Fact Sheet: Ujana Wangu Nguvu Yangu
Launched in July 2018, the Ujana Wangu Nguvu Yangu “My youth, My power” project funded by Irish Aid focuses on strengthening health systems, human resources and infrastructure so that access to quality sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) services and information, including maternal and child health and gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response, is expanded for some of the furthest behind women and young people in local communities in Kigoma Region – with targeted support to young people living in the three refugee camps.
The State of the World's Midwifery 2021
The State of the World’s Midwifery 2021 builds on previous reports in the SoWMy series and represents an unprecedented effort to document the whole world’s Sexual, Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn and Adolescent Health workforce, with a focus on midwives. It calls for urgent investment in midwives to enable them to fulfil their potential.
Your Rights – Our Vision: A snapshot of 2020
The 2020 Highlights provide a snapshot of UNFPA’s work and progress in 2020, as we continue to work in support of the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania, and with our partners, to deliver on our collective vision for 2030. A better and more equal world for women and young people; a world where every woman and young person has control over their bodies and real rights and choices.
Amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic, Midwives Save Lives
The aim of these personal stories from midwives and the findings in this report are to stimulate policy discussions and enable evidence-based decision-making at national and subnational levels, and to help countries meet their commitments towards the reduction of preventable maternal death.
Your Rights: Our Vision - UNFPA Tanzania 2020 Highlights
2020 was a remarkably difficult, very sad – and different year, but UNFPA Tanzania’s mission remained the same – to ensure that the sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights of women and girls and young people were protected. That progress made towards global goals, UNFPA’s three zeros – zero unmet need for family planning, zero preventable maternal deaths and zero gender-based violence and harmful practices by 2030 – and the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) did not stall.
My Body is My Own
The 2021 State of World Population report marks the first time a United Nations report focuses on the power and agency of individuals to make choices about their bodies without fear, violence or coercion.
The report examines data on women’s decision-making power and on laws supportive of sexual and reproductive health and rights.
