PROJECT TITLE WANAWAKE SASA!
Strengthening Women’s & Girls’ civic and Political Participation in Democratic processes.
BACKGROUND
Women in Law and Development in Africa (WiLDAF) Tanzania is a leading women's rights organization committed to advancing gender equality, women's rights, and social justice in Tanzania. With support from the Embassy of Ireland through the Wanawake Sasa! Programme, WiLDAF seeks to commission a comprehensive assessment of the status of women's rights in Tanzania covering the period 2016–2026.

It will serve as a strategic evidence and accountability tool for policy advocacy, programme development, public engagement, and national, regional, and international reporting processes.
The assignment comes at a critical moment as Tanzania transitions into a new national development planning cycle, continues implementation of the National Plan of Action to End Violence Against Women and Children (NPA-VAWC II), advances commitments under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Agenda 2063, the Maputo Protocol, CEDAW, and other regional and international human rights frameworks.
PURPOSE OF THE CONSULTANCY
