The EU would be the only Donor Partner with a holistic gender support package that addresses all six of the Gender Action Plan III (2021-2025) priorities. As a cross-cutting issue, gender equality and women's empowerment have the potential to boost inclusive economic growth as well as increase citizens', in particular women and girls, wellbeing. A gender transformative approach aiming at tackling gender norms and culture imbalances is needed to support all initiatives. Cultural transformations are a long process and cannot be imposed with an external top-down approach but have to be embedded in all the different levels of each initiative. A genuine and long-term involvement of men and boys, CSO, religious leaders, decision makers and positive influencers is key to achieve a sustainable impact from the different initiatives."}, {"bbox": [83, 542, 1170, 755], "category": "Text", "text": "School system has also a huge potential to contribute to women empowerment. Tanzania has made great strides in improving access to education for girls and has celebrated the achievement of gender parity in primary education. However, there are still substantial challenges for girls that hinder their progress in the schooling system, mostly related to gender based violence in schools, early marriages and early pregnancies, limited hygiene facilities and strict social norms. According to the World Bank (2021), more than 120,000 girls drop out of school annually in Tanzania.
