As UNFPA marks the implementation of the first year of its eighth country programme (2016/17-2020/21) in Tanzania, it does so in a country that is experiencing change. Tanzania is moving steadily towards middle-income status, and changes in the population structure have resulted in a very youthful population. Sustainable development can only be achieved if it is inclusive, leaving no one behind.
UNFPA Tanzania's five-year programme (2016-2021) supports the Government of Tanzania’s second Five-Year Development Plan (FYDP II 2016-2022) and the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar’s Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty III, 2016-2020 (MKUZA III) in alignment with the National Visions (the Tanzania Development Vision 2025 and Zanzibar Vision 2020).
