Renewed Women's Voice and Leadership - Tanzania

Agreement Number:

7465397 P014904001

Agreement Value:

$4,999,447.00

Agreement Date:

Feb 27, 2025 - Mar 31, 2030

Description:

This project is part of Canada’s Women’s Voice and Leadership Program, which supports local and regional women’s organisations and networks that are working to promote women’s rights, and advance women’s empowerment and gender equality in developing countries. This is done by supporting their activities, building their institutional capacity, and promoting network and alliance-building as women’s rights and feminist organizations are critical agents of change. The Program also responds to the globally recognized, significant gap in funding and support to women’s rights organizations and movements around the world. The project’s ultimate outcome is to increase the enjoyment of human rights by women and girls in all their diversity and the advancement of gender equality in Tanzania. The project will directly benefit around 20 women’s networks, 30 WROs, 20 YFOs, and 10 LBTQI+ organizations (exact number TBD by the feminist grant-making committees after reviewing applications), 3,000 women, 2,000 young women, and 16 non-binary people. Indirectly, it will reach more than 40,000 individuals through programming, advocacy, and networks, not only in urban settings, but also in rural, undeserved, and Indigenous communities.
