professional spheres, so that girls and young women benefit from the same chances to continue their education and seize increasing remunerative economic opportunities.
