International Women's Day

All around the world, International Women's Day represents an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of women while calling for greater equality. The theme for 2015 is ‘Make it Happen’ and it encourages effective action for advancing and recognizing women, in Tanzania, Africa and across the Globe.
While the new millennium has seen some progress towards gender equality and women’s empowerment, a lot still has to be done. The numerous acts of courage carried out by women and their determination to make positive changes have made contributions to our communities and countries. Although positive gains has been made the world remains unequal and African women especially face various obstacles including limited education, high levels of maternal mortality and financial exclusion, not to mention gender based violence. Across the globe women face various stereotypes and discrimination based on gender that affect their health, economic status and literacy to name a few.

And if we took a moment to imagine a society where women were given equal opportunities and allowed to reach their full potential we would imagine a society that is much further ahead than we are today. The Wezesha strategy focuses on Women in rural, food insecure households whose livelihoods depend on natural resources and climate change. We envision a Tanzania where women are empowered to realize their social, political and economic rights and together we can make a difference. As we celebrate International Women’s day in 2015, let us all recommit ourselves as CARE International in Tanzania and do our utmost to advance gender equity. Evidence shows that countries with more gender equality have better economic growth and are happier societies. Companies with more women leaders perform better. Peace agreements that include women are more durable. Equality for Women is Progress for All!

USAID helps 940 Iringa villagers to own land

BY FRIDAY SIMBAYA

United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has mapped and registered land for more than 940 Ilalasimba villagers in Iringa Rural District to help rural people own land.

Launched in 2014, the project developed a participatory methodology to implement the pilot by combining use of technology with village-wide training.
Dubbed “Mobile Application to Secure Tenure (MAST), the  project aims at building knowledge and strengthen capacity to help resolve disputes in the villages.
It also helps villagers to identify parcel boundaries and gather the demographic and tenure information to enable the government to issue formal title deeds for their land.
About 75 per cent of Tanzanians live in rural households with little opportunity for economic growth and access to safe water, sanitation and land tenure.
Through MAST more than 940 villagers of Ilalasimba received formal documentation of their Land, launched in 2014.
