Despite the letter of the law, in the last years, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms faced some restrictions. The situation has improved after the accession to power of the incumbent President who has given positive signals, still to be confirmed by concrete actions, on 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. Special attention will be also paid to the Decent work agenda in particular the rights at work such as protection from discrimination, forced labour and child labour, and freedom of association. As competing interests over ocean spaces will continue to grow in the coming years, special emphasis will be given to strengthen participatory ocean governance that embraces human rights and gender equality. The action will thus contribute to implement the Human Rights and Democary Country Strategy for Tanzania, in particular priorities linked to Gender Equality and women's rights, Freedom of expression and association."}, {"bbox": [96, 559, 193, 586], "category": "Section-header", "text": "## Disability"}, {"bbox": [96, 587, 1132, 666], "category": "Text", "text": "As per OECD Disability DAC codes identified in section 1.1, this action is labelled as D0.

The challenges faced by the country in the last years, which contributed to criticism of different international partners, appeared more evident during the 2020 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 CBOs system that allows communities to have a voice in the management of their direct environment and in the management and use of land and tenure and user rights in fisheries and aquaculture. It will also strengthen the position of the local administrations providing them with more tools to exercise their role."}, {"bbox": [96, 968, 485, 994], "category": "Section-header", "text": "## Conflict sensitivity, peace and resilience"}, {"bbox": [96, 995, 1132, 1234], "category": "Text", "text": "The population of the Coastal Area of Tanzania and in the Islands is among the poorest in the country.
