Increased inclusive political system for women and youth in 2019 and 2020 elections at national and local levels inTanzania.

The action will result in more women and youth havingincreased opportunities of participating and being electedboth at local and national levels in the 2019 local and 2020 general elections in Tanzania.
The action targets three regions of Tanzania, namely Arusha, Tanga and Mwanza, and will cover 28 constituenciesin promoting national representation for women and youth.However, for ward (councilors) representative positions, theaction will concentrate on 13 constituencies. For village/street chair positions, 20 villages will be identifiedwithin each of the 13 constituencies (260 villages in total) and women and youth supported to vie and capture village/street chairpersons’ positions during the 2019 elections.
