Women in Law and Development in Africa (WiLDAF) in collaboration with Her Initiative and Jamii Forum
under the support of the US Government through USAID; implements the USAID Wanawake Sasa project.
The USAID Wanawake Sasa Project is a robust three-year initiative that reckons women and girls’ civic and
political participation requires creating an enabling environment from multi-sectorial and multi-disciplinary
perspectives. It is implemented in four regions in Tanzania mainland (Dar Es Salaam, Iringa, Arusha, and
Mwanza) and Zanzibar (Unguja and Pemba).
The USAID Wanawake Sasa project contributes to changing narratives and transforming the lives of women
and girls through:
1. Strengthening women and girls to fully exercise their civic and political rights.
2. Engagement of men and boys as partners and champions of gender equity and equality
3. Strengthening Legal and Institutional frameworks.
4. Strengthening civil society organizations to actively engage in promoting women and youth civic and
political engagements.
The goal of the USAID Wanawake Sasa project is to strengthen and increase women and girls’ civic and political
participation for inclusive governance and sustained democracy. The project goal contributes to the Mission’s
objective of strengthening democratic principles of citizen-responsive governance, developing a strong cadre
of emerging youth leaders who promote and demand a participatory and citizen-centric model of governance.
In particular, the program seeks to contribute to CDCS Development Objective 2: Empowerment, Productivity
and Engagement of Tanzanians aged 15-35 increased, specifically toward IR 2.3: Civic Participation and
Leadership Increased and Development Objective 3: Capacity of State and Non-State Actors strengthened to
benefit future generations, and specifically toward IR 3.2: Enabling environment for private sector and CSOs
