Background
The Tanzanian office of the Belgian Development Agency, Enabel Tanzania, is implementing the Wezesha Binti Project which is the bilateral cooperation programme funded by the Belgian Federal Government. The general objective of the project is to ensure that “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”. Its specific objective is to ensure that “Girls and young women (14 to 29 years), in targeted districts of Kigoma, are empowered, access multiple conducive learning pathways and enjoy decent and green employment and entrepreneurship”.

The Wezesha Binti project is designed as an integrated programme that is fully focused on girls and young women through three results areas of the same holistic intervention as defined below:
