The focus of the Financial Sector Deepening Trust Tanzania is on women and youth based on extensive gender analysis, and the financial sector policy documents address gender issues. The action will address some of the challenges identified in the women entrepreneurship study undertaken by the EUD. The component on public finance will support the implementation of gender responsive budgeting, complementing the Gender Transformative action (AAP 2021). Further gender-based analysis may be conducted to understand the gender impact of activities, and policy dialogue will focus on encouraging gender sensitive policies and reforms."}, {"bbox": [97, 397, 245, 424], "category": "Section-header", "text": "## Human Rights"}, {"bbox": [96, 423, 1135, 636], "category": "Text", "text": "Tanzania is a party to the most important international conventions on human rights and has a national legislation providing for the protection of human rights.

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 extensive 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 policy decisions is all the more important. This action will contribute to consolidating the practice of public consultations in policy and administrative decisions and contribute to strengthening civil society's role in public accountability, as stipulated in the CSO Roadmap.

This is particularly important to Tanzania in the face of increasing inequality and the weakened link between economic growth and poverty.
