UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.

Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.

And we never give up.

For every child, a chance

Tanzania is a youthful nation, with children and adolescents making up half of its population, and has made significant progress in access to health care, reducing child mortality, enrolment in education, and social protection for households in poverty. However, the pace of poverty reduction has slowed down and the country still faces socio-economic challenges, such as poverty, limited educational and employment opportunities especially for girls and women, and the need to respond to external shocks such as the climate crises and unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic. Tanzania has an ambitious development agenda to tackle these issues and recognizes that job creation and strengthening human capital are becoming more urgent to capitalize on the potential for economic growth during the transition towards a demographic dividend. To reap the full benefits of the demographic dividend, UNICEF’s Country Programme for 2022-2027 is supporting the Government of Tanzania’s development agenda in placing greater emphasis on inclusive and sustainable socioeconomic development that enables all children and adolescents, including those with disabilities, to reach their full potential, lead a healthy life, consume nutritious diets, access quality learning and protection, and meaningfully participate in society, leaving no one behind.
