Mercy Corps has been working in Tanzania since 2011 to build secure and productive communities, with programming focused on promoting peace and good governance, strengthening agriculture and energy value chains, and leveraging the power of technology to accelerate access to information and services for hard-to-reach communities.

Girls Improving Resilience through Livelihoods and Health (GIRL-H) is a five-year, multi-country program being implemented in Uganda, South Sudan, Nigeria and now expanding to Tanzania. In Tanzania, the program aims to improve the well-being of adolescent girls, boys, and young people with diverse identities, which makes them have unique and distinctive needs and capabilities, by increasing their access to skills and knowledge, health resources, formal education, and economic opportunities. GIRL-H also fosters an enabling environment by working with communities to transform unhealthy social norms and create opportunities for adolescent girls, boys, and young people to access education and economic opportunity through an integrated approach to programming. Key to GIRL-H is a robust learning and research agenda that reaches across four focal countries to contribute to the evidence-based on what works to secure access to opportunities for adolescent girls, boys, and young people within the most marginalized communities and to better understand their contribution to household resilience. This evidence and learning will be shared to elevate Mercy Corps’ influence in the program participant’s space and to bolster fundraising efforts to scale the model. In coordination with local implementing partners in Kigoma and Tabora, the Enumerators will support the GIRL-H Tanzania in the routine data collection activities of the GIRL-H program.
