World Bank Income Classification:Low IncomeThe World Bank classifies economies for analytical purposes into four income groups: low, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high income. For this purpose it uses gross national income (GNI) per capita data in U.S. dollars, converted from local currency using the World Bank Atlas method, which is applied to smooth exchange rate fluctuations.Least Developed Country:YesSince 1971, the United Nations has recognized LDCs as a category of States that are deemed highly disadvantaged in their development process, for structural, historical and also geographical reasons. Three criteria are used: per capita income, human assets, and economic vulnerability.Gender Inequality Index:0.575GII is a composite metric of gender inequality using three dimensions: reproductive health, empowerment and the labour market. A low GII value indicates low inequality between women and men, and vice-versa.Gender Development Index:0.723GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, education, and command over economic resources.

Selected legislation, policies and justice system are gender-responsive and promote women's rights and gender equality
UN Women supported to maintain momentum for review of the minimum age of marriage, through continued engagement in various advocacy initiatives at grassroots and national level. The interventions included:
Draft consolidated report on regional consultations conducted on the amendment of the Law of marriage Act 1977 was developed. Support to the Ministry of Constitution and Legal Affairs (MoCLA) to conduct regional consultations Dar es Salaam, Lindi, Mtwara, Shinyanga and Mara and Tanga on the amendment of the Law of Marriage Act (LMA). Positive feedback is being received and - wide support from the communities for raising the age of marriage for girls and boys to 18 (and sometimes even higher up to 25 years for girls and 30 years for boys).
A final draft report on the assessment of discriminatory laws from a gender perspective in Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar was finalised. The information from the report has fed into ongoing programme designs for the CO including the ‘EU proposal on ‘Ending Violence Against Women & Girls and Advancing Women’s Leadership in the Public Sector in Zanzibar & Tanzania Mainland’, and it has further fed into the finalisation of the Tanzania UNSDCF 2022 - 2027 process (indicator, target setting) at country level.
A position paper with a call for action to improve girls’ rights in the country and amend the minimum age of marriage was developed and presented by 223 girls and young women to UN Women Executive Director and the Minister for Community Development, Gender, Women and Special Groups during the commemoration of the International Day of the Girl Child.
Action plan for the URT which identifies key strategies to support implementation, and advocacy related to the prioritized areas for reform of discriminatory laws was developed during the reporting period.
In 2022, the UN Women Tanzania Office advanced the capacity of women living with disabilities and Organisations of Persons living with Disabilities (OPDs) to participate effectively in national policy processes through participation in the evaluation of National Plan of Action to end Violence Against Women and Children 2017/18 – 2021/22 (NPA/VAWC) and development of its successor plan, as well as the development of 2023 SDGs Voluntary National Report. Strategic issues focused on women with disabilities have been included in the evaluation report of the National Plan of Action to End Violence Against Women and Children 2017/18 – 2021/22 (NPA-VAWC). A working paper and position paper on the inclusion of these issues were developed and presented to the NPA-VAWC Government Evaluation Secretariate by women living with disabilities and OPDs. Persons with disabilities also made key contributions to the content of the 2023 SDGs Voluntary Rational Report. During a consultation meeting held among women living with disabilities and OPDs, including women led OPDs, they raised the awareness of persons with disabilities on the importance of voicing their needs in national normative reporting processes.
The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process in Tanzania provided crucial opportunities to utilize the UPR recommendations to enhance the implementation of recommendations from other human rights mechanisms. For example, building on the UPR process, UN Women provided technical support to the two gender ministries in Mainland and Zanzibar to ensure that they continued leading the process of developing and finalizing Tanzania’s 9th periodic CEDAW report. Since the preparations of the UPR and CEDAW national reports were taking place simultaneously, during discussions with the two Gender Ministries, the CEDAW recommendations were thematically linked to gender related UPR recommendations to ensure consolidated data collection and discussions and to encourage synergies, taking advantage of the UPR mechanism as a key entry point for engagement and advocacy. UN Women, as part of the UN UPR Secretariate (which includes UNFPA, UN Women, UNDP, UNICEF, OHCHR), prepared the gender analysis of the Tanzania UPR recommendations that were presented to the Development Partners Group (DPG-Main) and the separate DPG on Gender Equality (DPG GE) in 2022. Tanzania received 252 UPR recommendations out of which 167 were accepted and enjoy the support of the administration, 20 were partially accepted, and 65 were “noted” (not accepted). 36% of the accepted recommendations had gender specific considerations.
A trainer’s manual for the Gender Bench Book on women’s Rights (GBB) in Tanzania has been developed to roll out the GBB, the manual acts as a guiding tool to trainers for planned gender-sensitive trainings to judicial officers including judges and magistrates and 20 (12 females and 8 males) TOTs trained. A technical working with 45 participants including: TAWJA members, Judiciary, Retired Judges (experts); relevant Government Ministries, Representatives from Institute of Judicial Administration, Representative from Law School of Tanzania, CSO Partners, DPs and UN Women was held to forward looking on how to move the GBB rollout forward in a more sustainable way and a road map was developed. A pre-testing meeting for the trainer’s manual was conducted with 25 female participants including Judges of the Court of Appeal, Magistrates and High Court Judges. 20 judicial officers (12 females and 8 males) including judges and resident magistrates have undertaken a TOT (training of trainers) on the trainer’s manual for the Gender Bench Book on women’s Rights (GBB). Among other topics covered by the training includes GBV and crime handling, Women’s and children’s international, regional and local human rights laws. The TOTs will roll out the training of Judges and magistrates in Tanzania on the GBB. Gender Analysis in Primary Courts: case study of selected courts in Mara and Rukwa regions has been conducted. 120 GBV/VAW judgements were collected in two regions and the judgements analyzed to understand the trends in adjudication from a gendered perspective in 20 Primary Courts in Sumbawanga Region (Rukwa and Katavi Districts) and Mara Region (Musoma and Serengeti Districts). The study findings will act as baseline study to understand the prevailing situation of GBV cases as revealed in judgments and other decisions in primary courts.
Result: In 2022, the Coalition for Women Human Rights Defenders launched its first ever strategic plan and jointly charted the course forward to ensure that women human rights defenders can safely continue to uphold human rights, improve societies, and make the realization of women’s rights a reality every day. UN Women in partnership with OHCHR further supported the learning session during the commemoration of International Day of Women Human Rights Defenders Tanzania attended by 126 WHRDs from all regions in Tanzania, under the theme: “Creating a Safer Working Environment for Women Human Rights Defenders in Tanzania”. The strategic plan and learning session were used as tools to secure commitment and collaboration from actors including the government to strengthen the protection mechanisms for women human rights defenders and women’s rights activists.
UN Women contribution included: Coordination and further review of the various report drafts to ensure authenticity. Development of presentation, supporting 6 participants from Tanzania to attend the meeting including one UN Women staff and 5 government officials from strategic Ministries engaged in law review processes. Resource mobilization to get the participants to attend the meeting. Participation in national consultations on the amendment of the law on the age of marriage in Dar es salaam region and technical support for the development of the draft report on community consultations for amendment of the Law of Marriage Act. Delivery of presentations on various topics including recent studies on women with disabilities.
