Background and Rationale Programme Budget Partners Strategic Approach Outcome and Outputs Governance and Coordination Structure Organizational Structure Outline

Despite high economic growth since 2001, Tanzania has made little progress towards reducing extreme hunger and malnutrition – 28.2% of the population (11,909, 427) still lives below the basic needs poverty line. The majority of the population have little or no access to adequate supply of portable water, basic sanitation and health services Despite improvements in basic education, there are still significant challenges such as declining quality standards and gender disparities in primary education access Fertility is still high in Tanzania and 116 out of 1000 girls start childbearing by age 18 years Background and rationale

In response to these challenges, the Government of Tanzania has developed national strategies for growth and poverty alleviation: MKUKUTA & MKUZA The social protection goals of these strategies are concerned with the provision of adequate social protection for poor and vulnerable groups Towards this end, the Government established the Tanzania Social Action Fund (TASAF) in the early 2000s Based on the success of TASAF I and II, it was decided to design and implement TASAF III/PSSN Background and rationale

In February 2014, the Government of Tanzania requested the UN Resident Coordinator a.i. to provide support to the scaling up of the PSSN being operationalized through the TASAF III. UNDP and UNICEF fielded an in-country mission of 4 consultants to formulate a joint UNDP/UNICEF programme. A concept note on the JP – with ILO, UNDP, UNFPA and UNICEF - was submitted to the SDG Fund in June 2014 and a fully fledged project proposal was submitted in September Background and rationale
