UNICEF in Tanzania

UNICEF has been on the ground in Tanzania since 1954 as part of its emergency operations, though the office was set up in 1975. Since then, UNICEF’s assistance to Tanzania has taken many forms guided by the changing situation of women and children in Tanzania, national and organization priorities.

 

UNICEF plays a unique role in Tanzania as an advocate for children’s rights, identifying gaps in their realization, providing technical advice and assistance to the Government in addressing the gaps, and bringing evidence to the table.
