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.

In 2023 , there was a notable advancement in the prioritization of women’s participation in the green and blue economy in Tanzania, as demonstrated in various national and international platforms, most notably COP 28 . UN Women played a crucial role in supporting the Vice President’s Office (VPO) by developing narratives and documents to be used in COP28 negotiations. These efforts aimed to accelerate partnerships and financing for gender-just transition, emphasizing the need for i) a stronger focus on gender-disaggregated data management across climate policy areas and ii) increased funding for policy areas where women are disproportionately affected by climate change. Subsequently, H. E. Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan, the President of the United Republic of Tanzania launched the Africa Women Clean Cooking Support Program (AWCCSP) at the COP 28 in Dubai UAE, on 2nd December, 2023 to champion the use of clean and affordable cooking fuels and technologies as tool for gender equality and empowerment of women while achieving gender just transition global agenda in fighting climate change. The president of Tanzania extended her acknowledgment and invitation to the Executive Director of UN Women for the launch of the AWCCSP. Additionally, in a significant development this year, Tanzania appointed a Gender and Climate Change Focal Point responsible for implementing and monitoring the country's progress on the 5-year enhanced Lima Work Programme. This appointment was made by the Vice President's Office on Gender and was aligned with the Gender Action Plan adopted at COP25 in 2020. UN Women contribution:substantively contributed by providing capacity building support to the VPO Gender Focal Point , equipping her with the necessary skills to analyze and propose gender-responsive policies, regulations, and strategies.
