The situation has improved after the accession to power of the incumbent President who has given clear instructions to leave more space to freedom of expression and to respect for human rights. As for the way this action will contribute to consolidating human rights see also the paragraph below on Democracy. The action is aligned with the EU CSO roadmap and Human rights and Democracy country strategy, in particular in relation to gender equality and women and children's rights, which are both currently under finalisation. The Action will apply a Human Rights-based approach. Throughout the Action, attention will be given to the 5 working principles of the human rights based approach: a) applying all human rights for all; b) meaningful and inclusive participation and access to decision-making; c) non-discrimination and equality; d) accountability and rule of law for all; and e) transparency and access to information supported by disaggregated data."}, {"bbox": [83, 470, 180, 497], "category": "Section-header", "text": "## Disability"}, {"bbox": [81, 503, 1120, 608], "category": "Text", "text": "As per OECD Disability DAC codes identified in section 1.1, this action is labelled as D1.

The challenges faced by the country in the last years, which contributed to criticism of different international partners, appeared more evident during the elections, highlighting the absence of a rigorous separation of powers providing for the independence of certain bodies like the judiciary and key agencies such as the electoral commissions. Accordingly, the Head of State has very extended powers and the good functioning of the democratic system relies on his/her policy decisions. In this context, inclusion and consultation of the citizens in the policy decisions is all the more important. This action will contribute to consolidate the practice of consultations of the stakeholders in the policy and administrative decisions to be taken for the management of cities. It will also strengthen the position of the local administrations providing them with more tools to exercise their role."}, {"bbox": [81, 941, 1120, 1022], "category": "Text", "text": "It is expected that women empowerment and awareness raising in all spheres and sectors will have a positive impact on democratic processes, considering notably that they represent more than half of the Tanzanian population."}, {"bbox": [83, 1047, 472, 1075], "category": "Section-header", "text": "## Conflict sensitivity, peace and resilience"}, {"bbox": [81, 1081, 1120, 1159], "category": "Text", "text": "As one of the six priorities of the GAP III and the third Outcome of this action, it is expected to have a positive impact on peace and security, resilience and contribute to a better prevention, management and mitigation or environmental/economic shocks."}, {"bbox": [83, 1187, 321, 1212], "category": "Section-header", "text": "## Disaster Risk Reduction"}, {"bbox": [81, 1220, 1120, 1275], "category": "Text", "text": "There is no direct impact of the action on disaster risk reduction but awareness raising and women's participation and leadership may contribute positively to anticipating and addressing the issue."}, {"bbox": [86, 1298, 356, 1323], "category": "Section-header", "text": "## 3.4 Risks and Lessons Learnt"}, {"bbox": [68, 1334, 1157, 1629], "category": "Table", "text": "<table><thead><tr><td>Category</td><td>Risks</td><td>Likelihood (High/ Medium/ Low)</td><td>Impact (High/ Medium/ Low)</td><td>Mitigating measures</td></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>1</td><td>The political climate becomes less conducive to actions targeting gender equality at all levels.</td><td>Low</td><td>Low</td><td>Ensure continued dialogue with relevant GoT counterparts and civil society organisations.</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>Data and policy Progress Reports may not be produced in a timely manner.
