Wezesha Binti in Kigoma Region
We've recently partnered with CARE and TAWEA Agency to implement part of the Strengthening Women's Movement Building project, a sub-project under "Wezesha Binti," in the Kigoma Region.
This two-year project aims to strengthen the capacity and influence of women's rights organizations in Kigoma, enabling them to effectively advocate for gender-responsive policies while promoting inclusive engagement between communities and government to advance gender equality.
