TanzaniaTanzania has enacted policies to create an enabling, gender-equal environment. This underlies its high female labour force participation (80%), though more women remain unemployed/underemployed than men. Besides supporting women to access higher growth/better paying roles, aligning the provisions and enforcement of statutory, customary, and religious laws would support women and their communities.
Key findings
Policy
Strengthen implementation of supportive gender policies, legislation, and programmes at national and subnational levels e.g. by harmonising customary and religious law with statutory provisions.
Programming
Work with and grow women’s networks to build social, human, and economic capital, and tackle normative barriers e.g. through Village Community Banks (VICOBAs) to reach women at the grassroots.
Research
Commission studies to assess the impact of existing programmes (e.g. Women’s Development Fund, Business Women Connect, and USAID NAFAKA project) on women’s economic empowerment outcomes.
