Tanzania yaendeleza mikakati kufikia usawa wa kijinsia

Dar es Salaam. Ili kufikia usawa wa kijinsia nchini kupitia Programu ya Jukwaa la Kizazi chenye Usawa (GEF), Tanzania imejizatiti kutekeleza uwiano sawa kati ya wanaume na wanawake.

Kamati ya Kitaifa ya Ushauri (GEF) ilianzishwa na Rais Samia Suluhu Hassan Desemba 2021 kwa ajili kufuatilia na kushauri kuhusu maendeleo ya utekelezaji wa jukwaa hilo.

Akizungumza leo Jumatano Septemba 18, 2024 jijini Dar es Salaam kwenye mkutano wa ulioandaliwa na Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la uwezeshaji wanawake (UN Women), mshauri wa Rais na Mwenyekiti wa GEF, Angellah Kairuki amesema Tanzania inatekeleza mpango wa malezi na makuzi kwa kuhakikisha baba na mama wanafanya biashara ili kutokwamishwa suala la malezi.

“Ili kuhakikisha hayo yanatekeleza ndio maana tunahusisha sekta binafsi na asasi nyingine za kiraia. Tunataka tuone katika ngazi za uongozi kuwe na wanawake na wanaume akitolea mfano bodi za wakurugenzi,” amesema Kairuki.

Amesema waliandaa mpango kazi huo wa miaka sita na Serikali itahakikisha kila hatua inashirikisha sekta binafsi.

“Wanavyotoa fursa za ajira kwa wanawake, uongozi, umiliki wa wanawake kwenye hisa na tunaamini tutaendelea kupiga hatua zaidi kimataifa huku ikiwa ni faida kwa uchumi wa nchi,” amesema Kairuki.

“Tanzania imeahidi kuinua programu za kitaifa katika sekta mbalimbali za malezi ya watoto na kuanzisha vituo vya kulelea watoto katika ngazi ya kijiji, sehemu za kazi na sokoni,” amesema.

Katika programu hiyo, Tanzania imetekeleza ahadi nne kwa kuteua vituo vya GEF katika mikoa yote 26 ya Tanzania bara, mikoa mitano ya Zanzibar na ndani ya mamlaka za Serikali za mitaa nchi nzima.

Mwakilishi wa Mkurugenzi Mkazi wa UN Women, Dk Mitra Sadananda amesema ahadi ya Tanzania ya kuendeleza usawa wa kijinsia imewezesha wanawake kiuchumi.

“Lengo letu ni kukuza sekta ya binafsi inayowajibika kwa kuhakikisha upatikanaji sawa wa wanawake, ushiriki, sauti, wakala na usalama katika sera na desturi zote mahali pa kazi, sokoni na jamii,”amesema  Dk Sadananda.

Aidha, Mtendaji Mkuu wa Chama cha Waajiri Tanzania (ATE) Suzanne Ndomba-Doran, amesema wanataka kutengeneza usawa wa kijinsia katika maeneo ya kazi.

“Chama chetu kina programu maalumu inayotoa mafunzo kwa wanawake waliopo sekta binafsi na hadi sasa wamehudhuria takribani 497.

“Tunafundisha uongozi, mawasiliano, kuingia katika vikao vya bodi lengo ili wapate nafasi mbalimbali za uongozi katika sehemu zao za kazi,” amesema Ndomba-Doran.

Mkurugenzi Mkuu Taasisi ya Sekta Binafsi (TPSF), Raphael Maganga amesema wanahakikisha usawa wa kijinsia ni suala linalopewa kipaumbele katika taasisi za sekta binafsi.

Tanzania’s opposition party ACT Wazalendo honours veteran politician under new policy

Unguja. Opposition party ACT Wazalendo today officially bids farewell to its former Chairman, Juma Duni Haji, also known as Babu Duni, as part of a new policy designed to honor retired senior leaders at a ceremony held at Kiembesamaki, Zanzibar.

The initiative highlights the party’s commitment to recognizing and supporting individuals who have served with dedication and integrity.

Babu Duni, who stepped down earlier this year, was succeeded by Othman Masoud, now the First Vice President of Zanzibar.

The policy aims to provide ongoing respect and support to retired leaders, ensuring their continued recognition and contribution to the party’s development.

“Recognizing their significant contributions to the development and prosperity of the party, this policy ensures that retired leaders continue to be acknowledged and respected by both the party and the community,” the policy states.

To benefit from this policy, leaders must not have left or been expelled from the party. They must have served the party with honor and dedication. The national leadership committee will determine whether a leader has fulfilled these criteria.

The policy seeks to honor retired leaders, protect their dignity, acknowledge their contributions, leverage their ideas for the party’s growth, and support them to the best of the party’s ability.

In honoring these leaders, the party will provide a vehicle, the type of which will be determined by the national leadership committee. Additionally, they will receive a monthly allowance, with the amount also set by this committee.

Other benefits include health insurance. If a leader does not own a home, the party will cover their rent at a rate decided by the committee.

The leadership committee may also grant special recognition based on the leader’s contributions. Retired leaders will participate in decision-making meetings according to procedures outlined in the party’s constitution.

Depending on the party’s resources at the time, the policy may also apply to retired deputy chairpersons for both the mainland and Zanzibar, the Secretary-General, Deputy Secretary-General for both mainland and Zanzibar, and the party’s Attorney General.

Additionally, leaders, executives, or members with exceptional contributions to the party’s protection, advocacy, and defense may also benefit, as determined by the leadership committee.

Currently, those who are eligible for benefits under this policy include Juma Duni Haji (retired party Chairman) and Zitto Kabwe (retired party leader).Continue Reading
