Context
Despite recent overall economic progress, rapid population growth coupled with the impact of climate change and of the global Covid-19 Pandemic, pose significant challenges to the population of Tanzania. This undermines the realization of children’s and women’s rights, disproportionally so in rural areas.
The project aims at the social and economic empowerment of young people, through vocational training, awareness-raising on their rights, prevention of gender-based violence and the establishment of a protective and stimulating environment. The aim is to give adolescents and young people, especially adolescent girls and young women in the Mwanza region access to sustainable educational, professional and economic opportunities. The project works especially with adolescent girls and young women between the ages of 15 and 24 who will be able to count on the support of their families, their community, schools and community authorities, educational staff of learning centres, junior council, youth saving and loan association and protection committees. The project's activities are implemented by two partners (SEDIT and VETA Mwanza), all two of which are active in engaging young people, protecting against violence and supporting economic empowerment
The project is structured around three main outcomes: (i) protection from discrimination and violence, (ii) inclusive quality education, and (iii) economic empowerment of young people.
