    Background

    UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security.

    Placing women’s rights at the center of all its efforts, UN Women leads and coordinates United Nations system efforts to ensure that commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action throughout the world. It provides strong and coherent leadership in support of Member States’ priorities and efforts, building effective partnerships with civil society and other relevant actors.

    UN Women supports Member States  to implement international standards including the commitments made through various treaties to promote human rights, women’s rights, and gender equality such as the Convention of the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), SDGs (in particular, Global Goal 5 dedicated to ‘achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls’) with Goal 5.5 that upholds women’s rights to participate in public life, the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (BPfA), the Protocol of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa, and the SADC Protocol on Gender and Development to promote women’s participation, the SADC Plan of Action for Gender and Development, the AU Gender Policy and Action Plan, and the “Maputo Protocol”, the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa and the African Union Agenda 2063 ‘The Africa We Want’.

    Tanzania Mainland, under the leadership of the Ministry of Planning and Investment, is in the process to develop its Vision 2050 which aims at ensuring continuity and efficiency of the National development planning as the current Vision ends by 2025, sustaining achievement of graduation into the lower middle-income country (LMIC) and building the momentum to take off to a higher levels, accommodate the recent rapid technological changes and continue aligning national frameworks with regional and global frameworks to which the country is a signatory. As per its strategic nature, this process offers an opportunity to scale-up the country’s current efforts to mainstream gender and leaving-no-one-behind.

    Vision 2025 for URT (Mainland) articulates the desire to eliminate all forms of discrimination including gender-based discrimination as it states that:“In particular, by the year 2025, racial and gender imbalances will have been redressed such that economic activities will not be identifiable by gender or race. All social relations and processes which manifest and breed inequality, in all aspects of the society (i.e., law, politics, employment, education, culture), will have been reformed. (Vision2025 doc.pg.3).

    The vision further affirms that “Ideally, a nation's development should be people-centred, based on sustainable and shared growth and be free from abject poverty. For Tanzania, this development means that the creation of wealth and its distribution in society must be equitable and free from inequalities and all forms of social and political relations which inhibit empowerment and effective democratic and popular participation of social groups (men and women, boys and girls, the young and old and the able-bodied and disabled persons) in society.” Vision2025 doc.pg.3).

    This provided a strong basis for prioritizing gender equality, women empowerment, and inclusive development towards reaching the country's vision. Vision 2025 is built around five attributes, namely: High Quality livelihood, peace, stability and unity, good governance, a well-educated and learning society and competitive economy capable of producing sustainable growth and shared benefits (URT: Vision 2025)

    Given this background, as per its normative and coordination mandate, UN Women, as Secretariat role of the Gender Equality and Human Rights Mechanism under the leadership of the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MoPI) to support effort to strengthen GEWE mainstreaming in the development of Vision 2050.
