Project Name: Strengthening Young People’s Voice for Access to Integrated Comprehensive SRH Services in Morogoro and Iringa Regions, Tanzania1.0 BACKGROUND

CHAMA CHA UZAZI NA MALEZI BORA TANZANIA (UMATI)  

Chama cha Uzazi na Malezi Bora Tanzania (UMATI) is an autonomous, non-political national NGO providing Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) information, education, and services in Tanzania. It has been in operation since 1959 and became a leading national organization providing quality youth-friendly SRH information and services, particularly to young people and women. In 1965 UMATI became a member association for International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) where technical and core funds support was provided. By being a member of IPPF, UMATI is internationally connected through experience sharing with other IPPF member associations. 

UMATI is envisioning to see a Tanzania where people are free to choose and exercise their Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights without discrimination in gender, sex, and age. The visioning process of UMATI highlighted the need to integrate “without discrimination” as a recurring theme as well as an organizational value statement. “Freedom of choice” was agreed as a paramount inclusion at the end that UMATI would love to see by doing its core business. 

UMATI’s Mission Statement is to champion SRHR and provide information and services targeting the young and underserved. In coming up with the Mission Statement, cognizance was put on the strategic position of UMATI as a leading SRHR service provider in Tanzania. This was eventually replaced by “champion” recognizing the need to lead not only by the provision of services but also by enabling other service providers including capacity building to local CSOs partners in the country to champion SRHR through their advocacy initiatives. UMATI strives for structural poverty reduction by improving the health of people in the country regardless of gender and political or religious beliefs, with priorities being given to the poorest communities and hard-to-reach populations.

SAUTI YA VIJANA | STRENGTHENING YOUTH VOICE PROJECT

CHAMA CHA UZAZI NA MALEZI BORA TANZANIA (UMATI), in collaboration with Women Global Network for Reproductive Rights (WGNRR Africa), is implementing a two (years) Strengthening Young People’s Voice for Access Integrated Comprehensive SRH services (SYV) Project funded by AmplifyChange, UK. The project is implemented in three districts of Morogoro region (Morogoro MC, Kilosa DC, and Mlimba DC) and two districts of Iringa region (Iringa MC, and Kilolo DC) in collaboration with five (5) youth and women-led civil society organizations (Y&WLCs) from each of the five project operating districts. From Morogoro region, these Y&WLCs are Imara Trust Fund from Kilosa District, Mofu Rothenberg from Mlimba district, and BHASSA Tanzania from Morogoro Municipality. In Iringa region, the project work with Tanzania Youth Uprising from Iringa Municipality and Ilula Orphanage Programme from Kilolo district.

The objective of the project is to increase young people’s ability to collectively advocate for the fulfillment of their sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and to live free from discrimination and violence. It intends to amplify the voice of youth-led and women right organizations to effectively advocate, in a coordinated approach, for young people’s access to integrated, quality, youth-friendly SRHR information and services. Specifically, the project will connect young people advocates and health workers to work together using evidence-based approaches to remove social, legal, and institutional barriers to adolescent girls and young women’s access to integrated SRH services and information through joint advocacy campaigning, demand creation, and service delivery; and to create of safe spaces that facilitate mutual learning, sharing and supporting. 

PROJECT GOAL, OBJECTIVE, PURPOSE & INTERMEDIATE OUTCOMES 

Project Goal 

To see all youth and women enjoy their bodily autonomy and SRHR with the complete ability to fulfill their full potential free from gender or age-related oppression or violence. 

Project Objective: 

  • To build the capacity of youth-led civil society organizations to generate knowledge to influence policies and practice on SRHR.
  • To engage youth and women-led civil society organizations and networks at the regional and national level to undertake advocacy and promote effective measures to end gender inequalities and improve access to SRHR. 
  • To strengthen local youth and women movements at the regional and national level in shifting social norms and raising community awareness regarding SRHR 
  • To expand access to integrated, quality, and right-based SRH services to poor, hard-to-reach, vulnerable/marginalized youth and women of reproductive age using innovative mobile outreach model and demand generation techniques. 
  • To build the capacity of government facilities to provide integrated, quality, and right-based SRHR services to poor, hard-to-reach, vulnerable/marginalized youth and women using an innovative cluster model. 

Project Intermediate Outcomes 

  • Improve the ability of Y&WLCs and networks to undertake advocacy and promote effective measures to end gender inequalities and improve SRHR services; 
  • Increase the capacity of Y&WLCs and networks to generate knowledge and evidence to influence policies and practice on SRHR; 
  • Increase knowledge, skills, and attitude of how to provide gender-responsive, youth-friendly comprehensive SRH services among health service providers; 
  • Increase the ability of health systems and institutions to provide gender-responsive, youth-friendly comprehensive SRH. 

RATIONALE FOR THE CONSULTANCY

The project has a focus on improving the capacity of youth and women-led civil society organizations to undertake advocacy and promote effective measures to end gender inequalities and improve access to SRHR among adolescents and young people aged 10 – 24 years. In achieving this, the project has aimed to create a stronger movement among youth- and women-led civil society organizations to generate knowledge and collaborations that will influence policies and practices on improving youth SRHR. 

Tanzania, as it is the case with many other African countries, youth access to equitable and youth-friendly SRHR remains a challenge. Despite having a number of initiatives and civil society organizations advocating for equitable access to comprehensive SRH information and services among adolescents and young people, still these initiatives and CSOs work in silo resulting to a luck of stronger advocacy movements on youth SRHR.

The underlying assumption of the project is that the Y&WLCs can effectively undertake advocacy work if they have the capacity to advocate for youth equitable access to SRHR services and can work in collaborations. With stronger movements, Y&WLCs brings together diverse voices, experiences, and expertise which are critical to addressing complex and interconnected youth SRHR challenges. Through strategic partnerships and collaborations, Y&WLCs can adequately share resource, including funding, expertise, and networks for long-term and sustainable impact. Of more importance, when Y&WLCs collaborate, their form a formidable “advocacy power”, as their collective efforts can exert greater pressure on policymakers and stakeholders to prioritize youth SRHR. 

It’s under these assumptions, the project aims to hire a consultant that will strengthen the capacity of the selected Y&WLCs in areas as detailed in this consultancy call for a stronger youth SRHR advocacy movement.
