These seeds achieve an average production of 14 bags per acre, compared to 3 bags per acre previously, demonstrating the transformative impact of GAP adoption and capacity-building efforts. women farmers in the sunflower value chain have increased productivity from an initial 3–5 bags per acre to 8–12 bags per acre.

[UNSDCF PlanetOutcome] By 2027 People in the United Republic of Tanzania, especially the most vulnerable contribute to benefit from more inclusive gender-responsive management of natural resources, climate change resilience, DRR increased use of efficient renewable energy (verbatim)
Result:Tanzania maintained a strong presence on the global stage, with high-level government representation emphasizing women’s climate action as a priority. This commitment was reflected in the National Position Paper and active participation during COP29. At COP29, Tanzania reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to advancing gender equality in climate action by pledging to renew the Lima Work Programme on Gender and the Gender Action Plan (GAP). Tanzania also emphasized promoting equal access to education in green technologies and sustainable practices, empowering women in the low-carbon economy, and addressing gender disparities in access to decent work in green sectors for sustainable and equitable development. UN Women played a pivotal role in advancing gender-responsive climate policies and country’s adherence to climate change normative processes through participation in UN coordination meetings with the Vice President’s Office, technical support to the Gender Focal Point and support in the development of Tanzania's Gender-Responsive COP Position Paper. Additionally, in 2024, Tanzania initiated the development of its national Lima Work Programme, further institutionalizing gender equality in climate action frameworks. UN Women has also been instrumental in integrating women’s climate role into key UN joint programs on climate resilience notably through the Zanzibar Joint Programme (ZJP), a partnership with FAO, ILO, UNCDF, UNEP, and UN Women as well as the Rural Women Economic Empowerment Programme, a partnership between UN Women, FAO,WFP and IFAD. Operational-Level Impact UN Women supported the establishment of the Tanzania Clean Cooking Women’s Chapter to strengthen women’s roles in advancing clean cooking solutions. The country office has also provided capacity-building support to duty bearers and women, empowering them to drive climate action. Notably, under UN Women’s KOICA Programme, which concluded in 2023, and the ongoing Joint Programme for Rural Women’s Economic Empowerment, tangible results have been achieved in climate adaptation and mitigation.For example, in Singida, farmers in Mnang’ana and Kipumbwiko villages adopted protective structures such as net house technology to produce commercial tree seedlings. Improved seed varieties, organic manure, and fertilizers enhanced soil health. In 2024, farmers in Kipumbwiko produced and sold over 150 mango tree seedlings to community members, contributing to climate change mitigation efforts while promoting sustainable livelihoods.

[UNSDCF People Outcome] By 2027, people in the URT, especially the most vulnerable, increasingly utilize quality gender transformative, inclusive, and integrated basic education, health (with particular focus on RMNCAH, AIDS, TB, malaria, and epidemic prone diseases), nutrition, WASH, and protection services.

This year, there has been increased engagement from duty bearers and communities in addressing violence against women and girls (VAWG) at all levels. The government established the National Plan of Action for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and Children (NPA VAWC) for 2024-2028 and has disseminated it to stakeholders. Additionally, multisectoral coordination structures have been enhanced, notably through the implementation of Women and Children Coordinators (WCCs) at the district level. The WCCs have developed comprehensive action plans, which have been integrated into district budgets, thereby reinforcing coordinated efforts to respond to violence. Institutional structures for gender equality have been strengthened with the establishment of a Gender Responsive Budget mechanism aimed at ending VAWG and building institutional capacity for effective resource allocation. At least four ministries have created VAW prevention and response strategies, which bolster the institutions involved in coordinating the implementation of measures to end all forms of violence. For instance, the Ministry of Education and the vocational training center collaborated with the transport sector to ensure that the code of conduct for public transport expressly denounces all forms of sexual and gender-based violence. The police have committed to implementing plans that include components addressing electronic violence against women (eVAW). The justice sector has developed at least three guidelines to accelerate the proceedings of gender-based violence (GBV) cases, while the Ministry of Finance has made high-level commitments to ensure that gender-responsive budgets incorporate VAW prevention interventions. Moreover, two guiding notes on Violence Against Women and Positive Masculinity, along with a frequently asked questions (FAQ) document for VAW prevention and response, have been produced to help the public better understand how toxic masculinity affects not only women and girls but also men and boys. This initiative underscores the importance of gender equality for both genders and calls for joint efforts to achieve it. This aligns with the need to accelerate progress toward gender equality as a strategy to end VAW. In response to VAWG, efforts have also been made to scale up the UN Global VAWG Essential Service Package for survivors of violence within the national sectoral plan. Specifically, this year the government has integrated the development of a comprehensive Gender Justice Strategy into its plans, which includes guidelines for establishing a Women’s Rights Forum. Additionally, a toll-free legal aid hotline was launched in partnership with the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar, which is expected to reach 10,000 women and girls. Furthermore, multisectoral coordination meetings have enhanced case management and forensic evidence collection, resulting in a 43.7% increase in reporting rates of violence against women and girls from 2022 to 2023. Legal aid services have provided direct assistance to 75 women facing challenges such as land disputes and custody issues, supported by training for 104 legal providers and an upcoming Gender Bench Book to guide gender-sensitive judicial practices.
